Gungl 1863 American Civil War March

[edit]

In 1863 Gungl wrote a march to celebrate Ulysses S. Grant's victory at Vicksburg, Mississippi, which he titled "Major General U.S. Grant's Grand March". It is in 6/8 time and was selected by the J.C. Penny Company to be included in their American Bicentennial Musical Celebration, a collection of songs from American history for use by amateur bands performing for Bicentennial events. The masthead of the march shows his name as Joseph Gung'l. <J.C. Penny Company American Bicentennial Musical Celebration> 98.169.234.121 (talk) 12:53, 25 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
