MLK - arr. Bob Chilcott

Performed by the University of Pretoria Camerata, conducted by Dr. Michael Barrett.
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be
Mmm, mmm, mmm
So let it be
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain, let it rain
Rain on him
MLK is a short, pensive piece written as an elegy to Martin Luther King Jr. This piece, made famous by Irish rock band U2, is a sweet, hymnal tune that speaks volumes in its simplicity.
King's inspiring message and groundbreaking work during the American Civil Rights Movement is something we can all look up to and remember on this Day of Reconciliation.

MLK Day, 2023, and this is the first time I've heard this specific version. I've heard quite a few, namely the Bob Chilcott arrangement for Concordia Choir. Your ending doesn't have the sub-basement dwelling Bass I voices that Concordia has, but their arrangement is geard toward that - yours is equally impressive in voices, strength, and dynamics. The one thing you have that Concordia does not... 03:11 to 03:16 and absolutely deafining silence. What an absolutely _______________ (insert superlative(s) of choice) use of silence - I actually stopped breathing and could hear my own heart beat. To Dr. Barrett and your chior - BRAVO!!!
