Comment | This is clearly the product of an amateur, but the music is skilled, if simple, and the words are bluntly effective. Brown made dedicated efforts at promotion—an advertising broadside and an arrangement for choir that he placed with a Boston distributor—but only one performance is known and there were no other notices in the press. |
