Méringue Recital

In August 2019 I gave an informal recital for family on my grandmother Nellie Jean Harned’s (who was also 3/8 Cherokee) upright piano of Haitian Méringues that I will be analyzing for my dissertation. The SRDMH archive in Montreal has been converting relatively unknown Haitian classical music into digital format for purchase.

From this recital you can only find tracks 12 and 13 on Youtube. The rest are unknown to the public though you may know the tune to Track 3 as “Yellow Bird.”
