Album Notes

John Adams remarked, "The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution."

"American Revolutions" chronicles the struggle to realize the American dream of freedom for all, from Pilgrim 'Psalms' and Shaker 'Simple Gifts,' to the 'Battle Cry of Freedom' of the Civil War, to the homecoming foxtrots of WWI and beyond. You'll meet pioneers and suffragettes, revolutionary heroes and civil rights protesters, as well as broadway heroes like the Man of La Mancha. This fast-paced program is lined with memorable tunes and interesting anecdotes; audiences will come to realize that they are as much a part of the American Revolution as John Adams and George Washington.
