Composed from the 1770s – 1820s\, the tunes illustrate his enormous popularity in the New World. When Lafayette came from France to America during the Revolutionary war\, his given title was Marquis. Once made a general in the Continental army\, he renounced his noble title\, took on the title General Lafayette and became a beloved figure in American history. \nCopious evidence of his 1824-25 tour survives in prints and paintings\, commemorative items\, poetry and pamphlets as well as published descriptions of speeches\, toasts\, parades\, fireworks and triumphal arches. Yet the performing arts\, most notably music and dance\, survive to rekindle the past excitement and mood of that day – that America is great because of its awesome democratic institutions and larger-than-life heroes: Lafayette and Washington. Period songs\, dance tunes and marches resonate with such affirmation down the centuries. \nArranged from period sources\, some songs involve newly composed music and lyrics; others are parodies – new lyrics set to old familiar tunes. “Yankee Doodle” and “Auld Lang Syne” were common melodic choices. You’ll hear how the latter tune was used to honor Lafayette’s presence during the Revolutionary battle at Brandywine\, Pennsylvania. As the artists sample later decades of music\, listeners will come to appreciate how American music of the 1820s served to express many of the thoughts and hopes of Americans long ago. The stimulating program will be a treat to the eyes as well as the ears. It is rendered on a delightful array of period instruments such as harpsichord\, Baroque and English guitars\, English flute\, violin and hammered dulcimer. Sit back\, listen\, learn and enjoy!

LECTURE and DEMONSTRATION :\n\nDATE: NOVEMBER 8\, 2026.   3 PM EST. In-person\n\nPLACE:  Michael Bush Library. 3000 West Street.  Annapolis MD\n\nAs the two dominant mainstream artistic systems of the East and the West\, Chinese painting and oil painting each possess distinct characteristics\, profound artistic heights\, and complementary qualities that together exemplify the principle of shared beauty. Grounded in the perspective of mutual learning between Eastern and Western artistic civilizations\, this lecture compares the core differences and unique artistic strengths of Chinese painting and Western oil painting across aesthetic philosophies\, creative mindsets\, brushwork and color\, perspective and composition\, material techniques\, and artistic mood expression. The highlights of East and Western Art Forms will be explained.\n\nThe lecture and demonstration show that these two art forms are not opposing forces\, but avenues for mutual learning\, integration\, and coexistence.\n\nThe program presented by World Artists Experiences in cooperation with the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China is free of charge. Donations are welcome. For Further information\, email wae@comcast.net URL:https://www.acaac.org/event/shared-beauty-east-in-chinese-painting-and-west-in-oil-painting/ LOCATION:Michael E.
