The Sons of Liberty have selected a snippet from one of Thomas Jefferson’s letters as the title of their new CD, A Delightful Recreation, and a true delight are the tunes chosen and played by these three young musicians in this second collection of songs dedicated to the music of early America.
A Delightful Recreation is a combination of Irish, British, French, Scottish, Italian and German songs many of which were favorites of Thomas Jefferson and were contained in his personal music library. Stirring marching songs, popular sea chanteys, delightful dance tunes, historical ballads, popular hymns, passionate laments, songs from operettas, operas, plays, and even a favorite song played by Jefferson when he was courting his future wife make up the twelve songs in this album. All were “songs of the day” during Jefferson’s life time.
It is a great companion to their first CD, Celebrating Early American Traditions, and A DELIGHTFUL CD!
