Title A name given to the resource Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes Description An account of the resource Freedmen honors the legacy of Native Americans and former African slaves (adopted into Native American tribal membership through emancipation or marriage), who traversed the Trail of Tears. African-American descendants with Native American ancestry were later cast out of the government’s National Registry, denying their right for land and other benefits. Still, they fight for their rights even today. The history of what is referred to as the Five Civilized tribes (the Chickasaw, Cherokee, Creek, Seminole and Choctaw nations) and their relationship with the Freedmen resonates within me as it is a true merging of cultures, sometimes clashing with aggression, but more than often melding into a soulful exchange.

Title A name given to the resource Umoja Description An account of the resource In its original form, Umoja, the Swahili word for Unity and the first principle of the African Dispora holiday Kwanzaa, was compose a simple song for women's choir. It embodied a sense of 'tribal unity', through the feel of a drum circle, the sharing of history through traditional “call and response” form and the repetition of a memorable sing-song melody. It was rearranged into woodwind quintet form during the genesis of Coleman’s chamber music ensemble, Imani Winds, with the intent of providing an anthem that celebrated the diverse heritages of the ensemble itself. Almost two decades later from the original, the orchestral version brings an expansion and sophistication to the short and sweet melody, beginning with sustained ethereal passages that float and shift from a bowed vibraphone, supporting the introduction of the melody by solo violin. Here the melody is a sweetly singing in its simplest form with an earnest reminiscent of Appalachian style music. From there, the melody dances and weaves throughout the instrument families, interrupted by dissonant viewpoints led by the brass and percussion sections, which represent the clash of injustices, racism and hate that threatens to gain a foothold in the world today. Spiky textures turn into an aggressive exchange between upper woodwinds and percussion, before a return to the melody as a gentle reminder of kindness and humanity. Through the brass led ensemble tutti, the journey ends with a bold call of unity that harkens back to the original anthem. Umoja has seen the seen the creation of many versions, that are like siblings to one another, similar in many ways, but each with a unique voice that is informed by Coleman’s ever evolving creativity and perspective. ​ “This version honors the simple melody that ever was, but is now a full exploration into the meaning of freedom and unity. Now more than ever, Umoja has to ring as a strong and beautiful anthem for the world we live in today.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Coleman, Valerie Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://www.vcolemanmusic.com/umoja-anthem-of-unity.html">https://www.vcolemanmusic.com/umoja-anthem-of-unity.html</a> Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource 10-20 minutes Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 2000- Musical Work / Ouvrage musical Instrumentation flute / flûte piano Ensemble Type duo Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Wish Sonatine Description An account of the resource Dedication: To my friends Elizabeth Crone and Richard Masters Commissioned by Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, with support from Elizabeth Crone and Dr. Richard Masters with The College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Diversity Grant. Valerie Coleman’s first work for flute and piano, Wish, was inspired by a poem of the same name. Wish is a dramatic tone poem for flutist and pianist alike, depicting the “Middle Passage” in which Africans were trafficked across the Atlantic by tall ship to be sold into slavery.

Title A name given to the resource Elegy Description An account of the resource “I lay down in my grave and watch my children grow” is the first line of Maya Angelou’s poem, Elegy. Elegy for flute solo and ensemble, is a single movement tour de force inspired by this epic poem, written for Alexa Still and Uptown Flutes, and premiered at the 2015 National Flute Association Convention. The beginning is slow and cadenza like, featuring a cacophony of virtuoso individual rips, trills and wails within the flute ensemble, while the solo line soars above it all with a melody reminiscent of traditional spirituals. The soulful revival-like beginning quickly shifts into a spirited call and response, followed by a infectious dance section (representing young generations) amid layers of accompanying African rhythms, ending with a highly charged recapitulation. The result is a captivating, soul stirring journey.
