DREAMS, for SATB Choir by Innocent Okechukwu

(Text by Langston Hughes)

Dreams was commissioned by

The First Parish in Bedford, Unitarian Universalist, Massachusetts.

At the invitation of their music director, Brad Connor, who approached me to
create a new work for the church’s vibrant choral program. From our earliest conversations,
we agreed that the piece should be rooted in poetry that speaks to hope, perseverance, and
the shared human spirit. We chose the celebrated poem - Dreams, by Langston Hughes, whose
words have inspired generations with their clarity and power:

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

This is the first try by this enthusiasts (Church Choir). There would be another performance in May. Apparently with a better recording.

So dear friends, hold fast to dreams !! And never let your dreams die.
