Notes: | *May be sung as a canon. |
Like Paul Revere’s engraving of people singing around a table that formed the frontispiece of the volume where this canon appeared, its music and words (based on John 11:35, 38) were the fruits of the lively cultural scene in Boston during an era of growing colonial unrest.
