A Circum-North Atlantic Voyage in 1810-1811
Embark on a journey with the UCLA Early Music Ensemble, discovering the musics appropriate to shipboard life, and to each port of call. Musical selections include contradanzas, Irish dances, Mexican and Cuban sones de la tierra, Methodist hymns, Canarian sirinoques, Senegalese praise songs, dance music from Suriname... and, of course, sea shanties! As always, the EME performs on period instruments in accordance with historical performance practice.
