Seven Times Salt marks the 250th anniversary of the nation with music. This tour of early New England traces a musical lineage from the first 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 dance tunes. The program includes works by Thomas Arne and William Billings, selections from the Ainsworth Psalter and Catch that Catch Can, and a pleasing variety of dance tunes from 18th-c. American manuscripts. Meet the musicians at a reception afterwards!
