I have long had the habit of working to music. Today as I worked on my syllabi and checked corrections to a chapter I’ve contributed to a forthcoming book, I have been listening to an album featuring the music of Joseph Schwantner, with Evelyn Glennie as soloist.
The final track is a piece called “New Morning For The World“, with the subtitle “Daybreak of Freedom”. The piece features a narrator reciting words from speeches by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The whole album is quite wonderful, and you can listen to it online here.
