PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY
The Music of the Wissahickon Glen 1694-1705 My special research into the earliest original music writing in this country - the Kelpius community.
The Mystical Music of the Ephrata Cloister 1730-1760 Again, my special research of the last twenty-five years. New findings, fascinating material on the life and music of this unique American Pietist community.
Edith Stein has been a popular choice for my first-person presentations. When I "did" her for the Carmelites at the monastery the nuns gave me detailed information on how to wear the "toque" and veil in an authentic manner!
Maria Eicher has been very popular, and has been done in the 18th-century Eicher house in Ephrata, for the PA- German Heritage Days in Lebanon, and other sites, including a music presentation for the PA-German Society, with the help of the Ephrata Cloister Chorus.
