Moses Hogan was born in New Orleans on March 13, 1957. His contemporary choral setting of spirituals and other works are unparalleled. He has earned an international reputation as one of America’s most gifted pianists, conductors and arrangers. It is no wonder his works have been performed by some of our leading choral organizations, including the Boy’s Choir of Harlem.
We lift up these arrangements this morning in celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King one of this generation’s greatest advocates of equality of God’s people. We sing these pieces in praise of a God who knew no difference between race and creed and challenged us from the beginning of time to do the same.
