Cheering Effect of Music
Exodus 15:19-21
For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea…


Whilst the Federal army lay before the city of Rich. mend, the regimental bands were silent. When they began to retreat to Malvern, the troops marched through the acres of ripe grain, cutting off the tops and gathering them into their haversacks, being out of rations, as well as lame and stiff from marching. Orders were here given for the bands to strike up playing, and the effect on the dispirited men was almost magical as the patriotic airs were played. They seemed to catch new hope and enthusiasm, and a cheer went up from each regiment.
