Connecticut’s Fife and Drum Tradition
Author: James Clark
Publisher: Wesleyan University Press
ISBN: 0819571423
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
The state of Connecticut boasts an extensive and active community of fife and drum groups. This musical tradition has its origins in the small military bands maintained by standing armies in Britain and Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries—the drum was especially important as it helped officers train soldiers how to march, and was also used to communicate with troops across battlefields. Today fifers and drummers gather at conventions called "musters," which may include a parade and concerts featuring the various participating corps. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest muster ever was held in Deep River, Connecticut, in 1976. Musician and historian James Clark is the first to detail the colorful history of this unique music. This engaging book leads the reader through the history of the individual instruments and tells the story of this classic folk tradition through anecdotes, biographies, photographs, and musical examples.

Some Old Time, Meeting Houses of the Connecticut Valley (Classic Reprint)
Author: Charles Albert Wight
Publisher: Forgotten Books
ISBN: 9780484646949
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Excerpt from Some Old Time, Meeting Houses of the Connecticut Valley The difficulty of deciding what examples to include and what to exclude in the treatment of his subject has been almost as great as that experienced by some of the first settlements in setting a stake for the meeting house lot. The governing principle has been the illustration of the churches built between 1780 and 1850. A few houses of worship built in the earlier periods of the history of the region are included, and the pen sketches are meant to tell the story of meeting house building in the Connecticut Valley from the beginning down to the erection of the latest examples of Colonial buildings. Many worthy examples have been omitted, and a few houses of worship have been included whose architectural value is small, but which for other reasons the author has been pleased to use in the illustration of his subject. It will be seen that almost every variety of meeting house known to the Connecticut Valley prior to 1850 is represented in the following pages.
