Captain Blood’s Quickstep
A great many marches were composed during the Civil War, and Captain Blood’s Quickstep, from the book of 1st Brigade Band, is an example of a tribute to a particular individual. While it’s quite possible that Edwin Oscar Kimberley (director of the 1st Brigade Band) was the composer, no name appears on the manuscript and the true authorship of this distinctive march remains a mystery yet today. Regardless the origin, Captain Blood’s Quickstep is an effective and entertaining way to capture the flavor of this important period of our nation’s history.SKU: HL4004268 -
