From Plimoth to Yorktown: Music of Early America

Seven Times Salt marks the 250th anniversary of our nation with music.

This tour of early America traces a musical lineage from the settlers at Plimoth to their descendants on the eve of the Revolution and eventual victory at Yorktown. English catches and early shape note hymns lead to songs of liberty, rants against taxation and tyranny, wartime laments, and even some of George Washington's favorite dances!
The program includes selections from Catch That Catch Can and the Bay Psalm Book, dance tunes from 18th-c. American manuscripts, and a rousing Yankee Doodle singalong.

Seven Times Salt: Julia Soojin Cavallaro, mezzo-soprano, percussion Karen Burciaga, violin, guitar, alto Dan Meyers, recorders, flute, percussion, baritone Josh Schreiber, viol, cello, bass Matthew Wright, lute, guitar, tenor
