Hatboro-Horsham High School Choirs held a Black History Month virtual concert last month to recognize and celebrate American choral composers of color.
The concert featured selections sung by the Concert Choir, Madrigals and Women’s Chamber and the KV Singers from Keith Valley Middle School. Each choir performed two selections, one traditional spiritual or gospel piece and one non-idiomatic work, meaning that it is not tied to a specific cultural genre.
The choirs also performed two songs all together that were iconic to the Civil Rights movement. “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” was the concert’s opening performance and is also known as the “African American National Anthem.”
