The Gift to Sing..........Text - James Weldon Johnson, Music - Marques L.A. Garrett
James Weldon Johnson
1871 –1938
Sometimes the mist overhangs my path,
And blackening clouds about me cling;
But, oh, I have a magic way
To turn the gloom to cheerful day--
      I softly sing.
And if the way grows darker still,
Shadowed by Sorrow’s somber wing,
With glad defiance in my throat,
I pierce the darkness with a note,
       And sing, and sing.
I brood not over the broken past,
Nor dread whatever time may bring;
No nights are dark, no days are long,
While in my heart there swells a song,
       And I can sing.
Thy Little Ones..........Prospect - Southern Harmony, arr. J. Edmund Hughes & Brian Edward Galante
This arrangement of Prospect (Southern Harmony) is dedicated to the memory of young Maari Dickerson, who lost her courageous fight with cancer in  August 2013. Maari's parents, David and Margie, are active musicians in the Puget Sound area, and this is but one way we offered our support during their time of grief. As we all struggled with what to say, we sought to find in music a way to express our sympathy, honor Maari's memory, and assist the Dickersons with the huge medical expenses incurred during Maari's illness. Royalties from the salve of this octavo will continue to be donated to programs that assist families fighting childhood cancer.  -Hughes & Galante
