Two Part Invention presents:

Morning Star — Music in Moravian America

In the mid-18th century, Moravian settlers to the New World brought with them a rich tradition of music as an integral part of their community life. Whether the music was composed by American Moravians, or brought to America shortly after its composition in Europe, it was welcomed, studied, and performed — and the tradition continues...

Hear the music of the 18th century Moravian communities, arranged for flute and guitar, and recorded live in the authentic and beautifully restored historical buildings in Bethlehem and Nazareth, PA.
