Dulcimelody: Victorian and Edwardian Love Songs
Sunday, September 10, 2023
1-2:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time in Zoom
NEW MTN. DULCIMER WORKSHOP (Sun, September 10): Join me next Sunday for a musical portrait of the rose-colored reminiscences and innocent idylls of Victorian and Edwardian love songs. These sweet melodies will include “Nelly Bly” by Stephen Foster, “If You Were the Only Girl (in the World)” (published 1916 and popularized by the TV series “Downton Abbey”), and “Flow Gently, Sweet Afton” (a favorite Victorian adaptation of the Robert Burns poem). Arrangements will be suitable for players at the intermediate level. Registration will be $15 per participant. I will send you a Zoom meeting link and a PayPal link (or Square invoice if preferred) once you RSVP by messaging me on Facebook or emailing me at the address on my website: www.JessicaComeauDulcimer.com
