About this title

Synopsis

Although Root is most often remembered for his Civil War songs, this "operatic cantata" shows him to have been a gifted and sensitive composer of music theater as well. The Haymakers represents the best of the dramatic cantata, a popular nineteenth-century genre that combined elements of American balladry with the oratorio, glee, and church music traditions made popular by Lowell Mason and his followers. The present edition is based on the original 1857 print published by Mason Brothers, with all the missing accompaniments realized and with suggestions for mounting a modern, staged performance.
