James Hewitt (1770-1827) was moved to set to music the clash and drama of the Battle of Trenton, which took place on Christmas Day, 1776.

Hewitt’s ear was attuned to the times and his enthusiasm for his adopted country is evident in this piece of musical imagery. Hewitt dedicated his descriptive sonata to General Washington, and the piece enjoyed considerable popularity in concerts of the day. The composer’s pictorial subtitles indicate his musical intention.
