Voices Across Time: American History Through Music
A project of the Center for American Music, part of the University of Pittsburgh Library System, and the Society for American Music.
Voices Across Time was created to help teachers harness the power of song as primary source to supplement any secondary American Social Studies, Language Arts, and Music curriculum. Music is also a potent bearer of cultural ideas, attitudes, and movements. Like works of literature and art that carry indelible messages from the time and place of their creation, musical compositions—and particularly those with texts—are source documents loaded with historical meaning. For more information visit the Voices Across Time website.
