Sacred Nine Project
C. Leonard Raybon
Frequency: 1 episode/31d. Total Eps: 33
Sacred Nine Project Podcast is an extension of Sacred Nine Project (sacrednine.com). The podcast thrives in the tension between the beauty and uniqueness of American music (particularly 18thc and 19thc) and the oddities and often problematic worldviews it reveals. By taking a look at this body of work, we can learn a lot about our country’s history, which tells a great deal about our country today, and ourselves. Join music professor and vocal/choral performer, C. Leonard Raybon, as he champions American music, while playfully indicting it. The podcast will feature guest historians, musicians, and performances.

27} I Shall Be Left
Episode 27
vendredi 4 avril 2025 • Duration 15:16
As a child I was traumatized by the Second Coming. At any given moment, Christ may pierce the skies. If so, you’d better be saved. But in my culture, you never really know if you’re saved; if you sin too much, you wonder if you were really saved to begin with. Now that I’ve evolved from that, I wonder if being left behind might be an opportunity to roll up my sleeves and really get to work.
26} Verses for Children: A Transgender Reflection
Episode 26
vendredi 7 mars 2025 • Duration 39:18
We talk to the originator of these songs, Journey Schaubhut, a trans man, who gives us insights in his “journey” in transitioning gender as well as voice part. We are so grateful for this! I had chosen him because the logo for the concert was a Colonial boy and I thought his participation was just right.
