Subject: RE: Women's suffrage songs c.1918 in uk From: Tattie Bogle Date: 17 Aug 17 - 04:15 AM Definite vote (no pun!) for March of the Women! Very stirring song, but unless you've got lots of high sopranos, drop the key down a fourth or fifth from the YouTube key! My friend and I did it last year during a concert re the various pioneering and campaigning women of Edinburgh. |
Subject: RE: Women's suffrage songs c.1918 in uk From: dick.hamlet Date: 15 Aug 17 - 10:05 PM A long time ago (30 years?) there was a television series, probably from the BBC, but PBS broadcast in the U.S., entitled SHOULDER TO SHOULDER, about the U.K. suffragettes, and a number of songs were featured, particularly as sung in prisons where the marchers were held. One was "The march of the women," from which the series took its name. Lots of stuff on YouTube, e.g.: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCtGkCg7trY |
