Summary
"The dances in this collection commemorate George Washington's life and career. Selected chiefly from 18th-century American sources, they reflect those he may have danced or observed. They are presented with a narrative on each page linking to historical events dance titles such as The Brandywine, Independence Cotillion, The Congress Minuet, Hessian Camp, Washington's Resignation, and The New Constitution. Others are more personal: Mount Vernon, Washington's Reel, The President and The Free Masons. Lady Washington and Saw You My Hero George commemorate Martha Washington. A transcription of Washington's hand-written "Rules of Civility" is included. [from a review of this book by the Colonial Music Institute]
