‘Free America!: Early Songs Of Resistance And Rebellion’ celebrates the ideas and hopes which preoccupied the young American Republic in the years 1770 – 1780: the need for freedom of assembly, a willingness to rebel and go into battle fully aware of the cost but, above all, a desire for a new harmony whose songs, hymn tunes, and marches accompany the long journey to a new ‘promised land’. A powerful message that informs the first collaboration between harmonia mundi and Anne Azéma, now leading the Boston Camerata.
