When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Originally published in 1863 during the height of the American Civil War, When Johnny Comes Marching Home captured the hopes of a divided nation longing for peace and reunion. With its stirring melody and marching rhythm, the song quickly became a patriotic anthem of resilience and return. This new arrangement reimagines the Civil War classic with a bold, cinematic flairinfusing the familiar tune with swashbuckling rhythms, sweeping brass fanfares, and dramatic orchestration. While honoring the historical roots of the original, the piece transforms into a rousing, adventure-filled musical journey that evokes both the urgency of conflict and the triumph of homecoming.
