Sounds of our City: Twenty-One Musical Tales from Tacoma History
"Sounds of our City: Twenty-One Musical Tales from Tacoma History," written by Kim Davenport. Audiobook read by the author.
Author's Note: Music is universal. Styles may change with time and place, but human beings have always created music for personal expression, communication, and entertainment. Music, therefore, can serve as a lens through which to explore history. What type of music did people make when, and why?
The twenty-one stories in this book do not necessarily represent the most famous or successful musicians ever to create music in Tacoma. They do not give us a comprehensive understanding of any particular musical genre. Rather, they teach us more about the history of the city we live in, through exploring the lives of musicians who were in one way or another shaped by Tacoma.
Music clips in the order in which they are heard:
"Tacoma: The Rose of the West" (1910), performed by Drew Shipman and Kim Davenport.
"You'll Like Tacoma" (1909), performed by Drew Shipman and Kim Davenport.
Samuel Coleridge-Taylor: "Pilgrim's Song," Op.59 No.20 (1905), performed by Kim Davenport.
