Traditional Music of Maine
celebrates the musical legacies of a variety of Maine folk
communities by exploring their cultural and historical
significance through oral history interviews with musicians and
other community members. The tapes introduce the general public
to the remarkable diversity and vitality of Maine's musical
traditions. Originally developed as a radio series for the Maine
Public Broadcasting Network, the project was funded by grants
from the Maine Arts Commission and the Maine Community
Foundation. This series consists of four cassette tapes
containing a total of eight half-hour programs documenting
Maine's rich, traditional musical heritage.
$10.00 each or
$36.00 for the complete set of four.
