What a powerful juxtaposition of two iconic African American spirituals: “Wayfaring Stranger” and “I Want Jesus to Walk with Me.” “I am a stranger in a strange land...how long must we cry out?” This impactful work is simultaneously a cry of lamentation, a song of personal invitation, and a statement of assurance. Echos of past and current hardship (slavery, immigration, pandemic, injustice, isolation) are voiced by choir and soloists throughout this compelling piece, and allow multiple perspectives into the text. A journey of sorrow and hope, worthy of the finest choirs.
