Digital Booklet
|
Lifeline: Music of the Underground Railroad celebrates spirituals from the Civil War era and before. Escape routes to the North were nicknamed “The Underground Railroad,” and Tubman was one of its most celebrated “conductors.” As she is reported to have said, “I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.” This program celebrates some of the spirituals that were adopted by the Underground Railroad and served as memory aides and morale boosters for escaping slaves. In addition to their religious content, these spirituals contained hidden clues and navigational instructions and are therefore known as code songs. Harriet Tubman herself was reputed to use "Wade in the Water" to remind escaping slaves where they should walk in rivers and streams to avoid the scent hounds of the slave catchers.
Michelle Mayne-Graves and her Lifeline Quartet speak truth with their singing. Michelle’s magical arrangements honor Harriet Tubman and the countless unnamed heroes who helped slaves flee the South to find freedom in the Northern States and Canada.
