What reading level is Francis Hopkinson, the First American Poet-Composer, And Our Musical Life in Colonial Times book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Only a few years later the War for Independence broke out.
Everywhere fiddle and harpsichord gave way to fife and drum. Our musical life, which not alone at Philadelphia, but at Boston, Charles- ton, New York and in cities of minor importance had steadily been developing, was crushed and remained more or less crippled for years after the war. Gradually, however, musical entertainments returned and multiplied at a surprising rate, but it lies not within the plan of this address to describe the m...usical surroundings in which Francis Hopkinson lived after the war.
A simple reason forbids this. His activity had been necessary, previous to the great struggle for independence, to awaken and to keep awake the musical life at Philadelphia. But now the days of the amateur musican had passed, the professional definitely took his place, and the first golden age of music in Philadelphia, the period from 1790 to 1850, was fast approaching. Without doubt, Francis Hopkinson's love of music was as deep after as we know it to have been previous to the war, but his position had changed.
