Today’s Final Jeopardy
John Steinbeck called this “one of the great songs of the world” & wanted the music & lyrics printed in one of his novels
Final Jeopardy Answer
The Final Jeopardy Answer is: The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Final Jeopardy Explanation
The song John Steinbeck referred to as “one of the great songs of the world” and wished to include in one of his novels is “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.”
“The Battle Hymn of the Republic” is a song that holds significant cultural and historical importance in the United States. Its lyrics were written by Julia Ward Howe in 1861 and were first published in The Atlantic Monthly in February 1862. The song’s tune was taken from an existing camp meeting song, “Say, Brothers, Will You Meet Us,” which had been associated with the abolitionist movement.
Steinbeck desired to have both the music and lyrics featured in his novel “The Grapes of Wrath.” This song resonated deeply with the novel’s themes of struggle and hope during the difficult times of the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl era.
