During the American Civil War, songs united and inspired people on
both sides. The North had a well-established music publishing
industry when the war broke out, but the South had no such
industry. The importance of music as an expression of the South's
beliefs was obvious; as one music publisher said, 'The South must
not only fight her own battles but sing her own songs and dance to
music composed by her own children'. Southern entrepreneurs quickly
rose to the challenge. This reference book is distinguished by
three major differences from previously published works. First, it
lists sheet music that is no longer extant (and listed nowhere
else). Second, it gives complete lyrics for all extant songs, a
rich source for researchers. And third, a brief historical
background has been provided for many of the songs. Each entry
provides as much of the following as possible (staying faithful to
the typography of each title page): the title as published, names
of all lyricists, composers and publishers; dates of publication;
cities of publication; and, if applicable, the names of catalogs or
magazines in which the song appeared. Music published in Southern
cities under Federal occupation is excluded.
