COMPILATION

This collection from Altissimo! Recordings -- "Your Ultimate Source for America's Greatest Military Music" -- features the U.S. Army Field Band, the U.S. Air Force Band & Singing Sergeants, the U.S. Coast Guard Band, the U.S. Marine Band, and the U.S. Navy Band & Sea Chanter Chorus. It features tunes and songs that were either popular during or derived from the Civil War period. The old minstrel song "Turkey in the Straw" and Stephen Foster's classic "My Old Kentucky Home" offset the three medleys that form the brunt of the collection. These "Blue and Gray" medleys include such memorable material as "Girl I Left Behind," "Dixie," and "Battle Hymn of the Republic," the latter of which leads into a ten-minute spoken word/song piece that traces the history of this most famous of Civil War ballads. Rounding out the collection are two versions of "Taps." The first is a solo performance; the second features a chorus of trumpets over swells of brass. It's a reverent ending to an effective, concise survey of Civil War military song. ~ Johnny Loftus
