The present collection consists of twelve of La Hache's piano works, several of which are settings of airs that were well-known popularly at the time of composition. Unlike New Orleans native Louis Moreau Gottschalk, who made his career abroad and sided with the Union during the War Between the States, La Hache remained a loyal resident of his adopted city and was a staunch Confederate. Several of the pieces in the present collection were dedicated to units who were fighting for the Confederacy during the War, and all reflect his love of the South and of Southern culture. Contents: "The Alabama," "Confederates' Polka March,"
"Confederate Waltzes," "Ever of Thee,"
"Freedom's Tear Reverie," "Grande Valse de Caprice," "Happy Contraband Scottisch," "Improvisation on 'My Southern Sunny Home'," "Parade March and Quick Step," "La Plage de la Mer," "La Rosalia," "United States Polka Quadrille." Pages: 64 pp.; 8½" x 11";
Level: Moderate to advanced; Performance Time: Various.
