520 a| The Civil War was a time of emotion, accompanied by a volume of popular music never before or since equaled in American experience. Tunes of victory, songs of despair, political songs, rousing songs, songs of defiance--these were the salient features of the music composed during the war dividing the nation, in a period when people sang of their loyalties and drove away their tears with the chorus of their hopes. A war of brother against brother, the Civil War was the most tragic in the history of the United States, and its songs are distinguished by a deep sincerity reflecting the principles of the opposing sides. Now, a century later, the contemporary songs of both North and South have been skillfully woven into this rich narrative portraying the American people during their greatest crisis. This book covers all facets of civilian and military life on both sides, as reflected in song: the surge of patriotism; the appeal for volunteers and the organization of fighting units; the life of the soldiers in training camps; the meeting of Union and Confederate armies--including battle incidents, casualties, prisoners, and the postscripts to fighting; activities on the home fronts; the long and weary years of war as both sides hoped and prayed for victory; and the final flourishes as the North claimed victory on the battlefields. Included in this volume are the lyrics of hundreds of both Union and Confederate songs, and musical examples from twenty-three songs of the Civil War, many of them familiar and some long forgotten, but all representative of the works by the composers and authors of the 1860's--Stephen C. Foster, Septimus Winner, A. E. Blackmar, and many others. There is also a bibliography of song books, along with a list of the song titles, authors, and composers, and the subject matter of the songs. In addition, there are fifteen colorful illustrations of broadsides, original music scores, and sheet music covers.;

Abstract	The Civil War was a time of emotion, accompanied by a volume of popular music never before or since equaled in American experience. Tunes of victory, songs of despair, political songs, rousing songs, songs of defiance--these were the salient features of the music composed during the war dividing the nation, in a period when people sang of their loyalties and drove away their tears with the chorus of their hopes. A war of brother against brother, the Civil War was the most tragic in the history of the United States, and its songs are distinguished by a deep sincerity reflecting the principles of the opposing sides. Now, a century later, the contemporary songs of both North and South have been skillfully woven into this rich narrative portraying the American people during their greatest crisis. This book covers all facets of civilian and military life on both sides, as reflected in song: the surge of patriotism; the appeal for volunteers and the organization of fighting units; the life of the soldiers in training camps; the meeting of Union and Confederate armies--including battle incidents, casualties, prisoners, and the postscripts to fighting; activities on the home fronts; the long and weary years of war as both sides hoped and prayed for victory; and the final flourishes as the North claimed victory on the battlefields. Included in this volume are the lyrics of hundreds of both Union and Confederate songs, and musical examples from twenty-three songs of the Civil War, many of them familiar and some long forgotten, but all representative of the works by the composers and authors of the 1860's--Stephen C.
