Programme Note
1. "a time comes when silence is betrayal..."
2. "we were taking the black young men..."
3. "they wander into the towns... "
4. "a voice to the voiceless..."
5. "each day the war goes on..."
6. "we still have a choice today..."
The music of Concerning King is based on a spectral plotting of excerpts from Martin Luther King's speech Beyond Vietnam — a Time to Break Silence, delivered 4 April 1967 at a meeting of Clergy and Laity Concerned at Riverside Church in New York City.
