Musical Passage with Hans Sloan

A Musical Passage with Hans Sloane

7/15/2016

Join Hans Sloane in tour of early music in the Americas through the Musical Passage website.

In 1707, Sloane wrote Voyage to the Islands of Madera, Barbados, Nieves, S. Christophers and Jamaica, and explored what this new world of the Caribbean Islands had to offer. He also described (and transcribed) the music he encountered, both what he heard and the instruments he saw, including the "Strum Strum" banjo. Three amazing scholars - Laurent Dubous, David Garner, and Mary Caton Lingold - have brought the text to life with annotations, clips of music, and an exploration of early African diasporic music. The site, sponsored by the Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University, has so much to offer.
Explore away, banjo lovers!
