Michael Gordon- Campaign Songs
SKU: 713746318710
Premiered online between October and November 2020, Campaign Songs is a collaboration with Kronos Quartet intended to galvanize voter turnout in the upcoming election. Recorded in isolation by each member of the Quartet, the eight short pieces that comprise Campaign Songs were accompanied by specially-made video works touching on racial, climate, and economic justice issues. The pieces, arranged by Michael Gordon, draw from the canon of American patriotic, political, and folk music, including Woodie Guthrie's "This Land is Your Land," "God Bless America," (a campaign song for both Franklin Delano Roosevelt and his 1940 opponent Wendell Willkie), "When Johnny Comes Marching Home," (a campaign song for James A. Garfield), "America the Beautiful" and "The Star Spangled Banner." (Limited edition 7-inch vinyl)
