Requiem For America: Singing For the Invisible People

Requiem For America tackles the genocidal founding of America across the 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, in three installments. Each Requiem consists of 19 movements and opens with the same Movement #1, “The Doctrine of Discovery,” that authorized colonizers to subjugate Indigenous peoples. Each Requiem ends with the same Movement #19, “Threnodia: We Are Still Here.”
