Torch Goes Digital! Song

‘The song you heard singing in the leaf when you were a child is singing still.’ - Mary Oliver

This fortnight, TORCH Goes Digital seeks out the song in everything from commemoration to revolution as we eagerly look forward to our next Big Tent! Live Event!, Till it Has Loved – American Art Song in Recital on the 5th of November.

We’ll be sharing selected content by researchers local and global from our archives, all on the theme of Song. You can keep up to date with what we are sharing on Twitter. Highlights include:

• Journey: Bridging Cultures Through Music
• Singing Windrush: Calypso in Britain
• Lost in Print? Linton Kwesi Johnson and the Reggae Music Archive
• Can commemorative music heal? And if so, whom?
