L
Soon We Will Be Done—arr. Kyle Pederson. Building on the original text,
this adaptation of the classic spiritual invites the listener to envision and
commit to a better, more just world - a world of inclusion, radical kindness,
compassion, love, and grace - a world where we have the courage to
champion the inherent dignity and value of all people, a world where we
will be done with all the ways we deny a person's worth. Spoken word is
incorporated throughout, heightening the intensity of the performance, and
giving a sense of immediacy to the challenge for the choir and audience to
work together for justice, equity, and wholeness.
