| Timothy Swan is a figure important to the beginnings of musical composition in America. Although his output was modest, he was arguably the most stylistically original composer working in the eighteenth-century New England singing school tradition. This comprehensive edition, based on a study of prints, manuscripts, sketches, and drafts, affords an unparalleled view of an eighteenth-century psalmodist at work. It also gives performers access to the music of one of America's first composers. |
