Two from the 19th Century http://www.asondheim.org/organsound.mp3 Writing the final nomadic letter from Harriet Beecher Stowe's desk, where sections of Uncle Tom's Cabin were written. The human race itself is close to the brink of poverty and slaughter. http://www.asondheim.org/hbsnomadic.mov Sound of the small portable music box organ from the McGuffey Museum (of McGuffey Reader fame). You are hearing this mid-nineteenth-century box (after the echoed first section) as a nineteenth-century audience would have heard it.
