The CD traces the Southern course of the war through its music...from the
pre-war lightheartedness, to the first stirrings of idealistic patriotism,
to the martial songs of confidence after repeated Confederate victories,
to the first songs reflecting the reality of death, to laments for lost
loves at home and leaving home, to the dread of battle, to the return of
the soldiers, to the hymn for absolution, to the cry of persecution, and
the final reminisces of comrades-in-arms years after the end.
