Roland Hayes: Pivotal Musician in American History,
By Alan R DeMattia (Novelty, Ohio USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Favorite Spirituals: 30 Songs for Voice and Piano (Sheet music)
Roland Hayes was a courageous pioneer in a difficult time in history. He experienced a moment similar to Jesse Owens' in the 1936 Olympics -- but about 15 years before. To have this book of his arrangements of what he called Aframerican songs is a significant part of an understanding of Hayes and his work.
