I find I love best sitting on my cabin porch, with family around – my husband, sons, sisters, nieces and nephews from down the hill – “singing the moon up” as our family did when I was a child. We might just sing, and then there might be instruments coming in – dulcimers, a guitar, a fiddle, recorders.
So writes Appalachian folk singer Jean Ritchie about the music of the mountains which she has recorded here. This is a recording of songs to share, again, a way of life, a loved place in the world, all the memories gathered and passed on by the people there.
In addition to singing in many Revels performances around the country, Jean Ritchie was a presenter at a Revels Salon. Eclectic in content and social in nature, the Revels Salons are a series of lecture-discussions and performances held at the Commander's Mansion in Watertown, MA highlighting favorite Revels artists or those involved with Revels both backstage and in our seasonal stage productions.
