In GLORIOUS MAHALIA, Stacy Garrop weaves fragments of interviews from the early 1960s between gospel singer and civil rights activist Mahalia Jackson, and writer and radio personality Studs Terkel, into a fascinating and stirring 20-minute work for string quartet and pre-recorded sounds. The interviews address Jackson’s career and the prejudices she faced, the meanings behind the spirituals she sang, her hope for the future of the nation, and include a recording of her singing “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” on the air. All of this is vibrantly brought to bear on contemporary ears through Garrop’s innovative and personal writing for strings.
