The combination of poetry and music is as old as the human species.  They are twins, born of the human spirit.  The profoundest voice of almost every culture we know of, is given form in music and poetry.

In Alabama, Joel Futterman and Gregory Foster have tapped into this ancient vein, and found something fresh.  At the center of this group of compositions stands Alabama Exequy, a long poem whose theme gives title to the whole work.  The poem enacts a ritual grief: shock, anguish, fury, the vision of justice, and the hope of peace.
