Protest / From Martin Luther to Bob Dylan

Railing against corruption, injustice and tyranny has long inspired artists to channel their protest through music. Luther’s outrage at religious decadence led to the Protestant Church, whose chorales provided its followers with their rallying cry, while political upheavals prompted fiery choruses from Billings, through Schumann to Shostakovich. Finally, the soundtrack to the Civil Rights’ Movement was written by activists like Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan, whose ballads find fresh audiences through recent arrangements.
