Henry Clay Work (1832-1884) "Babylon is Fallen" from "Our National War Songs" (1884) A tribute to a magnificent tune and a composer not often heard. Performer: Kyle Hovatter http://kylehovatter.com
very cool choice of repertoire - the movie Glory comes to mind - also the work of the great sculptor Augustus St. Gaudens (the Col. Shaw memorial). I'm sure this music will seep into your own fine compositions Kyle - someday and in some way....
@RumMyers he's was a composer during the Civil war, he wrote around 75 songs, this song (with the lyrics) is about the point of view of a black soldier fighter for the north
Beautiful playing, Kyle,
a spirited, engaging piece,
blended in masterful brushstrokes!
