The Civil War, Its Music and its Sounds, Frederick Fennel and the Eastman Wind Ensemble, is a great album on 2 cds, Mercury recording, recently re-issued. Musical instruments used are original to the time. All of the old bugle calls are there. The selection of Union and Confederate music is good. The booklet shows the musical instruments of the time and has a good text, albeit very brief.
