Description:
Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, this medley of Civil War-era tunes is cast in a unique and appealing setting for young bands. The Girl I Left Behind Me (tin whistles are optional), When Johnny Comes Marching Home and the tender Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier express longing and hope for loved ones far away. In contrast, Battle Cry of Freedom and Battle Hymn of the Republic inspire feelings of patriotic resolve and courage. A rousingly effective work! (Grade 2.5) Dur: 5:10
