Book Description
Intimate portraits by photojournalist Richard F. Bellak of the musical festival’s counterculture attendees celebrating peace, love, and rock and roll. In the summer of 1969, 400,000 people from across the country came together and redefined the music scene forever. Though the legacy and lore of Woodstock lives on in the memory of its attendees, a new generation can experience the real and unedited festival through Richard Bellak’s never-before-seen photographs and John Kane’s incredible new interviews. Pilgrims of Woodstock offers a vivid and intimate portrait of the overlooked stars of the festival: the everyday people who made Woodstock unforgettable. The photographs and interviews capture attendees’ profound personal moments across hundreds of acres of farmland, as they meditated, played music, cooked food at night, and congregated around campfires. For three days, they helped and relied on each other in peace and harmony. For most, it was a life-changing event. Now, after the 50th anniversary of the famed festival, relive their experiences firsthand in Pilgrims of Woodstock.

It is not clear, however, that any of these much affected the practice of congregations generally. If the melody was thus supported, it would be by a 'bass' below, an 'alto' (or 'high' part) above, and perhaps a 'treble' (or 'third' part) above that. The transfer of leadership to the upper women's voices did not become established till long after 1612. We may reasonably conjecture that whatever part-singing was attempted was more contrapuntal in impulse than harmonic, with more attention, that is, to the combined 'run' of the voices among themselves than for the complete chord-sequences as such, though at this period, especially with melodies of this folk-song class, the latter were coming into decided prominence.
