Product Details

Product Description

From Library Journal

This well-planned, carefully researched, and smoothly written book covers a group of performers generally neglected in print, going back to Elizabeth Taylor-Greenfield, born in 1820. In early cases biography is culled from skimpy sources and framed by the racial and cultural contexts of the times, with flashes of fascinating illumination for us today. For much of the book Story has varied the length and format of each singer's history, but sections in the second half contain rows of short vignettes that tend to a lock-step sameness in style. Chapters and discussions on the role of black churches, black voice quality, ethnicity in opera, and the influence of the Harlem renaissance add valuable background. Recommended for music libraries and music collections in school and general libraries.
- Philippa Kiraly, Cleveland

5.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all singers!, Feb 26 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: And So I Sing: African American Divas of Opera and Concert (Paperback)
This is a great book that tells the story of the African - American experience in the world of opera. There is so little on this particular subject as it is and I thought the author did a beautiful job telling the story! As an African - American woman I felt proud to read the about the lives of some really wonderful singers. I hope this prompts more research on this topic!
