MUSIC

Choate: "John Come Kiss Me Now," published by John Playford in 1652, was an improvisation from A Booke of Lessons for the Cithern and Gittern and became a popular dance tune in colonial America. Performed by Hesperus, Early American Roots. Copyright Maggie's Music, Annapolis, MD, 1997.

Dodge: "Yankee Doodle" (anonymous) was a patriotic march of the Revolutionary War. This eighteenth-century tune was first made popular by British soldiers poking fun at the American military, which then adopted it as their own. Performed by Douglas Jimerson (tenor), Stephen Adamski (guitar), CSA Field Music, Nancy Drinkwine (penny whistle), Vera Kochanowsky (harpsichord), Derek Mathis (baroque flute), Sue Ross (mezzo soprano), The String Quartet, and Jill Worley (soprano), George Washington: Portrait in Song. Copyright Amerimusic, MD, 1999.

Performed by Lucy Shelton (soprano), Patricia Deckert (alto), Jeffrey Gall (countertenor), Frank Hoffmeister (tenor), Marilyn McDonald (violin), Kenneth Slowik (cello), and James Weaver (piano) in 1978.

Lynch: "Irish Wash Woman" is a popular dance tune that was published in the 1780s and has since come to symbolize Irish folk. Arranged and played by Kate Van Winkle Keller, American Country Dances of the Revolutionary Era 1775-1795. Copyright The Hendrickson Group, CT, 1988.

Scott: "Road to Victory," performed by Bing Crosby and written by F. Loesser, was featured in The Kraft Music Hall radio program on October 7, 1943.
