Alex Austin is a wonderful singer/songwriter that leads the band Deerfield Run, and he asked me to record this intimate version of this tune!
This was a video that I created for my cousin, Garrett Snedeker, to use for both live performances and this recorded version Frederic Rzewski's North American ballads, of which this is the third. This recording is from his Master’s Recital in 2021 at Trinity Laban Conservatoire.
The video was entirely crafted with archival footage from fair-use databases, and it features reenactments of the antebellum South and the Civil War, early suburbia advertisements, and protest footage during the Civil Rights era.
The idea was to compliment the mood of the music while highlighting the protest music behind this classical composer’s interpretation of traditional spiritual. The narrative follows the transformation of white and black freed citizens post-slavery and showcases the dichotomy between each community’s development after reconstruction into the early 70’s.
