SUMMARY:Lecture: Andrew Brooks\, "Hearing The Star of Ethiopia: Reconstruc
 ting the Music of W. E. B. Du Bois's Pageant"
LOCATION:Library\, W. E. B. Du Bois East Asian Reference Collection Room (
 Floor 22\, Room 2267)\, 154 Hicks Way\, Amherst\, Massachusetts 01003
DESCRIPTION:What did W. E. B. Du Bois’s The Star of Ethiopia sound like? W
 orking across multiple archives and collections\, this talk brings togeth
 er dispersed cue sheets\, manuscript scores\, programs\, correspondence\,
  newspapers\, and other records in an attempt to reconstruct portions of 
 the pageant’s music. Through that reconstruction\, I ask how music shaped
  the pageant’s staging of Black history and what attending to The Star of
  Ethiopia as a musical and performative event can reveal about Du Bois’s 
 developing political-aesthetic thought in the 1910s-1920s.\n\nhttp://next
