Bound for the Promised Land
Music in Early America, ca. 1750-1855

Once again available through ArkivMusic, this treasured released from the Waverly Consort is a journey along the musical pathways of America from Colonial times to the Civil War: New England singing masters' "Spir'tual Songs"; patriotic Revolutionary ballads of the "Sons of Liberty"; John Playford's country dances; folk hymns from The Southern Harmony and other popular early American tunebooks.

"... delight follows delight ... exuberant, vital performances." - The Columbus Dispatch
