LANCASTER — Thursday, July 4, at 7 p.m., Woody Pringle and Marek Bennett will present an overview of the American Civil War through the lens of period music. Audience members participate and sing along as the presenters explore lyrics, documents and visual images from sources such as the Library of Congress.
Through camp songs, parlor music, hymns, battlefield rallying cries and fiddle tunes, Pringle and Bennett will examine the folksong as a means to enact living history, share perspectives, influence public perceptions of events, and simultaneously fuse and conserve cultures in times of change. Showcasing numerous instruments, the presenters will challenge participants to find new connections between song, art and politics in American History.
