The Texas Woman: Her Heritage in Song

This program has had enthusiastic audience response as it is designed to trace the history of

Texas through the medium of song in the majority of languages that have been spoken in this

region. The program begins with a native American love song, and then offers settings in the

languages of Spain, France, Mexico, Germany, and the United States, the latter including

samples of classical composition, negro spirituals, and the cowboy ballads of the southwest.
