| Description |
"The Glorious Privilege of Being" was written in 2000 by Douglas Hill for SATB chorus. This excellent work was composed featuring the poetry of John G. Neihardt (1881-1973). Mr. Neihardt was designated the "Poet Laureate" of Nebraska in 1921 and was later named Prairie Poet Laureate of America in 1968. He is best remembered as an authority on the customs and traditions of the Sioux Indians as demonstrated through his books: Black Elk Speaks and A Cycle of the West. The poem upon which this composition is based is entitled "April Theology" from Lyric and Dramatic Poems. It is a remarkable text because of its joyous and youthful celebration of life. $2.25 per octavo. |
