Vocal Solo (High voice and piano) - Moderate
Composer's Note: For me, "Oath Taking" reflects not only Adisa's words, but also the character of Carol Harris, the singer who commissioned the song - both her art and life are deeply informed by precise communication, principled action, and a passionate engagement with truth. Range: high voice (d'-f#").
