Description
Enjoy a virtual concert in the comfort of your own home with this offering from Diane Taraz!
Diane Taraz explores the time of our nation's birth through the music of the era, dressed in a hand-sewn Colonial gown. She accompanies her compelling voice with authentic instruments. Music was an important weapon in the battle for hearts and minds, as both sides created songs to encourage either rebellion or loyalty to the crown. Songs with a driving beat helped speed the work in kitchens and workshops. Soldiers marched to lively fife-and-drum tunes, mothers crooned lullabies, churches rang with hymns, lovers sang melodies of romantic passion, and everyone enjoyed ditties poking fun at the foibles of life. Invite as many friends as you like for an hour of fascinating experiences lived by the average people often overlooked by history. Learn more about Diane at www.dianetaraz.com.
