Abel, E. Lawrence. Confederate Sheet Music. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland, 2004.
-
While this work does not claim to supersede past bibliographic collections on Confederate Sheet music, it can be used to find music that is no longer extant (thus not included in other bibliographies) and to find complete text and background information on Confederate songs.
-
This selected bibliography does not cover all known confederate songs. No stated criteria for song selection, except that it includes some songs that are no longer extant. Music published in Southern cities under Federal occupation are excluded.
-
Organized alphabetically by the title of the song. Each entry includes title, author, date, publisher, and complete lyrics when available. Some entries include brief historical background. Includes facsimiles of selected cover pages. The index references composers, librettists, and publishers.
-
Positive differences from past publications: includes songs that are no longer extant, and therefore not included in any other collection; also, includes the entire lyrics for songs, not just the first book (like most bibliographies). Brief historical background provided for many the songs.
