The American Revolution: Music From The PBS Documentary (CD)
THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION examines how America's founding turned the world upside-down.
Thirteen British colonies on the Atlantic Coast rose in rebellion, won their independence,
and established a new form of government that radically reshaped the continent and
inspired centuries of democratic movements around the globe.
The film uses a wide variety of music, both from the period and newly composed pieces
for the
series. Music from the documentary, features performances by Jake Blount, Brooklyn
Rider, Nora Brown & Steph Coleman, Hanneke Cassel, Rhiannon Giddens, Jennifer
Kreisberg and Yo-Yo Ma and others.
