Quiet Revolutionary by Rosephanye Powell (Gentry Publications JG2629) Sanders Theater, Harvard University *World Premiere I. Quiet Revolutionary II. Blow the Trumpet III. Song in a Strange Landa Harvard University Choirs & The Aeolians of Oakwood University Rosephanye Powell composer-conductor Justin Blackwell, pianist This work honors the life of Dr. Eileen Southern who authored the first scholarly text on Black music in the United States (The Music of Black Americans: A History) which birthed Black music studies at universities nationally. In celebration of Dr. Southern, Dr. Samuel A. Floyd, Jr., respected author and founder of the Center for Black Music Research at Columbia College, titled an essay “Eileen Jackson Southern: Quiet Revolutionary.” In it, Floyd stated “Southern’s revolution is one of quiet, scholarly insurgency—the overturning of faulty assumptions and ideas about Black music and Black musicians and their place and role in the evolution of American culture. Thus, Dr. Powell titled this work and its first movement, "Quiet Revolutionary" to depict her life, character and work.
