Important Historical Fact:
Song no. 2 is often titled "Free America"
and dated 1774.
But this song was written by Dr. Joseph Warren in 1770
and
is more accurately titled,
"Brave America" since those words are used
in every verse of the song not "Free America."
For example these words in the 3rd verse
from the original broadside sheet:
We led fair FREEDOM hither, when lo the Desert smil’d,
A Paradise of Pleasure, was open’d in the Wild;
Your Harvest bold AMERICANS! No Power shall snatch away,
Assert yourselves, yourselves, yourselves, my brave AMERICA.
You will also receive audio recordings (MP3) of the four patriotic songs,
including the Boston version of "Yankee Doodle"
during the American Revolution,
written by a Harvard College student.
These patriotic songs were compiled
by American Music Preservationist, Roger Lee Hall,
Director of the Center for American Music Preservation
These four songs are useful for teachers, students, singers,
or anyone interested in American history.
