About this deal
Description
Eventually the "Wobblies" won the public's sympathy and helped overturn the ruling that made public protest illegal, in no small part through their music. This collection, performed by the Brass Band of Columbus together with New York Democratic Socialist choir Sing in Solidarity, features songs from the IWW's Little Red Songbook, including those composed by the legendary Joe Hill, a surreal piece by the eclectic classical composer Charles Ives, as well as old Christian hymns paired with satirical lyrics. Description There is still power in a union and its songs. Fighting back, J. 1 - Songs of the IWW and the Salvation Army resurrects the IWW's forgotten brass band repertoire. It's a landmark revival of a forgotten thread of protest music and what conductor and project creator Chris David Westover-Munoz says he hopes will renew the labor singing tradition. In response, the companies hired the local Salvation Army band (nicknamed "starvation" by the workers) to drown out their protests. Starvation Army: Band Music No. There is still power in a union and its songs.
