MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER

From parties to protests to prayer, music is a powerful catalyst for celebration, for change, and for a sense of community. Through making music together, we become bigger than ourselves. Whether singing with our families and friends or with thousands of strangers in an arena, music transforms lives, engages individuals, and connects local and global communities. The Social Power of Music chronicles the vivid, impassioned, and myriad ways in which music binds, incites, memorializes, and moves groups of people. This richly illustrated 124-page book, with 80+ tracks on 4 CDs, invites listeners into musical practices, episodes, and movements throughout the U.S. and beyond. These songs of struggle, devotion, celebration, and migration remind us that music has the potential to change our world.

Fannie Lou Hamer - I Woke Up This Morning

Woody Guthrie - This Land is Your Land

Wir sind das Bauvolk der kommenden Welt,
wir sind der Sämann, die Saat und das Feld.
Wir sind die Schnitter der kommenden Mahd,
wir sind die Zukunft und wir sind die Tat.

So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien. 

Herrn der Fabriken, ihr Herren der Welt,
endlich wird eure Herrschaft gefällt.
Wir, die Armee, die die Zukunft erschafft,
sprengen der Fesseln engende Haft.

So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien. 

Wie auch die Lüge uns schmähend umkreist,
alles besiegend erhebt sich der Geist.
Kerker und Eisen zerbricht seine Macht,
wenn wir uns rüsten zur letzten Schlacht.

2x
So flieg, du flammende, du rote Fahne, 
voran dem Wege, den wir ziehn. 
Wir sind der Zukunft getreue Kämpfer, 
wir sind die Arbeiter von Wien.
