The Time of Our Singing (2003) is a novel by American writer Richard Powers.

It tells the story of two brothers, Jonah and Joseph Strom, who are involved in music, dealing heavily with issues of prejudice.

The story goes back and forth between the generations, describing the unusual coupling of a German-Jewish physicist (David) who has lost his family in the Holocaust and a black woman from Philadelphia (Delia), both of whom have strong musical backgrounds.

This is a complex epic novel juxtaposing historical events throughout most of the 20th century, depicting racism and the development of civil rights efforts and the author's love and knowledge of music and physics.

Powers makes many references to specific composers, musicians and singers in the novel.
