“Powerful” would be an understatement in describing both Frederick Douglass’s words and Adolphus Hailstork’s setting for Baritone with Piano accompaniment, also available for Cello ensemble with Timpani. Hailstork has created an 8-minute monodrama from a passage in Douglass’s landmark autobiography, where the great orator asks why boats can roam the sea while he must remain in chains.
