Julia: Music and Reflections
Julia Ward Howe (1819-1910) is typically portrayed as a "one-note Julia" in US musical history, known almost exclusively for a single accomplishment: penning the words to the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" during the Civil War. However, she contributed much more to American life than merely "Glory, glory, hallelujah!" Julia Ward Howe was a woman deeply involved in all the radical issues of her day, ranging from abolition to women's suffrage to pacifism. She spearheaded the original commemorations of Mother's Day as a celebration of antiwar values.
This recital of selections from the world premiere, with historical and musical commentary, is ideal for schools, universities, libraries, and historical societies. The program has a proven track record, having been presented already at the Riverdale Ethical Culture Society, the Waldwick (NJ) Public Library, the New York Civil War Roundtable, Greenwich House, and Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church (Brooklyn).
