Composer: Gwyneth Walker (1947-) Instrumentation (this edition): Piano Reduction, TTBB Choir Originally for: SATB Choir, Chamber Orchestra Work: There Is a Way to Glory (2006) Binding: Work Language: English Pages: None Description The text for this poem is taken from a series of Freedom Songs which Thomas Merton (1915–1968) wrote in 1966. These poems were created in response to a special request in connection with the Christian non-violent movement for civil rights. Faith, equality, and peace are unifying themes in these poems. There Is a Way to Glory is a triumphant march to glory, as expressed by the lyrics: There is a way to glory. Love is this way to glory. Riding on to Sion, where the Lord of Peace . . . rules in glory. The music is placed in a 2/2 marching meter, and the oscillating pitches on the word "glory" intend to reflect a trembling of ecstasy on the journey to heaven.
