Ep. 2: "Revive Us Again!" | A Saga of Revivalism, Revolution, and Reconciliation
Thank you for being you & thank you for visiting!
I'm continuing a new series on hymnology, and this is a triple-feature(!) broadcast wherein we will explore:
(1) the History behind the hymn "Revive Us Again!";
(2) some Theory concerning Music, Poetry, and Conducting;
(3) some Study prompts for y'all to keep growing closer to this hymn :)
If you'd like to look closer at my Keynote slides, please consider looking out for a soon-to-come blog post via https://deopatriaelitteris.wordpress.com/ . Also: please check out the 'Timestamp Guide' which I've provided below.
