 Making Our Artifacts Sing
We [Museum of the American Revolution] recently received a fifer's music book for our collection, thanks to the support of the Colonel Aaron Ogden Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution of Garden City, New York. The handwritten book includes scores and fingering instructions for popular music from the Revolutionary Period. We [MAR] enlisted our summer intern Matt Skic to play some of these tunes on a reproduction 18th-century fife he made. Take a listen!
