Your favorite music from the 1860s

You don't have to post a big list all at once. Just add some favorite tunes/pieces whenever you think of them.

Since we have a lot of audiophiles on the board, feel free to recommend some of your favorite recordings of the music you list.

 

Joachim Raff - De Profundis Psalm 130
(Can't find the whole piece on line, but here's the second movement)



(I'm listening to the Raff album that features the recording above at the moment, so I'll be posting a few Raff pieces in a row first--he's a very underrated composer in my opinion)

 

Probably “Rally ‘Round The Flag,” also known as “The Battle Cry of Freedom,” written in 1862, during the Civil War.

Here’s a lovely version by Ry Cooder:



Did you mean 1960s though? A thread for music of the 1860s is a great idea.

 

Joachim Raff - Pater Noster

 

Thought for sure it was a typo and you meant 1960s

 

The Mephisto Waltzes by Franz Liszt

Here's #1 played by a really ugly girl...

 

Brahms Piano Quintet in F Major, 1864

 

Beautiful Dreamer (1862? published posthumously 1864)

I first heard this song watching "Mighty Joe Young" when I was a child.

 

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov - Sadko Op.5 (the "tableau musical" or "musical picture" version; this isn't the opera, the opera was later)



(Interestingly, by the way, there's almost a bit of a Philip Glass vibe to the very beginning.)

 

Thars music in them thar hills!!

 

A damn refreshing thread. Hopefully a series of C19th decades will ensue.

 

'Was My Brother in the Battle?' by Stephen Foster (1862).

This is the Kate & Anna McGarrigle version from Songs of the Civil War (1991).

 

Ein deutsches Requiem, Brahms, 1868

 

Stephen Foster, song by song thread....I'm in!

 

I started a couple others. Eventually I'll get to each decade and then earlier eras, too.

If someone else starts some of the years I haven't done yet, hopefully I'll notice it or someone will let me know, as I'm trying to keep a big/master list of all of the "favorites/best of the year" threads (that I'll keep posting toward the beginning of the threads for the current year when we start those).

 

From 1860

Ivan Petrovich Larionov - Kalinka

 

I believe Liszt composed the first of his four Mephisto Waltzes early in the decade.

 

She came up on me YT feed as "The Breast Pianist You'll Ever Hear".

 

Ken Burns' "The Civil War" is a great disc of period music.

 

OT: Found out last week that a distant relative was among
the picnickers at The First Battle of Bull Run.

 

The Battle Hymn of the Republic, lyrics by Julia Ward Howe

 

Go Down Moses.

 

Augusta Holmes - Ouverture pour une comedie
(the exact date of this early piece of hers isn't known (or at least it's not easy to find), but it's from the 1860s per most sources; some other sources claim it's from the first half of the 1870s)

 

Holmes' children, by the way, are the kids depicted in this infamous Renoir painting:

 

why / how infamous?
