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.\nThis program explores\, in a pre
 sent moment when American ideals are undergoing such deep challenges\, the
  vital and life-affirming sounds of the young Republic\, as its citizens s
 ang 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 -- fe
 minists\, abolitionists\, freed slaves\, religious minorities\, and insole
 nt scallywags of "Yankee Doodle" -- all remind us that in our musical root
 s lies our true strength.\n\nThese songs\, both written and from oral trad
 itions\, offer an enlarged\, intercultural perspective on the music played
  and sung in the early republic's first century. They will include marches
 \, anthems\, spirituals\, and ballads\, restating our commitment to democr
 acy.\n\nVenue\nAlna Meeting House\n1789 Alna Rd\, Alna\, ME 04535\n\nThe A
 lna Meetinghouse is a 1789 historic building with features typical of its 
 era — steps at the entrance\, fixed pew seating\, and narrow aisles — 
 and is not fully wheelchair accessible. Visitors with specific accessibili
 ty needs are encouraged to contact us in advance at historicalna@gmail.co
 m so we can discuss any accommodations.\n\nPhoto: Pulpit in the Alna Meet
