Music and Lewis and Clark are not words that generally go in the
same sentence. But the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William
Clark show that music was an integral part of their famous journey.
Music brought welcome entertainment to the men, far from home. It
also served as a diplomatic bridge to the American Indians they met
on their way. Although Lewis and Clark themselves did not play,
they had two fiddlersPierre Cruzatte and George Gibsonamong the 30
or so men who went with them. Other members of the expedition sang
and danced. The journals do not mention specific tunes the men
played, but we can say with certainty that the music here dates
from the period. We have rigorously documented all but the Native
American pieces, which were handed down through oral tradition.
The rush to war, the loss of loved ones, the deep wounds of a
five-year conflictthe intense emotions of the American Civil War
are brought to life through the songs and instrumental music of the
day. Now, 150 years after the start of the war, Anne Enslow and
Ridley Enslow have produced a music CD that features both familiar
Civil War songs such as The Battle Hymn of the Republic and lesser
known but haunting melodies like The Vacant Chair. The musicians
include pianist Jacqueline Schwab, whose distinctive playing was
heard on Ken Burnss highly-acclaimed Civil War documentary,
celebrated fiddler John Kirk, and noted balladeer Linda Russell.
Includes 32-page liner notes. A free educator's guide is available
