The companion piece to the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater tribute A Musical Retrospective on 40 Years of Dance,
Revelations focuses on the spirituals, song sermons and holy blues that inspired
Ailey to compose modern dances like his signature work,
Revelations. The stories of struggle and triumph within the music reflect the strong emotional component of
Ailey's work, and fans of gospel and dance alike will find that
Revelations has much to offer. ~ Heather Phares
