Original Civil War Sheet Music

There is an amazing collection of 2588 pieces of original sheet music from the American Civil War called the Civil War Sheet Music Collection on the Library of Congress website. The pieces listed below are some of the songs I will be introducing to the choirs in preparation for the Fall Choral Concert: "His Truth is Marching On – The Civil War in Story and Song", Oct. 19, 2008, 7 PM in the Winnebago Lutheran Academy gym.
