Music of Williamsburg 1960

Music in eighteenth-century Williamsburg was a ritual of everyday life the accompaniment to everything from children's games to slave labors to marching militia. Even the simple sounds of an ordinary day seemed to mesh into a musical rhythm the beat of horses hooves, the rustling of the wind, the clinking of tavern glasses. The architecture, furnishings, costumes, and settings of this era stimulate the senses, putting you in tune with another time in American history.
