From Plimoth to Yorktown: Musical Celebration of Our Nation's 250th Anniversry

Seven Times Salt will present their American Revolution Songbook concert at the First Congregational Church, 429 Main St. Ashfield, MA.

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 the Bay Psalm Book, and a pleasing variety of dance tunes from 18th-c. American manuscripts.

• Julia Soojin Cavallaro, mezzo-soprano, percussion
• Karen Burciaga, violin, guitar, alto
