Rare Early American Music. July 24, 2008
I found this album serendipitously. I was in Colonial Williamsburg's DeWitt-Wallace Decorative Arts Museum Viewing an exhibit titled "The Art of Death in 18th Century America" (or something close to that), in which there were many scenes of 18th century graveyards, memorial portraits, etc. The one thing I noticed most however was this hauntingly beautiful "Funeral Dirge [Von Hagen]", I noted the title from a card on the wall listing what was being played. When I got home I immediately went to iTunes and searched for album and behold I found "George Washington: Music for the First President".
This album is wonderful; it has music of early America played in a very realistic manner using period instruments, if I am correct in remembering all the compositions are of American origin, something of a rarity to find, in relation to the vast library of European Classical Music.
