Sacred Nine Project

About Sacred Nine Project

Sacred Nine Project Podcast is an extension of Sacred Nine Project (sacrednine.com). The podcast thrives in the tension between the beauty and uniqueness of American music (particularly 18thc and 19thc) and the oddities and often problematic worldviews it reveals. By taking a look at this body of work, we can learn a lot about our country’s history, which tells a great deal about our country today, and ourselves. Join music professor and vocal/choral performer, C. Leonard Raybon, as he champions American music, while playfully indicting it. The podcast will feature guest historians, musicians, and performances.

   40} The Tell-Tale Clock

   Stephen Foster hated noise. His brother tells the story that he bought a clock that drove him mad until could basically bury it in the basement! It made me think of "The Tell-Tale Heart." i wrote a song as a metaphor for Stephen Foster's "guilt" about his unsavory songwriting choices. See what you think!
