We Are is a dynamic and vibrant setting of The human family, a powerful poem by American poet Maya Angelou. The poet's message that we are more alike than we are unalike is carried through the piece by a compelling rhythmic figure, and the a cappella textures and interplay between voices create an infectious energy. The rich texture of the double choir scoring allows the two groups of singers to work together to create the sense of unity and common purpose the poem addresses.
