Piece Description
"EVERY VOICE AND SING!" is hosted by NPR's MICHELE NORRIS. It looks at the fascinating and little-known history of the choral music and choirs preserved primarily by historically Black colleges and universities. The five-part series of stand-alone hours covers from the pre-Civil War period to the present. Episode One: "Every Voice: The Early Legends." This episode explores the founding and growth of the Black colleges, and the birth and development of their choirs. E.g., Fisk, Hampton, Morehouse and Wilberforce. We look at how those early directors and their touring choirs built a loyal following with a repertoire of spirituals, jubilees, and classical music, and see what vital roles women like Ella Shepherd and others played in the establishment of these Groups and Colleges.

Review of Every Voice And Sing! "The Early Legends"
Narrated by NPR's Michelle Norris, Every Voice & Sing showcases the history of choral music and choirs at historically Black Colleges and Universities. It's a carefully and considered production that has a slightly slow pace, but is rich in information and music, and would be great on Sunday mornings . Perfect for Black History month.
