Beatiful ❤❤❤❤❤ just amazing voices and coordination. I learned this song like 15 years ago in a choir, seems to be a hit!🎉🎉 The cannon that appears to be like an echo is amazing in this piece ❤
As we go marching, marching In the beauty of the day A million darkened kitchens A thousand mill lofts gray Are touched with all the radiance That a sudden sun discloses For the people hear us singing Bread and roses, bread and roses As we go marching, marching We battle too for men For they are women's children And we mother them again Our lives shall not be sweetened From birth until life closes Hearts starve as well as bodies Give us bread, but give us roses As we go marching, marching Unnumbered women dead Go crying through our singing Their ancient call for bread Small art and love and beauty Their drudging spirits knew Yes, it is bread we fight for But we fight for roses too As we go marching, marching We bring the greater days For the rising of the women Means the rising of the race No more the drudge and idler Tender toil where one reposes But the sharing of lives glories Bread and roses, bread and roses (Bread and roses, bread and roses) Our lives shall not be sweated From birth until life closes Hearts starve as well as bodies Bread and roses, bread and roses
The " Moses Hogan version of battle of Jericho" is a song of eight parts and it takes whole choir of talented choristers for a proper rendition of the song but these 4 ladies have nailed the piece like hell and give a big respect them most especially the barritone lady.
They were all roughly at the same time, but also, “bread for all, and roses, too” was an existing phrase. Oppenheim took a known suffragette phrase and made a beautiful poem. 🤷🏻♀️ I think attributing the quote to Todd or Schneiderman is a bit disingenuous, but attribution doesn’t belong to Oppenheim for the phrase or its meaning, just the poem/lyrics.
You ladies sound amazing and are amazingly beautiful as well. You guys should perform this at America’s got talent or something. More people need to see this.
I love this song ❤ i am certainly no political activist but i love the words and this version is wonderful but as a John Denver fan his too is an amazing version
For those wondering what they changed from the original poem: "As we come marching, marching, we battle, too, for men- For they are women's children and we mother them again." The second line became "For they are in the struggle and together we shall win". Gone is the embarrassing maternalism. And: "As we come marching, marching, we bring the Greater Days- The rising of the women means the rising of the race." Became: "As we come marching, marching, we're standing proud and tall, The rising of the women means the rising of us all." Removing the reference to a "race", which doesn't make sense in the 21st century.
