i'm really impressed by these marches... in these times you may have to be very brave to march to the battle... not sure i would have been as brave as these guys in the middle of bullets and bomb shells storms... respect for these men who fought in these battles
@@dani._ii-tube Not quite. A lot of fife and drum songs played during the Civil War were old world songs from the time of the Revolution and even earlier and played in armies all over Europe as well.
@@daniel_sannguyen Nope.. Hell on the Wabash is not a Revolutionary War song. It originated in the early 19th century, first appearing as a banjo jig in a compilation of tunes by Dan Emmett around the 1850s. It was later published in 1862 as a fife and drum tune in 'The Drummer’s and Fifer’s Guide' by Bruce and Emmett.
It could be either, although these were more likely to be heard in the war of 1812 than the civil war, the cushing title refers to the fife music book from 1805 that all the tunes are from

The sound quality on this video is really good for 1864
😁
Very awsome my man. Im studying civil war right now and this is so great to listen to while doing so
thanks for making this possible mate.
Jacob you have just figured out that History and music are interconnected.
Music is a window on the past.
Great. Music
It says the music is Creative Commons. Does that mean I can use it for a documentary film I am working on?
If you want to, sure
You reenact around California?
No, I am in New Jersey.
Great songs. Are all of these Civil War era? Or Rev war too?
Just civil war
These are all from 1805

Yup. We have Hell on the Wabash and Drums and Guns which were originally Rev. War songs

What does "six eight" mean? This is very obviously in 4/4 time
I don't know what you're listening to but this is obviously in 6/8 lol
It’s the same beat as march grandioso (6/8)
Think of it as 2/4 with triplets.
...always worked fer me.

No the only people by the name Cushing in the civil war were union.
