This piece, commissioned by Chorus Austin in memory of their beloved board member, Dr. Reuben Roosevelt McDaniel, Jr., incorporates gospel elements and welcomes but does not require improvisation in the solo, piano and congas. With a secular text, it begins in simplicity with a slow, steady beat of unison voices, then shifts to a moving tempo with intensified rhythms, choir harmonies, and the addition of congas.
See an example of the piece performed exactly as written as in the premiere by Chorus Austin: https://youtu.be/GdQJkKRPyvk?si=tPfCQuVn2HvnmwwB. To demonstrate options using improvisation, see the composer leading a virtual choir as soloist and pianist with her husband, accomplished conga player, Joe Clayton, on percussion: https://youtu.be/9-sEpKEu8ZE?si=YkQG6b1WcflazEvx
