SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn - Songs of Colonial & Revolutionary America
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Presentation!\n“The history of America\,” writes Mariana Whitmer of the Society for American Music\, “is reflected in our music\, and in the songs we have sung.”    \nThe songs of Colonial and Revolutionary America rallied and unified Colonists and Revolutionary soldiers; protested grievances\, proclaimed values\, and impelled action; boosted morale and celebrated victories — and were even used as weapons!    \nJoin us as we listen to songs from the Colonial and Revolutionary period. Music historian\, Robert Cohen\, will help us understand the role music played during this period\, and why one chaplain in the Revolutionary army stated that “one good song is worth a dozen addresses or proclamations.”  \nThis virtual event is free and open to the public. Get tickets to receive the Zoom link.  Questions? Contact Jen Busa\, Public Programs Coordinator at jbusa@connecticutmuseum.org. \nGET FREE TICKETS\nAbout the speaker:  Robert Cohen has taught and lectured on American folk & popular music and Jewish music for over a quarter-century\, including at the Fifth Avenue New York Public Library and the New England Conservatory of Music\, New School University and the 92nd St. Y in New York\, the Jewish Theological Seminary and Boston College’s Center for Christian-Jewish Learning\, the Afro-American Historical & Cultural Museum in Philadelphia\, and the Mandell Jewish Community Center of Greater Hartford.  He has produced and hosted over 100 radio programs and wrote the NPR documentary\, “One People\, Many Voices:  American-Jewish Music Comes of Age\,” and he produced the compilation CD\, Open the Gates!  New American-Jewish Music for Prayer.  \nImage: Plate IV.
