AN EARLY AMERICAN PORTRAIT

Hummingbird Music Publishers · An Early American Portrait Watch Score VideoView Score An Early American Portrait is a medley of nine tunes prominent in 18th and 19th century American music history. A few are associated with the American Revolution while others have been handed down as simple folk songs, some with obscure beginnings. All the included songs are well known. Perfect as a concert opener. And a must for any patriotic concert! The nature of folk music lends itself to a variety of interpretations. Therefore, the tempo of each song in the medley is flexible and can easily be adapted to conductor preferences and/or ensemble capability. The work has a duration of about 8:30 and is of moderately advanced difficulty.
