As Women's History Month and National Reading Month comes to a close, it's important to take a moment to reflect on the remarkable achievements of women throughout history. One woman whose story deserves recognition is Shirley Verrett, an African American opera singer who broke barriers in the music industry.Verrett's life and career are chronicled in the book "I Never Walk Alone: The Autobiography of Shirley Verrett," co-written by today's guest, Dr. Christopher A. Brooks. This inspiring memoir details Verrett's journey from her humble beginnings in Louisiana to her rise as one of the most celebrated opera singers of her time. Throughout her career, Verrett faced many challenges, including racism and discrimination. She was often told that she could not perform certain roles because of the color of her skin. Despite these obstacles, Verrett persevered, paving the way for future generations of African American singers.As an internationally-recognized biographer, Christopher Brooks has produced several book-length manuscripts including I Never Walked Alone: The Autobiography of an American Singer (with the late Shirley Verrett, John Wiley 2003 now available in Kindle version, 2011); Follow Your Heart: Moving with the Giants of Jazz, Swing and Rhythm and Blues (with Joe Evans, University of Illinois Press 2008; second paperback edition, February 2011), and Dangerous Intimacy: Ten African American Men with HIV (with Christopher Coleman, Linus Publications, June 2009). In "I Never Walk Alone," Verrett shares her struggles and triumphs with candor and grace. Her journey serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of breaking down barriers. The book is filled with behind-the-scenes tales of this diva's great performances, roles, and collaborations, offering insight into her stormy personal relationships as well as her private struggles and critical decisions. Featuring forewords by such figures as Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Zubin Mehta, and Claudio Abbado, this richly detailed book paints a vivid picture of a magnificent survivor and an indelible artist known around the world as the black Maria Callas. Her story reminds us that, even in the face of adversity, we can achieve great things.Dr. Brooks provides valuable insight and context throughout the book. His contributions shed light on the cultural and historical significance of Verrett's accomplishments, and his collaboration with Verrett gives readers a deeper understanding of her story.As we celebrate the end of Women's History Month, let us remember the trailblazing women who have made a significant impact in their fields, like Shirley Verrett. Let us honor their achievements and continue to strive for a more equitable and just world for all.Become a Box Office Circle subscription member for access to the video with a presentation about the life of Shirley Verrett by Dr. Brooks!

Canadian composer, Andrew Lockington, has composed original scores for feature films such as Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Journey to the Center of the Earth and Journey to the Mysterious Island. Additionally, he has scored “City of Ember,” “The Space Between Us” and “Rampage” which he discussed on The Annotator episode 34. One of his most recent projects has been scoring the original television series FRONTIER.FRONTIER is a Canadian historical period drama television series co-created by Brad Peyton, Rob Blackie, and Peter Blackie. The series chronicles the North American fur trade in late 1700s Canada, and follows Declan Harp (Jason Momoa), a part-Irish, part-Cree outlaw who is campaigning to breach the Hudson's Bay Company's monopoly on the fur trade in Canada, which has become corrupt and engages in illegal activities to enrich itself.In this episode, Andrew Lockington breaks down his main title, several key musical pieces from the series and the thematic development over the course of Frontier. He reveals how he chose to specifically and delicately handle the numerous cultural and historical elements of the score; employing them to produce a more modern-contemporary score than one might have anticipated. In contrast, Lockington also talks about how he found spots in the series for larger, orchestral moments.ANNOTATED TRACKS / SEGMENTS02:18 - Main Titles03:19 - Selection 204:35 - Selection 308:15 - Selection 412:25 - Selection 514:15 - Selection 616:27 - Selection 7SOUNDTRACKThe original soundtrack for FRONTIER was released by Lakeshore Records on January 25, 2019 and is available from Amazon.com and itunes.
