IN THIS LESSON

Discover how music can be a powerful vehicle for storytelling, whether it be shining a light on the past or a way for a composer to shine a light on their personal stories and hope for the future.

In this lesson, you'll hear the quartet perform Sam Cooke's civil rights anthem, A Change is Gonna Come, arranged by Joel Thompson.

Listen to how music can reflect the times that the composer lived in and carry a relevant message that audiences can resonate with today.
