The American Revolution

In this special Independence Day episode of Three Tune Tuesday, we celebrate the 250th anniversary of American independence through three remarkable recordings that preserve the musical traditions of the nation’s earliest years. From the colonial dance tune Money Musk, to Durang Hornpipe Medley, honoring Revolutionary War veteran John Durang, to the stirring Washington Grays March, these recordings offer a unique glimpse into America’s musical heritage. Join us as we explore the stories behind the music, the artists who preserved these traditions on early recordings, and the lasting legacy of the American Revolution—one tune at a time.
