Beskrivning

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied A powerfully emotive setting that contrasts moments of reflection with declamatory exultation, Psalm 57 uses passages from the eponymous psalm in the King James translation. Written in 1972, it is dedicated to the Brazeal Dennard Chorale, a Detroit-based choir known for championing the music of Black composers. Jackson King employs imitative writing to great effect, and the anthem's slow tempo makes space for expansive melodic lines.

Mer om författaren

Betty Jackson King (1928-94) is best known for her choral and solo vocal works. Several of her choral works are sacred in nature, reflecting her upbringing: her father was a pastor and part of the reason for her deep religious faith. Although she grew up in Chicago, her family's time in Mississippi brought about the influence of spirituals, particularly those heard at church,and she later arranged spirituals for various choral scorings. King earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in piano and a master's degree in composition from the Chicago Musical College of Roosevelt University. In her professional life, she formed and served as the conductor of The Betty Jackson King Artists, who performed in the Chicago area. She later served as a president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc.
