Margaret Walker's text leaps off the musical page as words crying to be sung. “My grandmothers were strong. They followed plows and bent to toil.” This was not frailty - this was determined womanhood and is reflected in the bluesy organic framework of the piece. With percussion.

As an alto, I LOVE this song
I talked with Andrea about the low key and she insisted that the group for whom she was writing it, wanted it set low. I told her that for a teenaged choir, we took it up a minor third; it worked brilliantly and Andrea said - GREAT! I have no compunction about changing the key if it suits the choir, makes it better for the singers technically, and keeps the timbre of the piece appropriate. Start on middle C (C4) and hear how the sops soar up to F5 - gorgeous!
we get to sing this and the alto 2 part is lovely oh my god
This is definitely an alto powerhouse song! I loved singing it!
Everyone in my choir hates this song😂 i absolutely love it
We are doing this song at my high school with the same key. I'm an alto and absolutely love the key of this.
My Granddaughter sang this with Senior choir. It is Beautiful.
SO EXCITED TO SING THIS IN CHOIR THIS YEAR.
I haven’t listened to this since I was in 8th grade when we did this in choir and now it was in my recommended 2 years later
My choir is singing this at Femfest (a girls-only concert), and this is an amazing song! Us altos never have songs that we can sing without straining our voices, but this is the first!
I've had the privilege of skype calling Andrea Ramsey with my chorale class. We are performing her song "A Letter From A Girl To The World" and it's an absolutely beautiful song. She's an amazing person, singer, and composer, and I'm grateful that I have the experience of singing one of her pieces in concert as well as getting a chance to sing it for her as well and having her tell us what she wanted from that piece as well as giving us pointers. Amazingly talented and a very amazing person overall.
we’re doing this song at my school and i’m a soprano two and i absolutely love it
singing this in choir at the moment and im so exited to perform it at our concert :D its a beautiful song and the drum and sand blocks make it soooo much better
we are singing this Saturday..... i LOVES IT
We did this at my school one time and I was one of the sopranos
We're singing this in my choir, but even the soprano one part is too low for me...
This week we are doing this song an my whole choir loves it I most definitely love it 🤎
Singing sop2 for MPA this year on march 5 and im in LOVE with this piece
i am a second soprano singing this with my high school choir!! love it!
I loved singing this in my choir days, sang it on the year I graduated as well. May plan to sing this in or after the funeral of my grandma when it inevitably comes by.
