I Was Love (Jake Runestad 2022) - University Singers

Commissioned by the Tuks Camerata of South Africa (Michael Barrett, conductor) and Barnsley Youth Choir of England (Mat Wright, conductor) for a joint concert in England in the summer of 2022. Text adapted from the poem Revery by Fenton Johnson, a Chicago-born African American poet, essayist, author of short stories, editor, and educator considered a forerunner of the Harlem Renaissance. An uplifting piece that symbolizes the unifying power of music and draws on several musical styles, including traditional choral, American pop ballad, and gospel music. The vocal trio improvisations in this performance were developed by the student soli and the extended improv section was done with approval from ‪@JakeRunestad‬ Performers: ‪@montclair_CALI‬ University Singers (70-voice choir) Benjamin Silvesti, tenor soloist Omar Abdallah, Suriya Ali-Crowe, Arianna Joseph, improv. trio Taylor Goodson, drum kit Jake McCreery, electric bass Steven W.
