  • We Shall Not Be Moved/No Nos Moveran
    Excerpt • Temple University Press Introduction his is the improbable story of a simple song and its long and complicated journey across oceans and continents. And I am an T improbable person to be telling it, so let me explain how I came to write this book. I grew up in a white, middle-class home in a white, middle-class neighborhood in the middle of the United States a bit after the middle of the twentieth century. My parents loved music but weren’t musicians, and, like most middle-class families in the middle of the country at that time, we didn’t own a lot of records or listen to a lot of recorded music in the house when I was young. There was, however, one record we owned that captured my imagination and that I listened to on the turntable again and again. It was by the folk music trio Peter, Paul, and Mary. My favorite song on the record was “If I Had a Hammer,” whose driving rhythm in their arrangement made me want to learn to play the guitar. When I was eight years old, my father retrieved for me an old “Stella” guitar that he had given away to a friend after giving up on learning to play it himself. My parents signed me up for group guitar lessons at the local YMCA, and Note: The contents of this book are accompanied by a website containing numerous photographs, videos, and other supplementary materials that can be accessed at http://gotu.us/nonosmoveran. 2 \ Introduction Excerpt • Temple University Press “If I Had a Hammer” was one of the first songs I learned how to play.

  • READINGS by John Brown and Malcolm X First Reading
    READINGS by John Brown and Malcolm X First Reading: Abolitionist John Brown’s Last Address, to a courtroom in in Charleston, ​ WV. “I have, may it please the Court, a few words to say. In the first place, I deny everything but what I have all along admitted, the design on my part to free the slaves. I intended certainly to have made a clean thing of that matter, as I did last winter, when I went into Missouri and there took slaves without the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again, on a larger scale. That was all I intended... I have another objection; and that is, it is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I interfered in the manner which I admit...had I so interfered in behalf of the rich, the powerful, the intelligent, the so-called great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father, mother, brother, sister, wife, or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what I have in this interference, it would have been all right; and every man in this court would have deemed it an act worthy of reward rather than punishment. This court acknowledges, as I suppose, the validity of the law of God. I see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible, or at least the New Testament…. It teaches me... to "remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them." I endeavored to act up to that instruction.

  • A Conductor's Guide to Dan Locklair's Since Dawn : a Tone
    A CONDUCTOR’S GUIDE TO DAN LOCKLAIR’S SINCE DAWN: A Tone Poem for Narrator, Chorus and Orchestra (1995) D.M.A. DOCUMENT Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Neal Russell Graduate Program in Music The Ohio State University 2013 D.M.A. Document Committee: Dr. Robert Ward, Advisor/Chair; Dr. Charles Atkinson; Dr. Timothy Gerber; and Dr. Russel Mikkelson Copyright by Matthew Neal Russell 2013 ! ! Abstract Since Dawn: A Tone Poem for Narrator, Chorus and Orchestra (1995) is a composition by North Carolina-based composer Dan Locklair that musically treats Maya Angelou’s 1993 inaugural poem “On the Pulse of Morning.” Since Dawn was commissioned by Wake Forest University for their 1996-1997 Year of the Arts and first performed in September 1996 by the combined choirs of Wake Forest University and The Winston-Salem Piedmont Triad Symphony with Dr. Angelou as narrator. The work has not been heard since, nor has any scholarship regarding the work been completed. This research study and conductor’s guide sheds light on and provides both historical and musical contexts regarding this unique choral/orchestral masterwork. Chapter One is as an introduction that sets composer Dan Locklair and his secular choral output against the backdrop of an American choral style while also providing a brief biography of the composer. It also provides a background, need and purpose of the study alongside information regarding Since Dawn; general compositional influences and traits related to the music of Dan Locklair are also included.
