Album Description
This CD has all the essential music of the Revolutionary War era, including favorites "British Grenadiers," "Yankee Doodle," "The World Turned Upside Down" and 52 more (77+ minutes!) all performed with period-style drum beatings. Unique to this CD is a battle scene with muskets firing and cannons roaring, and with the music units joining in!

This recording is the sole example of music of the Revolutionary War era used by the U.S. National Park Service at its website.

The dates given with the song titles are the date each particular tune became associated with this particular TITLE in the literature and manuscripts as presently known. To some of the tunes, their more generally used titles are given We have very few records of specific drum beatings from the 18th Century. Most beatings used by the Nathan Hale Ancient Fifes and Drums have been arranged to fit the music as closely to the STYLE of the period as we can reconstruct, using early 19th century manuals, and in accord with the traditional heritage of drumming.

This CD is a revision of previously-published three-volume set of LP phonographic recordings which appeared under the same title.
