#April2025 #Spring2025 #ClimateChange #EarthDay #EarthDay2025 #Passover #Easter #ShapeNoteSinging #Dayenu

Then, recognizing this month also brings Passover and Easter, we celebrate Shape Note Singing by giving examples and a short history of these liturgical songs, along with versions of the traditional song “Dayenu,” a Hebrew Passover song that originated over 1,000 years ago.

FolkWorks welcomes Spring … flowers are blooming and the temperatures are rising.
But nothing in the weather is predictable with climate change, so in recognition, this issue celebrates Earth Day by digging into some of the folk songs about climate change.
