“The People United Will Never Be Defeated!” (https://youtu.be/SWgyKm58igw?si=XWG0qKhVIRa0C26T) was composed by Polish-American Pianist and composer Frederic Rzewski (April 13, 1938- June 26, 2021). He is considered to be one of the most important contemporary classical composers of his generation.

I almost picked a version performed by Rzewski himself but I kept running into performances that were combined with other compositions of his so they ran rather long performance and I have a hard 11:30pm CST light’s out so.. yeah.. You can listen to/watch a performance combined with his 2016 composition “Rising” here (https://youtu.be/st8QlF2LKrU?si=jdHfpdTXXRhOikAE) and one that’s bookended by his pieces “Saints & Sinners” and “Stuporman” (https://youtu.be/UOd0nTHPN_Q?si=fwWvpdKedQKHGxiK)

A dedicated, lifelong socialist Frederic Rzewski’s work reflected his strident political views and “The People United Will Never Be Defeated!”is by far one of his most blatant in this regard. The song is comprised of 36 variations on the the Chilean song "¡El pueblo unido jamás será vencido!" by pianist & composer Sergio Ortega and the political folk collective Quilapayún (https://youtu.be/kTLrFjYt8tA?si=4ocY9XPZ_SdluRSz)

U.S. “Labor Day grew out of violent clashes between labor and police during the Haymarket Riot in 1886, when thousands of workers in Chicago took to the streets to demand an eight-hour workday.”

A labor historian recommends these overlooked gems (beyond classics like "Modern Times" and "The Grapes of Wrath").

What would you add to the list?
