Seven Times Salt marks the 250th anniversary of the nation with a live concert! This performance will trace a musical lineage from the settlement at Plimoth, to the eve of the Revolution, and 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 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 eighteenth-century American manuscripts.
