God Bless the Young Folk (vocal duet)

SATB mixed choir, Difficulty : 2, piano, 3-5 min.Composer(s): Carol Barnett

Call-and-response textures and a jazzy, syncopated piano accompaniment celebrate youth’s eternal quest for “some Truer, Better Thing.” 

Written for VocalEssence, this setting of W. E. B. DuBois texts celebrates “the young folk, they that seek and seldom find.” The mesmerizing repetition of the text and the gradual addition of voices culminate in a triumphant celebration of those young folk “who open up the hidden ways” – “their souls hunger after God.”
