A Soundtrack to Freedom: The Voices Behind the Harriet Tubman Musical, Go Down Moses

History, music, and inspiration come together on this episode of So St. Paul on WFNU 94.1 FM.Host Katey DeCelle sits down with the creators and performers behind Go Down Moses, a powerful musical film and soundtrack celebrating the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman. We hear from composer and film director Bob Hindel and collaborators Amelia (who plays Lucretia Mott), trumpet player Octavia Webber, actor Andy Mobley, and lead actress Jada Stumon (Harriet Tubman). Go Down Moses is a historical musical about Harriet Tubman's life and the abolitionists who helped her free hundreds of enslaved people. They discuss how the project began at St. Peter Claver School, its stage and dance versions, and its hour-and-a-half film, plus a new 37-song, three-CD narrated collection covering Tubman’s life. The group shares why Tubman’s story is urgently needed today, plays the radio debut of music from the soundtrack, including “Someday” a song about abolitionist Thomas Garrett.
