680160685479. Narrative
of the Life of Frederick
Douglass, an American
Slave
(1845).
“Powe
rful†would be an
understatement in
describing both Frederick
Douglass’s words
and Adolphus
Hailstork’s
setting for Baritone with
Piano accompaniment, also
available for Cello
ensemble with Timpani.
Hailstork has created an
8-minute monodrama from a
passage in
Douglass’s
landmark autobiography,
where the great orator
asks why boats can roam
the sea while he must
remain in chains.
