In what years was Let My People Go selected?

• A. 1925-1929
• B. 1935-39
• C. 1940-44
• D. 1950-54

Answer: (B)

The piece Let My People Go is listed in the mid-1930s in the Fine Arts catalog, specifically during the 1935-1939 period. This era saw many American folk songs and spirituals being included as representative works in the program, so the selection of this spiritual fits that chapter of the catalog. The other year ranges fall outside that mid-1930s window, so they don’t match the documented selection period for this tune.
