Item Number: CD-2001

"A Wonderful collection of late 19th-century fare." The Washington Post
"An outstanding collection...educational and entertaining." Parents Guide/Audioweb
The cast of the Washington, D.C. Revels traces how American music was fashioned from distinct European- and African-American styles. A delightful Americana panorama of ebullient gospel shouters, prim Sunday-go-to-meetin' hymns, brisk fiddle tunes, lonely slave spirituals, plucky brass band numbers, and timelss fold songs. A few are Christmassy, but this is definitely an all-year-round record. Features fiddle greats Bruce Moelsky and Andrea Hoag.
