Could someone please tell me what the song is just before the Battle Hymn of the Republic?

[davnkatz]

Soul stirring! I can imagine how the music uplifted Confederate soldiers' spirits, especially after a battle.

[hovanti]

Very good music; I would really enjoy attending a concert of this group. It's neat that it's played on old instruments.

Old Folks At Home is Florida's State Song but is about to be replaced. [Sigh]

[Cerri01234]

Have folks petitioned or anything. Can't remember if they did or not. :(

[BismarcksOtto]

Wonderful music, thanks for posting! Could you possibly tell me the name of the first tune played? It sounds quite familiar to something I might have heard during one of the reenactments I went to during my exchange year in the US. Many thanks in advance!

[tapsbugler]

Thanks!! It is called Captain Sheperd's Quickstep by Claudio Grafulla. It uses 2 tunes-"Old Folks at Home" and "Oh, Boys Carry Me Home."  It is on our latest CD "Better Than Rations or Medicine"
