"Notes from Home" brings to life songs that were heard by the folks at home during the Civil War. You will hear some familiar songs of the era but 18 of the 23 songs have not been previously recorded. Most of the songs are from the band books of the Ellswoth Brass Band of Ellsworth, Maine. These were issued to the band in January of 1864 and are part of the Providence Brigade Band's historical collections. All but one of the remaining songs are from the American Brass Band of Providence, RI. This band was one of the premier professional bands during the last half of the 19th century. The band still exists today. The band uses all period instruments on this recording adding to realism of the music.
