Ernesto Herrera : Agnus Dei

In this work, elements of Renaissance polyphony combine with jazz harmonies and Cuban folklore to create an inspired new piece. There is a passionate plea in the music for divine mercy in moments of desperation and suffering which reflect the daily lives of many Cuban people.

Composer: Ernesto Herrera

Damien Geter : The Talk

In the life of every black child, they will have the talk with a trusted adult: what to do if they are pulled over, or have an encounter with the police. This powerful new choral sheds light on the sad but true situation that people of color experience when dealing with law enforcement. This music and the instructions are succinct and straight to the point. Pull over. Don't run. Keep calm. The setting of these words allows for a much needed discussion by students and audience alike.

Composer: Damien Geter

Marques L.A. Garrett : We Shall Walk Through the Valley

Composer: Marques L.A. Garrett
