Commissioned and premiered by Network for New Music on April 4, 2014 at Temple University in Philadelphia, this small piece for four players is part realization, part interpretation, and part reflection on We Shall Overcome, the well-known gospel song, protest song, and anthem of the American Civil Rights movement.
