The work examines the musical life of Philadelphia during the 18th century, focusing specifically on the German musical contributions, the evolution of secular and religious music, and the cultural factors influencing musical development at the time. The text aims to challenge the misconception that musical culture in America was negligible during this period. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing the influx of German immigrants into Philadelphia and the resultant cultural impact, particularly in music. It highlights the prominence of hymnody among early German settlers and delves into the roles of various figures, such as Francis Daniel Pastorious and the 'Hermits of Wissahickon', who significantly influenced the musical landscape. The opening portion lays out the early foundations of musical practice, including the importance of church music, the first hymn-writers, and the gradual shift toward an appreciation for secular music in the context of Philadelphia's diverse population.
