Music heard on the Northern Homefront during the American Civil War
D.C.HALL'S NEW CONCERT & QUADRILLE BAND.
NOTICE to the PUBLIC.
This recording attempts to present an accurate depiction of American society in the North during the American Civil War through the medium of its popular music. Societies reveal themselves most completely through their popular culture, and a world view radically different from that of modern listeners is expressed in the music heard on this recording - a world view in which some attitudes towards war and peace, courage and honor, life and death, emotions and sentiment, and other peoples and nationalities may strike us as odd, parochial, or even, at times, repugnant. Yet if we are to understand other cultures, including the distant land of our own past, we can do no better than to listen to them speaking in their own words, and refrain from assesing them as if they were part of our own society's current social and value systems.
