The World Turned Upside Down

Music from the Yorktown Battlefield. The music performed was chosen to highlight the countries and styles of music found at Yorktown- music from Britain, and its mercenaries, the Hessians (Germans), and the music of America and its ally, the French. Some of the music can be directly traced to a unit or action at Yorktown, while other tunes trace their origins to one of the countries that fought in 1781.
