SSATB score with soloist, rap, optional children's choir. The text is based on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's speech "Break The Silence," when he spoke out against the Vietnam War. The music reflects the turbulence felt during that time, and the text connects it to today's social situations, suggesting that a first step is to find a way into the listening.

Difficulty: Medium to Hard. High School and up.

SSAATTB. Starting out dissonant and wandering, the music flows with the text to create a coming-together, as the chords start to emerge, so does the analogy. "For I am the other half of 'we'" is a great concept for social justice-themed concerts - no matter what sort of conflict we are in with someone else, we are in relationship and can start there.

Difficulty: Medium to Hard

SATB, optional divisi. A song that nods to pop structure and chordal movement with a simple message of oneness. We are all part of the human race and "together we can win the human race."

Difficulty: Easy to Medium.

SSATB. A short piece, good for transitions and openings. Using only vocal sounds that start closed ("oooh") and slowly open to "ah" then "hi" makes this piece an easy piece to memorize and play with.

Difficulty: Easy.
