Concert: Music from the Life and Tour of Lafayette

David and Ginger Hildebrand have chosen pieces from period sources to create a historical music program to commemorate the anniversary of Lafayette’s Farewell Tour. These pieces were works composed to mark important events, songs enjoyed by citizens, officers and soldiers alike, dance tunes of the period, military ballads, and airs and instrumental works heard at impromptu theatrical presentations and concerts before, during, and after the Revolutionary War.
The evening’s concert illustrates how music of the colonial, Revolutionary, and federal periods, much like that of the Civil War and later conflicts, served to express the varied thoughts, fears, and hopes of Americans within the current musical styles. Based on both manuscript and published source materials the Hildebrands have created a program of music largely transplanted from Great Britain and the Continent yet imbued with American fervor, pride, and growing appreciation of France and the Marquis de Lafayette.
