The primary thematic material is attributed to music from the Civil Rights era, which was the vehicle that helped shepherd many protests toward the cause of equal rights for Black Americans. The first movement is a fantasia on \u003cem\u003eKeep Your Eyes on the Prize\u003c\/em\u003e , which is derived from the gospel hymn Keep Your Hand on the Plow. The mixed meters and extended phrases give the listener the sense of being on a ride in which they must grab on to something to stay in place. The second movement, \u003cem\u003eTake My Hand Precious Lord,\u003c\/em\u003e is a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His favorite hymn, it was sung at King's funeral by gospel singer Mahlia Jackson. The last movement, \u003cem\u003eEgo Trippin,'\u003c\/em\u003e speaks to the power of believing in one's self. Songs from the Civil Rights era that are included in this movement are, \u003cem\u003eOh Freedom, We Shall Overcome\u003c\/em\u003e (with slightly altered, updated text), \u003cem\u003eWe Shall Not Be Moved,\u003c\/em\u003e and culminated in James Weldon Johnson's \u003cem\u003eLift Every Voice and Sing\u003c\/em\u003e just after the choir shouts, \"No Justice, No Peace!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrchestral instrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3.2.0\/4.2.2.1\/timp.3 perc\/str\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":42329045958735,"sku":"112-021-FS","price":100.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vocal Score","offer_id":42329046286415,"sku":"112-021-PV","price":17.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/e356ee74839ec44efe6a5bbd3ca62086.png?v=1753018221","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/geter-the-justice-symphony-just-theory","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
