"Of all the events in North Carolina's long history,perhaps
none continues to evoke as much interest as the Civil War.
A Johnny Reb Band from Salem focuses on the important
role of musicians who,through their special talent, raised the
spirits of fellow soldiers and brought hope to the Confederate
cause. In this entertaining work,Harry H. Hall explores the
history of the Twenty-sixth Regimental Band, North Carolina
Troops, C.S.A., which was composed of Moravian musicians
from Salem, North Carolina,and traces the band's Confederate
service for a little more than three years, including their
participation in the Battles of New Bern, Malvern Hill,
and Gettysburg."

"Throughout the 19th century, bands existed by the thousands and a single book could
never be written that would do justice to every one of them, nor make known the contribution
of every bandleader of the period. The purpose of this book is to show, using a
representative sampling of the bands that existed throughout the century, how bands in
America originated, grew to popularity, and adapted to the ever-changing tastes of the
people... By illustrating the camaraderie bandsmen shared among themselves, impressions
they imparted to their fellow citizens, with their flashy uniforms and shiny instruments, and
the influence their wonderful music had on an emerging nation, the bands, leaders, and
bandsmen of the 19th century can take their rightful place at the forefront of our nation's
history." ...Brian F. Smith, Bandstands to Battlefields

"[During the 18th and 19th centuries] it is unlikely that the average person could have gone a single day without hearing a horn or
trumpet call of some kind, as these instruments were used in horse-drawn coach and steamship travel, religious services and
civic ceremonies, for hunting and horse racing, by firefighters, athletic and bicycle clubs, and in military settings. By 1832, the
posthorn was no longer simply a signaling instrument, but also functioned as a significant melodic instrument, [performing] folk
music, national airs, and popular songs. By employing posthorns or imitating their basic stylistic intervals and rhythms,
[composers] effectively completed the musical transformation of the posthorn from a basic signal horn echoing through the
countryside, into an instrument of art music appreciated in the concert hall."

If you like bugle calls or historic brasses/natural trumpet music, you will really enjoy this recording. If
you're not sure, listen to the sound files to whet your appetite!
