Grace Episcopal Church, Madison, NJ
Solo: Matthew Onigman

MLK is the last track on U2’s The Unforgettable Fire, and like another track on the set, “Pride (In The Name Of Love),” the song is about Martin Luther King, Jr. As in “Pride,” Martin Luther King is not mentioned by name in the lyrics, but using his initials as the title of this song made it clear that the song was about him and his ideals. This became a live favorite for U2, which was played on most stops of both their Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree tours, and revived in 2009 for their 360° tour. Lights in the venues were typically dimmed for the song.
Robert “Bob” Chilcott is a British choral composer, conductor, and singer based in Oxford, England. He sang in the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, both as a boy and as a university student. In 1985, he joined the King's Singers, singing tenor for 12 years. Chilcott is well known for his compositions for children’s choirs, and larger works as well. He has worked with choirs all around the globe, and is Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Singers. This arrangement was written for the King’s Singers.
