Dr. Fennell's Opus |
|
Authentic American Civil War era music and sounds of the conflict with excellent narration using the words of the participants. The finest example of music of that period played with the excellence of the Eastman Wind Ensemble. You will treasure the music and listen often. |

Connected...A decendent of the Makers of this Album. |
I was 11 years old when this Album was made. It inspired me to become an Historical re-enactor, which I have done for the past 32 years.(Though I re-enact the RevWar era).
I spent many days with the Fine recording truck,and my grandfather (William Decker...listed in the small booklet in the album), and also have an original transparency foto taken by him of one REVIEWER NAMED " A MUSIC FAN" , him firing the cannon on the album cover.
I am immeasurably Happy to get this album in CD, the original I have is an old worn out LP record.If A MUSIC FAN has a way to write another review of this...I can contact him??? and share a few stories. |

Great! |
I live in Holland and just recieved this cd,
when I play online games, driving my car or any occasion this cd is really great to hear.
The narration is also nice to hear, clear and loud. The best songs are the marching songs with drums. The only reason why I have not given 5 stars is that I missed more songs. Most of the cd is instrumental. Bonnie Blue Flag for example is instrumental, to bad the cd doesnt have a vocal version of it.
If you like civil war music you must this cd!
Greetings from Holland :) |

Authenticity |
There is some misinformation in the reviews about the sound effects. The cannons, muskets, carbines and revolvers were fired on Excelsior Field, the battle field at Gettysburg, not at West Point. All firearms were original weapons. Likewise the mounted troop sounds were also recorded on horseback there.
I'm somewhat biased since the picture on the cover shows my personal rear end, firing the 12 pound Napoleon gun. |

war between the states--MUSIC--REAL SOUNDS |
HAVING ANCESTOR'S FROM THIS PERIOD I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH, MY GREAT-GRANFATHER I KNEW TILL AGE 11 WHEN HE DIED AT 88. HIS FATHER SERVED IN THE 56TH NC INFANTRY, CSA, 1861 TILL END OF THE WAR SURRENDERING AT APPOMATTOX, VA. 1865. MY GRANDFATHER TOLD ME OF WHAT HIS FATHER TOLD HIM AS TO EVENTS OF THE CONFLICT. THE STORIES OF GETTYSBURG AND THE SOUNDS OF THE CANNONS AND RIFLE FIRE. THUNDEROUS, EAR SPLITTING, WHISTLING OF THE BULETTS, THE SHARP THUDS.
FROM HIS ACCOUNTS, THIS RECORDING, IF YOU TURN IT UP OR IMAGINE MUTIPLIED 300 TO 900 TIMES, IS AS CLOSE AS WE WILL EVER EXPERIENCE SUCH FURY. RECOMMEND THIS TOP DRAWER, HAVE GIVEN 3 AS GIFTS,---- THIS IS IT!! MUSIC AND SOUNDS OF THAT WAR FROM A 2ND HAND SOURCE. SUPER CD!!! |
