The Promise of Liberty is designed for flexibility: **May be sung a cappella or with piano or guitar accompaniment. **All verses are unison. **The chorus may be sung in unison or 2-part harmony. **The final chorus has an optional descant. **The conductor may invite the audience to join in the final chorus.
"The Promise of Liberty provides many performance options, as well as many teachable moments. From learning to recognize an AB form, following 1st and 2nd endings, repeat signs, duple rhythms, descant and other young choral vocabulary words, your kids will learn to read a choral score and learn about compositional form, not to mention the history of the Statue of Liberty. Add the variations to the chorus and other performance options, and you have a great new patriotic number for audiences to enjoy." - Jenny Price, former Washington State ACDA Repertoire & Standard Chair, Children's Choirs
The Promise of Liberty:
Winds blow fierce and foul storms rage. Safe shelter seems a hopeless dream. But in the dark a promise beams, a beacon to a golden age.
[Chorus] "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. Give me the wretched from your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door, I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
So cries the strong heroic woman, raising her arm to light the way. Her words ring out from day to day to greet each wave of immigrants.
[Repeat chorus]
Some crossed the sea in a tempest squall. More came by land up the hemisphere. Still there's room for everyone here. The promise of liberty welcomes all.
[Repeat chorus]
Winds still blow and storms still threaten the shelter we build in this new land. But here we weave a fabric grand Made strong from many colored threads.
[Repeat chorus].
