Music was an important element in the lives of people in the North as well as the South during the Civil War years. However, in the South the war seemed to have had more of an impact on musical life. Most of the music heard and performed consisted of piano-accompanied songs, often expressing sentiments connected with the war, military band music--mainly dance pieces and marches--and a considerable repertoire of solo keyboard music written by white, black, male and female composers.

520 $a Music was an important element in the lives of people in the North as well as the South during the Civil War years. However, in the South the war seemed to have had more of an impact on musical life. Most of the music heard and performed consisted of piano-accompanied songs, often expressing sentiments connected with the war, military band music--mainly dance pieces and marches--and a considerable repertoire of solo keyboard music written by white, black, male and female composers.
520 $a The piano, along with the reed organ, harmonium or melodeon, was found in most homes, schools and churches. In the South, these instruments were built as early as 1791, with the Chickering Company and Knabe & Co. emerging as the leading piano manufacturers by the mid-1800's. Many of these prized possessions were lost or destroyed during the war.
520 $a Keyboard instruction was offered to girls and boys by independent teachers, or by professionals associated with local schools or "female seminaries." The music departments in these seminaries, where male, female, native or foreign teachers were employed, varied in enrollment, course offerings, and fees charged. Teaching material included methods published in the North as well as those imported from Europe.
520 $a Important Southern composers contributing to the parlor piano repertoire included Theodore von La Hache and Hermann Schreiner. Louis M. Gottschalk, who studied and lived abroad, was Southern by birth but a Northern sympathizer during the war years. The slave, Thomas "Blind Tom" Bethune was a famous composer and performer during this period who amazed audiences with his keyboard skills. The war forced many musicians to supplement their income through teaching, publishing and music merchandising. Sheet music was the main product of these music publishers.
520 $a The keyboard repertoire consists mainly of both functional and stylized dance pieces and marches. Larger multi-sectional compositions--Battle Pieces, Descriptive Fantasias, Theme and Variations, and Improvisations--were performed by amateur pianists on every level as well as by concert artists.
