Lizzo playing flute at the Library of Congress is historically ... (Classic FM)

Performing a range of flutes from the Library of Congress' extensive musical instrument collection, Lizzo surprises fans, academics, and musicians alike ...

During her time as a flute major at the University of Houston, Lizzo played piccolo in the marching band, so is no stranger to this central piece of American band music. “The Laurent crystal flute is a pre-Boehm simple system instrument, pitched in D, tapered bore, keynote played with six fingers down, only a few keys. In a TED Talk, Lizzo has previously spoken on the origination of twerking. Commentators have been quick to point out the significance of the multi Grammy Award-winning singer’s performance last Tuesday night; Madison was a wealthy slave owner and when the former president received the flute as a gift, he owned more than 100 enslaved people. Listen above and below. [Lizzo](/music-news/videos/lizzo-library-congress-crystal-flute/) hit the headlines for playing a 200-year-old crystal [flute](/discover-music/instruments/flute/) gifted to former American president James Madison in 1813, on stage at a concert in Washington DC.

What Lizzo Can Teach Conservatives about American History (The Bulwark)

Matt Walsh tweeted that “Lizzo playing James Madison's flute was a form of racial retribution, according to the woke Left. And I actually have no doubt that ...

You can find progressives who seem to prefer that African-Americans adopt a pose of permanent alienation from America due to our history of slavery and racism, and there are “conservatives” who yearn to exclude African Americans from “our history” (e.g. Lizzo’s performance was in that spirit and she has earned the respect of true conservatives. There was a fire while he was away and the only two things that were saved were a portrait of George Washington [big ovation] and this crystal flute right here. I don’t care for Lizzo’s costume choices, or the twerk move, but again, it was really a winking allusion to a twerk, not the lewd kind. I wonder how many of the “conservatives” lambasting Lizzo would be able to name the excerpts she performed from Paganini’s “Carnival of Venice” and Poulenc’s flute sonata? It’s like playing out of a wine glass.” What really set off the cons though was what happened at the Capital One Arena the following night, when representatives of the Library of Congress brought Madison’s flute onstage. And I actually have no doubt that this is part of the reason why the Library of Congress facilitated this spectacle.” Hitting the same notes, Ben Shapiro decried the “vulgarization of American history.” a gift to James Madison from a French crystal flute designer to celebrate his second term.. The Laurent crystal flute is a pre-Boehm simple system instrument, pitched in D, tapered bore, keynote played with six fingers down, only a few keys. Normally she plays the modern Boehm concert flute, cylindrical bore, pitched in C with the keynote played with seven fingers down and extensive keywork for the accidentals.
