About
The glass armonica, the first musical instrument invented by an American, was constructed of stacked glass bowls and played by rubbing one's fingers on the rims. As it evolved, it became so popular in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that Mozart Beethoven, Handel, and Strauss composed for it; Marie Antoinette and numerous monarchs played it; Goethe and Thomas Jefferson praised it; and Dr. Franz Mesmer used it for his hypnotizing Mesmerism sessions.
In Angelic Music, Corey Mead brings this instrument back to the public eye, telling its compelling, fascinating story.
