Notes

I met a violist at a Worcester gig who told me that “I Rise” by Maya Angelou was her favorite poem. I was moved by its power and so wrote this, in four sections, reminiscent of a Bach Suite.

I’ve made this cello adaptation from the original viola version.

The section titles are related to sections of  the poem:

  1. Rising from the dust
  2. Rising like the tides
  3. Rising in the face of your dismay
  4. Rising from dust to dreams

Part of the Poetry-Inspired Music collection

Listen

Listen to an MP3 audio file of the viola version, created with virtual orchestra sounds, including East West Quantum Leap and Native Instruments Kontakt 3. It is not as warm or expressive as a live player, of course.
