5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Album For Historic Music Fans
By Patrick M. McCauley on August 8, 2000
Format: Audio CD
This is by far the best recordings of historic American music that I have come across. The arrangements are beautiful for all the songs. Chester and Dormant are my two favorites. In addition, the information and background for all the songs is given in the booklet. I found this to be very helpful and interesting. If you are sick of hearing historic songs being butchered by banjos, dulcimers and mandolines, and want to hear the real thing, than this is the album for you. I love this record!

5.0 out of 5 starsWow.
By Rebecca Menes on December 18, 2001
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I just got this CD in the mail -- bought for a friend who is a new citizen. Thought I'd give it a listen first. Wow. I own a fair amount of 18th century popular and choral music, and a few Boston Camerata discs. This beauty is going straight to the top of my list of favorites. Lovely, very musical. I agree with the previous review that this disc captures the history, but I want to recommend the recordings as music, too.

4.0 out of 5 starsElegantly and tastefully done
By Ken Cybulska on January 15, 2009
Format: Audio CD
This album and its collection of historic compositions, is both elegantly and tastefully rendered and appointed.

Virtually the entire album is executed in the finest of good taste - and is both well groomed and tailored. The word 'Grand' comes to mind.

Rated four and a half to five stars.

4.0 out of 5 starsVery Enjoyable
By R. Albin TOP 1000 REVIEWER on March 19, 2006
Format: Audio CD
A really nice selection of American patriotic music from the Revolution to the onset of the Civil War. The performances are excellent. It includes some of the best work, including his patriotic anthem Chester, by the outstanding New England choral composer William Billings.
