In anticipation of your upcoming Moses study, we have a playlist of songs related to Moses and exodus. First is Louis Armstrong's playful version of the spiritual "Let My People Go," followed by a Carter Family classic, "On The Rock Where Moses Stood." Then we have a live performance by Bob Marley and the Wailers from the title cut of his album, Exodus, in which the theme is an uprising that overcomes oppression. The lyrics and title of the next piece will be familiar, but the version may not. It's a "lined out" rendering captured on a field recording from Southeastern Kentucky. This is one of the oldest forms of American hymnody, originating before literacy was widespread. Finally, from Handel's oratorio Israel In Egypt, we have his setting of the last verses of the Song of Moses from Deuteronomy, which include the Song of Miriam.
