Mama Who Bore Me (https://youtu.be/7yhIxX-y6Z0?si=zBEGCVOI43axoWJp) is from Coming-of-Age Rock musical “Spring Awakening” based on the 1891 German play of the same name. It was composed by Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter Duncan Sheik (yes, the same guy who wrote “Barely Breathing” (https://youtu.be/A-oh-tP6RvA?si=DXY2BzYEHpVniluC) !) A lullaby, the music contrasts with the lyrics about a young teenager’s frustration at being unprepared for harsh realities of the world

“Credo” (https://youtu.be/NInltwWFL74?si=gxC_TNWxYiEB5y9-) is a 7-part cantata written in 1967 set to the 1904 W. E. B. Du Bois' prose poem of the same name. It’s notable for its blending of Western classical and N*gro Spiritual traditions. Each of the movements in “Credo” begins with a statement of belief and then goes on to center black historical figures and settings in a way that marries both ancestry with modern times (extra images added for alttext)

So… yeah, It’s Pianist, composer and conductor André Previn’s (April 6, 1929 – February 28, 2019) birthday today so here he is with Canadian Jazz pianist and composer Oscar Peterson (August 15, 1925 – December 23, 2007) on Previn’s PBS show “Previn and the Pittsburgh”. They do a little chatting and a casually mindblowing improvised Jazz duet (https://youtu.be/51fUTDWhXys?si=FM_bQVQeoUelc8eh)
