And finally, “The N*gro Speaks of Rivers” (https://youtu.be/kiCqOzabU6A?si=MC1K7YwmKdn7yIeK) performed by the greatest coloratura contralto Marian Anderson. This 1941 composition is based on the poem “The N*gro Speaks of Rivers” by Margaret Bonds’ muse, co-conspirator and close friend Langston Hughes, who she met in the late 1930s after she graduated from college where she fell in love with his writing.

"Erbarme dich, mein Gott, um meiner Zaehren willen."
"Have mercy on me, my God, for my tears' sake."
Marian Anderson (1897-1993), singing JS Bach's "Erbarme dich mein Gott" in 1939 in front of the Lincoln Memorial, perhaps the best ever performance of this most painful and most loving of all of Bach's arias, and also the most political of them all.
Anderson was black, and she was prevented from performing at Constitution Hall. Eleanor Roosevelt helped letting her perform at the Lincoln Memorial. (From Wikipedia.)
What a voice.
This song is Bach's deepest plea for mercy, of all his songs, and the warmth of Marian Anderson's voice makes us experience it fully. So fiitting to see the connection to Black Liberation.

"Marian Anderson," Laura Wheeler Waring, 1944.
Waring (1887-1948) came from an educated Black family (her father was a Presbyterian minister) and studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. She was the first Black woman to win the Cresson Memorial Scholarship which enabled her to travel to Paris. There she was able to exhibit her work and win awards and acclaim.
She returned to the US and became involved in the Harlem Renaissance, and was commissioned to do a series of portraits of prominent Black Americans, like this one.
Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was a legendary contralto. She's famous for being banned from performing at DAR Constitution Hall in 1939; Eleanor Roosevelt helped arrange for Anderson to give an open-air concert at Lincoln Memorial on Easter Sunday instead, which was heard by millions of radio listeners. Anderson was the first Black woman to perform with the Metropolitan Opera, and became an icon of the Civil Rights movement. She was also the first-ever winner of the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963.
So, go look up Waring's paintings, and listen to Anderson's music! Two great legacies to investigate!
From the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC.

Via @waltman, some good #ClassicalMusic news from #Philly. “#MarianAnderson Hall” sounds so much nicer than “#Verizon Hall.”
