The Nine—Randall D. Standridge. Written in honor
of the Little Rock Central Nine and the 60th anniversary
of the integration of the Little Rock school system, this

shout, and jeer before the melody emerges again,
triumphant. At turns tender, furious, contemplative,
and triumphant, The Nine features a solo for vocalist
(optionally cued for instruments) and is sure to be an
audience and student favorite. Stirring!
