Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sherman's March From: GUEST,Hootenanny Date: 05 Mar 18 - 07:15 AM It is my belief that "Sherman's March" is a the tune commonly known as "Marching Through Georgia". Which is a different tune to "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine". Durham Rangers? who plays that? |
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Sherman's March From: G-Force Date: 05 Mar 18 - 05:22 AM We play it, and know it as Sherman's March. Also, it's obviously the same tune as Durham Rangers, but to a slower beat. |
Subject: Tune Req: Sherman's March From: Lighter Date: 04 Mar 18 - 09:45 PM I think it was Wayne Erbsen who popularized this title for the tune usually called "Bonaparte Crossing the Rhine." This one - not the other: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bt_7IDyQ4YI Erbsen recorded it in 2002. The only other independent reference I can find online says only that on a private recording of fiddler Frank George playing "Bonaparte" in 1966, somebody (presumably another fiddler) asks, "That's 'Sherman's March,' isn't it?" But maybe that was just a mistake. Andrew Kuntz's Traditional Tune Archive includes "Sherman's March to the Sea" as an alternative title, but doesn't say where it came from. The earliest positive assertion that the tune is called "Sherman's March to the Sea" is in Steven Harvey's 2000 book, "Bound for the Shady Grove." So is "Sherman's March" an old-time title - or just a modern mistake? |
