Remembering Home
Two profound songs of exile are paired in this moving anthem: the Latin text of Psalm 137, "Super flumina Babylonis," which is the Israelites' lament of their exile in Babylon, and the slavery-era spiritual Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child. Set in F minor, with poignant dissonances in the accompaniment that mirror the anguish of the lyrics, this will be especially appropriate during any season or service of lament with people who have suffered devastation, displacement, persecution, or oppression. Easily learned, hard to forget.
