Larry Conger - A Treasury Of Civil War Songs

Twenty-eight songs from both sides of the war, from Battle Hymn Of The Republic and When Johnny Comes Marching Home to Dixie's Land and Lorena, in some of Larry Conger's very best mountain dulcimer arrangements.

Each brings appealing melodies and harmonies to your dulcimer, along with a sense of history. Every song is in DAD tuning (three use a capo), with tablature, lyrics, accompaniment chords and standard musical notation, and a recording of every song. Intermediate level.
