SPIRITUALS, GOSPEL & SOUTHERN GOSPEL
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.

You again and again." The repeated responses
