Music of the Battlefields: Fife and Drum Music of the Revolutionary and Civil Wars

Tri-Percussion

Before the advent of sophisticated, high-tech communications, there was the music of the fife and drum.  This music was used to signal soldiers in battle, to set the mood for ceremonies, and to raise the spirits of soldiers and citizens alike.  Tri-Percussion (with fifer!) brings history to life through music with stories, characters, and replica instruments of the times.
