This entire collection of CDs have been prepared under the direction of Album Producer, Roger Hall, who is a well respected music preservationist and award-winning composer. To read about him -- click here No attempt is made to include every kind of American music from the past since it is too vast an area to cover completely. AMRC consists mainly of vocal music from early psalmody in the 17th century to music from the 20th century. Many of the CDs have Premiere Recordings (indicated with + on the list below) and were recorded at live concerts. Because of the special preparations involved for these CDs, these conditions apply: 1. In the unlikely case of defects on a disc, it will be replaced at no extra charge after the disc has been returned. 2. No refund will be given except if a disc is defective and must be replaced. It is recommended that you write before you order if you have any questions about these recordings or wish to inquire about a possible recording not on this list.

That school has been written about and is well known. However, not as well known are the beauties of American classical music which blossomed during the same time during the 19th century, with composers such as: Dudley Buck, George Whitefield Chadwick, Charles Ives, Amy Beach, and others. To help correct that oversight, there are AMRC CDs available from the 19th century and they are listed below -- click here         All CDs are filled on-demand and help to support the work of preserving historical American music.
