Where there is resistance, there is hope. Of all of Mahler’s symphonic protagonists, it is the hero of his Sixth who fights the most bravely, even when all hope seems lost. Similarly, when Hitler’s forces massacred almost the entire population of the Czech town Lidice, Martinu raised his voice in symphonic protest, ensuring that the victims would never be forgotten. And in pre-Civil War America, enslaved Americans built their own path to freedom through the perilous territory of the Dismal Swamp.
