(My apologies for these notes coming out a week later than the show! I’ve been fighting off lingering bronchitis, so even my focus for typing has been limited.)
This week’s theme was a continuation of the theme on the first Monday of the Month: Black History Month pt. 2. I wanted to bring even more selections from different times and genres than I had before, starting with H. T. Burleigh, Dvorak’s inspiring pupil, singing his own arrangement of a spiritual, then afterward leaning heavily into the 20th century. I hope you enjoyed it, and if you wish to again, here is the playlist!
