The Journey Of Harriet Tubman
Composer: Ron Kean
Voicing: FS SATB
Released: January 2018
This 5-movement, multi-media choral drama honors one of the great heroes of the emancipation era. The journey of those who sacrificed becomes a story we can relive and honor. Dr. Kean's goal was to compose and arrange original music and traditional spirituals in a style that is evocative of the enslaved Africans' frame of mind. The spirituals are accompanied with kalimba (thumb piano) to honor the sub-Saharan African musical tradition of connecting with ancestors and with the marimba to sound like the west African balafon. This is a work that will move an audience to tears. (Medium to Advanced)
“The Journey of Harriet Tubman” has generated a much needed discussion of African American enslavement and and cultural appropriation. The composer has dedicated half of his royalties from this work to ''The Equal Justice Initiative,'' a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.

Ron Kean's writing style has been called ''neo-romanticism'' and it certainly fits with this piece. Stirring vocal melodic lines bathed in rich harmonies and a poignant text give us the ingredients for another Kean winner. His ''American Mass'' has given a forward thrust to his compositional career, and this anthem falls right into line.

Difficulty: Medium
Listen
Selected for Ron Kean's multicultural series, this Serbian piece is a partner song with P1372 AJDE JANO. Even as the music shifts from F minor to major and back again, the ethnic modality transports you to Serbia. A more tender love song than its partner piece, they program perfectly together. For high school or college choirs.

Wondrous Love
Composer: William Walker's Southern Harmony, Ron Kean
Arranger: Ron Kean
Author/Lyricist: American Folk Hymn
Voicing: SATB
Season: Easter
Released: October 2018
Difficulty: Medium Advanced
Listen
A sense of wonder permeates the opening, clearly in awe of God's magnificence. The text is familiar but the tune is new, the choir accompanied by piano alone. Then, as the text deepens, the ''Wondrous Love'' Southern Harmony tune emerges with the brass. An SSA canon verse is absolutely captivating. And finally the entire piece opens up into a majestic celebration to a triumphant Easter finish. Medium in difficulty for Easter morning worship.

THE JOURNEY OF HARRIET TUBMAN
Composer: Hannah Kean
Voicing: Multi-Media
Released: January 2018
This 5-movement, multi-media choral drama honors one of the great heroes of the emancipation era. The journey of those who sacrificed becomes a story we can relive and honor. Dr. Kean's goal was to compose and arrange original music and traditional spirituals in a style that is evocative of the enslaved Africans' frame of mind. The spirituals are accompanied with kalimba (thumb piano) to honor the sub-Saharan African musical tradition of connecting with ancestors and with the marimba to sound like the west African balafon. This is a work that will move an audience to tears. (Medium to Advanced)
“The Journey of Harriet Tubman” has generated a much needed discussion of African American enslavement and and cultural appropriation. The composer has dedicated half of his royalties from this work to ''The Equal Justice Initiative,'' a private, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that is committed to ending mass incarceration and excessive punishment in the United States, to challenging racial and economic injustice, and to protecting basic human rights for the most vulnerable people in American society.
