American Civil War Fantasy is a tone poem portraying the mood, music, and events leading to the American Civil War. Following songs depicting daily life in the North and South, we hear the rumblings of marching drums and the sounds of patriotic songs. After a meditative reflection, the noise of battle describes the conflict. Finally, a new hope for a perpetually united America rises from the ashes.

  • awesome song 

  • Jerry Bilik was one of my professors in college. In addition to his concert works, he arranged many of the songs used by The University of Michigan Marching Band. He is a musical genius, great teacher, and very personable.

  • Good balance with all the instruments!! (a - for themanizi) Loud low brass is not always "good" low brass. It needs to blend and balance. These guys did a great job of that. (b - For Doombah and Drummerlead) - They played the percussion break as written. If you played something different than this part, it was re-written from the original score. All in all, I like the way this was performed.

  • @PerinxMendel That's what i'm talkin about! TRUMPETS!! :D

  • @themanizi *Thunderous Clapping* Woot for 1st chair Tuba!!! I am too! I'm a freshman and we're playing this. I beat the senior out of first chair though!

  • Im performing this one in high school this year

  • i get the chills listening to this... We played this in grade school competition and won overall state... it was awsome... i was in 7th grade... 1st chair tuba... wow... our low brass section was WAY louder... im gonna find that record and upload it

  • Somebody should have slapped that kid into the middle of the next county.
