Mr. McWhirter describes the songs that were popular during the Civil War--who wrote them, why they wrote them, how and why they became popular, and their effects. It's a fascinating read--I had no idea that there were singing groups who toured their respective regions (North, South), performing these songs. The book reads a bit like a term paper, but Mr. McWhirter's style is approachable. Since this is the first war with a soundtrack, the book needs an accompanying CD--just providing the lyrics doesn't cut it. I found some of the songs on iTunes, and listen to them as I read.

Onderdeel van de reeks(en)Civil War America (2012)
Music was everywhere during the Civil War. 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 publ Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
