"DEDICATION" -
Singing in Stoughton, 1762-1992

Stoughton, Massachusetts has the distinction of having the oldest singing society
in the United States of America.

In celebration of the 250th anniversary of the first documented singing meetings in Stoughton, a multi-media computer disc has been prepared by musicologist, Roger Hall, with historical information about singing meetings and concerts in Stoughton, Avon, Braintree, Brockton, Canton, Randolph, Sharon and other area towns.

This survey covers the two hundred years from 1762 to 1992 with the two town musical societies and does not include the music activities of the Stoughton public schools since that is a separate town-sponsored function.

The disc also contains picture galleries with local composers and sheet music, and two music albums with 40 titles.

Includes a one hour video:"A Stoughton Musicfest" -
Presented at the Stoughton Public Library with historical commentary plus
the short play, "William Billings Teaches a Singing School" performed by a local actor.
