The piece argues Americans in the central states lack a native musical impulse, unlike Europeans, and notes war may revive a national love of music. It praises regimental bands as bonds between people and government and urges more bands at public and patriotic events during and after the war. It cites draft-era soldiers from remote towns who had never seen musical instruments.
