Tunes could be heard ringing out from parlor pianos, thundering at political rallies, and setting the rhythms of military and domestic life. With literacy still limited, music was an important vehicle for communicating ideas about the war, and it had a lasting impact in the decades that followed. Drawing on an array of published and archival sources, Christian McWhirter analyzes the myriad ways music influenced popular culture in the years surrounding the war and discusses its deep resonance for both whites and blacks, South and North.Though publCivil War America.Patriotic musicUnited StatesHistory and criticismMusicSocial aspectsUnited StatesHistory19th centuryUnited StatesHistoryCivil War, 1861-1865Music and the warPatriotic musicHistory and criticism.MusicSocial aspectsHistory781.640973/09034McWhirter Christian1688302MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822293503321Battle hymns4062425UNINA
