Title: American Civil War - Music
Post by: Tiagofvarela on November 14, 2012, 01:04:33 pm

So, I've been thinking, in the Mount and Blade: Warband Napoleonic Wars DLC, it uses music from that era.
Now if the same is going to happen with this new game that has been announced, I don't know. What I would like to know is what was the music composed in America at the time of this new announced game, was it the same? Was it different?
If anybody could point me to an example, thanks. :D

Hell on the Wabash, my favorite by far  :-*
Then The Girl I Left Behind Me another good one, I must say, Union is very showy, with beautiful uniforms and music.

can you add this as instrumental version?

I have to say, I like the instrumental songs more than these with lyrics! :)

Another song to expand your Union list a bit: The Fighting 69th (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWvdf_51Iq0)

Edit: Btw, as far as I know it's not actually period, but...

Edit2: There is also this one: Marching through Georgia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrYlR6RwRCw)

Why Garryowen (http://youtu.be/htmyaOYu8wA) is always left out I'll never know.

Beethoven worked with the tune, it was played by Irish regiments in the Peninsular war and was adopted as the march of the 69th New York and later the 7th Cavalry.

Apparently it was played before both the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Battle of Little-Big-Horn.

I ended up going with the 2nd South Carolina String Band's rendition, but thank you, you've been added to the list!

@Johan and Nipplestockings, already got 'em up there. I agree both are lovely songs, I love the Irish civil war tunes! ;D

Home Sweet Home is a lovely song

2nd South Carolina recently released a album featuring the song.

History

Spoiler

On May 10, 1864, Confederates and Federals faced each other at Spotsylvania. To ease the tension, a Confederate band made its way from its usual position in the rear and began playing hymns. As soon as it stopped, a Federal band nearby started in with one of its own hymns. Then came a bout of patriotic songs. When a Confederate band finally launched into the familiar strains of 'Home, Sweet Home,' both sides began cheering so loudly that it created a din not heard before in the hills around Spotsylvania.
