Happy to join the Unsung Collective for it's second collaboration with Bethany Collins on in a series of performances of the Battle Hymn of the Republic— A Hymnal.

“Written by the abolitionist Julia Ward Howe in 1861, The Battle Hymn of the Republic is perhaps the most familiar early American contrafacta, a musical term referring to a song in which the melody remains constant while the lyrics are rewritten over time. Each re-writing in support of a passionately held cause—from revolution, suffrage, temperance and Indigenous sovereignty, to the Confederacy and abolition—articulates an often contradictory version of what it means to be American.”— BrynMawr.Edu
