Composed by Alan Bullard. 21st Century,Classical. 8 pages. Colne Edition / BullardMusic #862237. Published by Colne Edition / BullardMusic (A0.1269728).The Gift to Sing is a setting for SATB and piano of the poem by James Weldon Johnson, the American writer, poet, and civil rights activist. It tells us that whatever troubles life might bring, singing will ‘turn the gloom to cheerful day’. This song similarly turns, from a sombre minor to a joyful major, finally evaporating into the distance.
The Gift to Sing is a movement from Alan Bullard’s cantata Endless Song, for SATB choir and strings (quartet, quintet, or orchestra), or piano (Colne Edition CE76).
The audio recording is taken from a live performance of Endless Song, with string quintet.
The video recording on YouTube (scrolling score) is digitally produced, with piano.
