This illustrates the sentimental style of the songs of this era. Thomas Hampson sings Stephen Foster beautifully.

”Ah! May the Red Rose Live Alway”

The sentimentality of the era’s songs was to be firmly rejected in the 1920's, but this gives you a good idea of what was being sung around the Union Army campfires at the time. This is Marty Robbins.

”Just Before the Battle, Mother”

They don’t come much sadder and sentimental than this.

”Somebody’s Darling”
