Music of the American Revolution

Enjoy a spirited performance of music telling the story of America’s War for Independence.  Highlighting both military and civilian forms of music, the Hildebrands will discuss and perform pre-war songs against taxation, ballads about heroes and battles, and dance music enjoyed by soldiers and officers alike.  David & Ginger work directly from primary source musical materials and perform upon appropriate period instruments – harpsichord, violin, Spanish guitar, English guitar, hammered dulcimer and flutes.
