Event Details

The hammered dulcimer was popular in the United States during the Civil War, and music of that era seems right at home played on this unique instrument. Many tunes and songs in this program are still familiar today, such as When Johnny Comes Marching Home; Home Sweet Home; and The Battle Hymn of the Republic.

Others, such as Lorena; Lincoln and Liberty; The Battle Cry of Freedom; The Marching Song of the First Arkansas Regiment; Shiloh Hill; and John Brown's Dream are less familiar but just as beautiful, rousing, and inspiring. 

This is a fascinating program of historical music! Join us for this live concert performed by Phil Passen in the library.
