Children of the Moon
for SATB choir

TEXT
from "Children of the Moon"
W.E.B. Du Bois, 1920

I am dead
Yet Somehow, Somewhere,
In Time’s weird contraction,
May tell of that dread deed, wherewith
I brought to children of the Moon
Freedom and vast salvation.

I rose upon the mountain of the moon
I feel the blazing glory of the sun,
I heard the song of children crying
“Free”
​I saw the face of Freedom
And I died

The Case Concert Choir at Case Western Reserve University
Christopher Clark, conductor
Gabriel Frietas, piano
