Paul Robeson's Voices

Beschreibung

Paul Robeson's Voices is a meditation on Robeson's singing, a study of the artist's life in song. Music historian Grant Olwage examines Robeson's voice as it exists in two broad and intersecting domains: as sound object and sounding gesture, specifically how it was fashioned in the contexts of singing practices, in recital, concert, and recorded performance, and as subject of identification. Combining deep archival research with musicological theory, this book is a study of voice as central to Robeson's sense of self and his politics.
