Music at the times of The Crucible

1692
Most musicians of the late 1600’s were forgotten and
then revived in the 1900’s when recordings came about.
One example is Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

1953
The beginning of a golden age: both Elvis Presley and
Frank Sinatra recorded their first songs in 1953. The
top hit that year was Dean Martin’s “That’s Amore.”
