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 published songs of the time have long been catalogued and appreciated, McWhirter is the first to explore what Americans actually said and did with these pieces. By gauging the popularity of the most prominent songs and examining how Americans used them, McWhirter returns music to its central place in American life during the nation's greatest crisis. The result is a portrait of a war fought to music.
You have never played music before or you cannot read sheet music, but you want to play famous and inspiring hymns and spirituals. Don’t worry! You will begin to play right away. We made our pictured sheet music as simple as possible. You’ll play by number-coded circles. No musical staff or notes. The easy-to-play songs and melodies were adapted especially for beginners. The melodies have been transposed to one octave and simplified. Also, the number-coded notations have been added and complex notes and symbols have been reduced. Such simplification makes it possible for people to play melodies, especially those who can’t read music or who have never played music before. The steel tongue drum and the handpan are percussion musical instruments designed to help you focus on your feelings, sensations, and body. You don't need classical music training or knowledge of music theory to play them. The primary purpose is relaxation, meditation, and traveling through your inner world. No previous training or skills are necessary to enjoy these fascinating instruments. For tongue drums that have numbered musical notation, numbers 1 to 7 represent the keys of the diatonic major scale. For example, a C Major scale would be: 1 =C (do), 2 =D (re), 3 = E (mi), 4= F (fa), 5 = G (sol), 6 = A (la), 7 =B (ti / si), 8 (i) = C (do) Your drum can be numbered from 1 to 8, where 8 is note C of the next octave. We use the number 1 with a dot above the digit for this note because the most popular models of tongue drums use this enumeration. All songs in this book have been written with numbers because most modern tongue drums have numbers engraved or painted on their keys. This book is aimed at those new to music and musical instruments, whether child or adult. It allows for simple and easy learning that requires no previous knowledge of reading music. Because most tongue drums include and are tuned to involve the notes of the main octave, all songs from this book are possible to play in one octave. You may need to skip some songs if you have less than one octave of keys on your drum. Each tongue drum is very different and it is impossible to accommodate songs for all kinds of tongue drums in one book. There are the following hymns and spirituals in this book: Amazing Grace Babylon's Falling Be Still My Soul Christ Was Born on Christmas Day Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly Elijah Rock Every Time I Feel the Spirit God Is So Good Great Big Stars Great Day He's Got the Whole World in His Hands Holy, Holy, Holy I've Got Peace Like a River Jesus Loves Me Jingle Bells Jolly Old Saint Nicholas Joy to the World! The Lord is Come! Just As I Am Kumbaya, My Lord Michael Row the Boat Ashore O Sanctissima! Praise Him, All You Little Children Shall We Gather at the River Silent Night, Holy Night Sinner Man Soldier of the Cross Song of Praise The First Noel Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star We Are Climbing Jacob's Ladder We Are Marching (Siyahamba) We Wish You a Merry Christmas When the Saints Go Marching In Who Built the Ark?
