From Plimoth to Yorktown
Karen Burciaga, violin, guitar, alto; Daniel Meyers, recorders, flute, percussion, baritone; Josh Schreiber, viola da gamba, cello, bass; Matthew Wright, lute, cittern, tenor
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the “shot heard round the world." The historic events at Lexington and Concord on the morning of April 19, 1775 sparked the beginning of the Revolutionary War and the eventual creation of the United States. Our musical tour of early America traces a lineage from the first settlers at Plimoth to their descendants on the eve of the Revolution and eventual victory at Yorktown. You’ll hear English catches, early shape note hymns, songs of liberty and taxation, wartime laments, and even some of George Washington's favorite dance tunes! The program includes works by Ravenscroft, Arne, and Billings, selections from the Bay Psalm Book, and a variety of dance tunes from 18th-c. manuscripts.
4pm - Church of St. Andrew, 135 Lafayette St. Marblehead, MA
$10 suggested donation at the door
