RETREAT MEDLEY - WAV (320K)
O'Carolan's Lament
Colin's Cattle
Soldier's Return
Retreat was the final duty ceremony of the camp musicians'
day. All men were to be in tents, the camp secured for
the night and guards posted after
"Retreat" was beaten. Retreat tunes were often
of a reflective mood. Here are two Gaelic laments and a
march with a melancholy air that is well matched with the
preceding tunes.

Stony Point
Welsh March
A Hessian Air
The fort at Stony Point, New York was the scene of a daring
victory in 1779 by American General Anthony Wayne. The
disarmingly lyrical 3/4 time air may be the most beautiful
piece we have ever come across. The composers' original
harmonies are used in the last two pieces.

La Paix
La Paix, the siciliano movement from G. F. Handel's "Music
for the Royal Fireworks," celebrates the peace of
Aix la Chappelle in 1748 which ended the war of the Austrian
Succession. MCV first performed this arrangement at Colonial
Williamsburg's "Grand Illumination" in December
1991.

The Gimcrack
These selections form an extensive medley of dances and

Review" march played as Rochambeau's troops departed
