"Annals of Music in America" by Henry C. Lahee is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents a chronological record of significant musical events in the United States, starting from the early 17th century and extending to modern times. This collection aims to document the evolution of music in America, detailing important occurrences such as early performances, the establishment of musical societies, and the introduction of notable composers. The opening of the book provides insight into music's rudimentary beginnings in America, highlighting that notable musical developments started within the early colonizing years. It chronicles events like the printing of the "Bay Psalm Book," which marks the first American book of sacred music, and the introduction of pipe organs. The text also mentions significant early musical activities, such as the first concerts and performances in colonial cities like Boston and Charleston, emphasizing the role of community in nurturing musical expression even during a time when music was still in its infancy in America.
