(4 stars) - Elegantly and tastefully done
This album and its collection of historic compositions, is both elegantly and tastefully rendered and appointed.

Virtually the entire album is executed in the finest of good taste - and is both well groomed and tailored. The word 'Grand' comes to mind.

Rated four and a half to five stars.

(4 stars) - Very Enjoyable
A really nice selection of American patriotic music from the Revolution to the onset of the Civil War. The performances are excellent. It includes some of the best work, including his patriotic anthem Chester, by the outstanding New England choral composer William Billings.

(5 stars) - Wow.
I just got this CD in the mail -- bought for a friend who is a new citizen. Thought I'd give it a listen first. Wow. I own a fair amount of 18th century popular and choral music, and a few Boston Camerata discs. This beauty is going straight to the top of my list of favorites. Lovely, very musical. I agree with the previous review that this disc captures the history, but I want to recommend the recordings as music, too.
