They Shall Run and Be Free
This dramatic tone poem was written after a moving visit to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, reflecting the danger and daring experienced during a perilous slave escape. The opening main theme works through changing meters and dissonances reflective of running for one's life while being chased. The slower middle section includes a setting of the beautiful Negro spiritual Oh Freedom which reflects the attitude and desperation of many slaves.
