Black History- Abraham Lincoln

Lincoln was our greatest president in my opinion. He turned the tide of the most vile injustice of slavery and started the long journey to equality for African-Americans.

David Morneau says: "what i chose to do was examine the
reinterpretation of black culture in america. all american popular music
is ultimately rooted in african-american forms, particularly the blues.
this piece takes a piano composition i wrote a while ago in a blues
style, and remixes it to something less vernacular. it's my way of
honoring the countless black musicians and artists whose creative spirit
still resounds in our culture today."
