- I_Have_a_Dream_(oratorio) abstract "I Have a Dream is an oratorio by James Furman written in tribute to the composer's friend, Martin Luther King, Jr., to whose memory it is dedicated. The title of the work is derived from the "I Have a Dream" speech that King made in Washington, D.C., during the August 1963 civil rights march, and the libretto is based on statements and writings by King.Furman described I Have a Dream as ³an oratorio in symphonic form which conveys some of the basic concerns of today¹s world. These concerns are dramatized within a thirty-five minute musical journey focusing upon human dignity, love, hate, the tragedy of war, peace, beauty, poverty, and the hope for genuine freedom.² The composer points out that ³each group, representing a segment of society, speaks as an individual and in conjunction with other groups.²The work is in three parts. The musical style is varied, ranging from jungle rhythms to passages of contemporary serial and rock music. Igbu phrases are chanted in the final section of Part I and combined with English words in the Coda of Part III. The climax of Part III is an elaborate interweaving of hymns, spirituals, and patriotic songs. Despite its variety in mood and orchestration, the composer says that he aimed at an overall effect of childlike simplicity and innocence.I Have a Dream was commissioned by the Greenwich Choral Society in 1970 to commemorate its 45th anniversary. The Greenwich, CT premiere of the first version was April 19, 1970, performed by the Greenwich Choral Society, James Furman, conductor. The second performance was also in 1970. by the Symphony of the New World. The performance was held at Lincoln Center in New York City, conducted by Benjamin Steinberg.After this, the score was considerably revised. The new version had its world premiere on January 22 and 23, 1971 (the composer's birthday) with the CSO in Cincinnati, Ohio.Neither version (1970 or 1971) was ever published. After the composer's death in 1989, the 1971 score and parts were sent to Morgan State University as stipulated in his will. A small group of Furman's students have been working to locate the score from Morgan State so the piece can be performed once again, but efforts have been unsuccessful. If you have any information that can help to accomplish this, please visit the website dedicated to James Furman's memory and email the webmaster.".
