Legend of Old Abe

Named after President Lincoln, “Old Abe” was a famous bald eagle who served as mascot for the 8th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. “Legend of Old Abe” is a marvelously descriptive work for young bands that takes the listener on a journey of Old Abe’s exploits. From a peaceful and serene opening the work progresses through the sounds of conflict and battle. The mood turns reflective and then triumphant as the music celebrates this amazing true story. A wonderful cross-curricular opportunity for your bandroom as you bring history to life through music.
