SEVEN TIMES SALT

From Plimoth to Yorktown: Music of Early America

On the brink of our nation’s 250th birthday, Seven Times Salt’s tour of early New England traces a musical lineage extending from the first settlers at Plimoth to their descendants’ eventual victory at Yorktown. English catches and early hymns lead to songs of liberty, rants against taxation and tyranny, wartime laments, and even some of George Washington’s favorite dance tunes. The program includes works by Thomas Arne and William Billings, selections from the Ainsworth Psalter and the Bay Psalm Book, and a pleasing variety of dance tunes from 18th-century American manuscripts.

Program subject to change.
