To live and die in Dixie
The bonnie blue flag
A fever in the blood

We conquer or die
Calls to duty
A song for all hardships and troubles
Fiddling and singing
Ensembles for rhapsodizing soldiers; Confederate brass bands
Home, sweet home
Musical entertainment in the south
Confederate music publishers and their industry
