- Lot Description
Confederate Sheet Music, Incl. "Who Will Care for Mother Now?" and "The Southern Cross"
Lot of 2 pieces of illustrated sheet music, each approx. 9.5 x 12 in., including " Who Will Care for Mother Now?" (4pp), and " The Southern Cross " (3pp), both published by Geo. Dunn & Co., Columbia, SC and copyrighted by George Dunn in 1863 " in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Confederate States of America, for the Eastern District of Virginia. " Both songs were favorites among Confederate soldiers.
"Who Will Care for Mother Now? " 4pp, features music written by C.F. Thompson and poetry written by C.C. Sawyer, the author of another popular Confederate ballad, " When This Cruel War is Over. " Lyrics read, in part, " Who will comfort her in sorrow? / Who will dry the falling tear? / Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead; / Who will whisper words of cheer? / Even now, I think I see her, / Kneeling, praying for me! how / Can I leave her in her anguish? / Who will care for Mother now? "
"The Southern Cross ," 3pp, features music written by C.L. Peticolas and words written by St. George Tucker. This was a very famous Confederate song patterned after " The Star Spangled Banner, " attempting to adapt the style of the patriotic ballad to the Confederate cause. Some of the song's most provocative lyrics read, in part, " How peaceful and blest was America's soil, / 'Til betrayed by the guile of the Puritan demon, / Which lurks under Virtue, and springs from its coil, / To fasten its fangs in the life blood of Freemen. "Who Will Care for Mother Now? with some spots of discoloration throughout, some pinholes to left edge, and brittleness, including small areas of paper loss, to other edges; The Southern Cross with some discoloration throughout and some small pinholes to left edge.Condition
