The oratorio premiered on a national NBC Radio broadcast in 1937, but was cut off well short of its conclusion. For Sneed, the Dett oratorio “encapsulates and it exudes almost every possible musical idiom, every possible rhythm, the textures, the color, the timbre.” He expressed hope that the piece will become “a normal part of the canon of orchestral music, the canon of choral music, and, of course, of the genre of oratorio.”
