“Today’s Google Doodle is in honor of Amanda Aldridge, an opera singer and esteemed composer of parlour music.
“Amanda Aldridge was born on March 10, 1866, in London to a family of actors and musicians. Her mother was a Swedish opera singer, while her father was a renowned African-American stage actor. Having a natural talent for music, she studied vocals and harmonies at London’s Royal College of Music under the tutelage of greats like Jenny Lind and Sir George Henschel. After graduating, she embarked on a musical career of her own.
“However, Amanda Aldridge’s concert career was cut short after a bout of laryngitis lead to a throat injury that damaged her voice. Instead, she turned her attention to being a music teacher, paving the way for numerous others to carry forward the great tradition of music. Some of Amanda Aldridge’s students include Paul Robeson, a prominent American actor and political activist, and Marian Anderson, the first African American singer to perform at the Metropolitan Opera.
“Amanda Aldridge was also an accomplished composer in the sector of 'parlour music.' In the time before record players were a common household item, the most efficient way for songs to spread was through sheet music. Parlour music was intended to be played at home with a piano — a common feature in middle-class homes — and accompanied by vocals.
“Between 1907 and 1925, Amanda Aldridge composed over 30 works — often under the pseudonym 'Montague Ring' — including the song 'Azalea,' seen below. Her works were credited for expertly blending the diverse styles of her own ethnic background, often using lines from black American poetry in her lyrics….”

ReplyDeleteNo wonder google applauds these nigs.blacks who attempt to destroy the country built by Whites are admirable--heroes--in their eyes.
Whites who try to fight to keep their rights,freedoms and the great country we once had,are labeled supremacists--while blacks are more exclusionary today than Whites could EVER be.Just look at what black supremacist Ava Duvernay says about her lack of hiring Whites in movies:"If Whites complain about who I hire,they will NEVER be considered in the future.Now that blacks like myself have the power to hire blacks over Whites--we're going to hire blacks--so live with it--and be quiet."

As far as the black arms and hands go,it appears as though a black thug is getting his thug son used to being fingerprinted in the future.Another great black father-son moment--along with stealing your first gun together,getting a crack high and finding dad with yo' gf.
