Going over some stuff online and I found a recording of Du Bois' The Souls of Black Folk, published in 1903 (4 years after The Philadelphia Negro). I really enjoyed the recordings because it plays the music that is written at the top of each chapter so the reader can get a sense of the music Du Bois found appropriate to each chapter. I loved the interactive aspect of it. http://www.archive.org/details/souls_of_black_folk_librivox

It is broken up by chapter which is great so you can pick to hear individual parts of the book. This site is also helpful because it gives a little more information to the poetry and the music that Du Bois used. http://way.net/SoulsOfBlackFolk/table1.html So! Enjoy enjoy enjoy :)
