Bruce C. Kelley and Mark A. Snell, editors. Bugle Resounding: Music and Musicians of the Civil War Era. (Shades of Blue and Grey Series.) Columbia: University of Missouri Press. 2004. Pp. x, 260. $44.95.
Despite all the volumes written on various aspects of the Civil War, the era's musical culture has been studied in a mostly fragmentary manner. There have been many song collections, but until recently, relatively little of a more theoretical nature has been published. There are numerous explanations for the oversight. Historical musicologists, for example, have traditionally concentrated on the works of the "classical" masters, folklorists on American roots music, and ethnomusicologists on music cultures of the present. Scholars from other fields have perhaps been put off by the technical challenges associated with an in-depth musical study. This fine collection of ten studies edited by Bruce C. Kelley and Mark A. Snell begins to address the lacunae. Representing academic backgrounds across the humanities, the book's ten authors collectively present an informative and wide-ranging overview of the era's diverse and fascinating musical cultures. They write in a nontechnical manner accessible to the generalist but equally useful to the specialist.	1
In the book's opening and richest essay, Kelley offers a brief and cogent review of the state of Civil War-era music research. He divides that work into ten broad and asymmetrical categories that cover the time's social strata and ideologies as well as material cultures. Each of these categories—including "Musical Personalities," "Popular Song and Dance," "Music and Culture," and "Military and Civilian Bands"—is thoroughly reviewed in terms of past research and future research possibilities.	. . .
