If the American Dream includes hope of a better life in a promised land, then the story we tell must also acknowledge that dream has not always been equally available to all Americans. This concert gives us both sentiments of this 鈥淎merican Story.鈥
Rollo Dilworth set his choral and wind ensemble work 鈥淲eather鈥 to the poem of the same name by Claudia Rankine. 鈥淲eather鈥 (the poem) appeared in the New York Times Magazine shortly after the murder of George Floyd in 2020. It captured in a few pointed phrases the pain of the pandemic and of America鈥檚 racial conflicts. Using American-born musical traditions, including the Blues, Rollo Dilworth juxtaposes Rankine鈥檚 words against a musical fabric, which challenges us to accept this part of our American story, and in time weather that challenge.
Andr茅 Thomas, a composer known around the world for his spirituals, wrote his 鈥淢ass of Love and Joy鈥 (filled with moving and joyous spirituals) in 2018 upon his own retirement, and which concludes and lifts up this choral concert. Thomas says of his work, 鈥渁nyone can relate to spirituals. Everyone goes through trials and everyone looks for comfort.鈥

鈥淗istorically, the arts have always fulfilled the dual roles of responding to change while at the same time creating change. Claudia Rankine鈥檚 poem, Weather, is a poem that gives voice to the voiceless, especially those who have been and continue to be marginalized because of difference. It responds to and reflects realities that are both culturally specific and humanly universal. Claudia Rankine challenges all of us (no matter your background or lived experience) to know better, to do better, to take action, and to become agents of social justice and social change.鈥
