SUMMARY:Free America! Early Songs of Resistance and Rebellion
DESCRIPTION:Music\, say our American ancestors\, may soothe the heart\, but
  it also sustains the search for values. This program explores\, in a pres
 ent moment when American ideals are undergoing such deep challenges\, the 
 vital and life-affirming sounds of the young Republic\, as its citizens sa
 ng and played forth their love of freedom and their rejection of tyranny.\
 n\nThe rough-hewn sounds of New England citizen-composers still ring true 
 and strong to our contemporary ears. And so do Liberty’s attendants — 
 feminists\, abolitionists\, freed slaves\, religious minorities and the in
 solent scallywags of “Yankee Doodle” — all remind us that in our mus
 ical roots lies our true strength.\n\nThese songs\, both written and from 
 oral traditions\, offer an enlarged\, intercultural perspective on the mus
 ic played and sung in the early republic’s first century. They will incl
 ude marches\, anthems\, spirituals and ballads\, restating our commitment 
 to democracy. First commissioned by the Paris Philharmonie in 2018\, a new
  Harmonia Mundi CD.
