Thank you for the robust and engaging class on protest music! I loved hearing your comments, including from the woman from Lithuania who talked about walking into the streets of Vilnius with just her passport and a piece of bread in her pockets, joining throngs of people lifting their voices for democracy. The "Singing Revolution" was a powerful moment in history. Here are links to several videos we watched in class. Haydn's "Farewell" Symphony, 1775. Sinfonia Rotterdam, Conrad van Alphen, conductor. Start at minute 22:00. "Go Down Moses," c. 1850, with Paul Robeson. "Va, Pensiero" from "Nabucco," 1841, by Giuseppe Verdi. "Strange Fruit," 1939, Billie Holiday "Dialogues of the Carmelites," 1956, by Francis Poulenc. "Quiet," 2017, by MILCK
