Ten Thousand Voices: A History Of The University Of Virginia Glee Club And Its Times

Home to presidents, princes, and the authors of the football songs sung by millions of Virginia Cavaliers fans, the Virginia Glee Club has made music at the University of Virginia for the past 150 years. Ten Thousand Voices tells its story and the story of music at the University of Virginia, providing a history of choral music at the University of Virginia viewed through the lens of the oldest musical organization at UVA. It also examines the social, political, and cultural forces that shaped the Glee Club along the way, including post Civil War technology and mobility; the influence of football on collegiate culture; issues of race, including minstrelsy, integration, and civil rights; the advent of coeducation at the university; the rise of a cappella and its impact on more traditional choral performance; and much more.
