Featuring mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists, this large-scale work sets a poem by American writer and civil rights activist James Weldon Johnson that depicts the Creation story. Blues and gospel influences are present throughout, and declamatory solo writing brings the narrative to life, with the baritone soloist taking on the role of God and the choir and mezzo-soprano sharing the role of narrator. The work is rich in rhythmic vitality and dramatic moments that make full use of the orchestral forces in both the full orchestra and small ensemble accompaniments. Conductor's scores and instrumental parts for both versions are available on rental.
