Home Sweet Home: Life in Nineteenth-century Ohio Span: 1800s English web presentation Before the age of radio, television, and other electronic diversions, people made their own entertainment, which included family music-making. In this presentation, parlor music from 19th century Cincinnati is presented through audio recordings and sheet music, and focuses on themes that reflect the social, economic, and religious values of the time. Since the songs were created for home performance, they give special insight into the domestic life in which these values developed.
