Marching Through Georgia

March · 4/4 · G major

Marching Through Georgia is an American Civil War song written by Henry Clay Work in 1865 to commemorate General William Tecumseh Sherman's March to the Sea. Set in a brisk 4/4 meter in the key of G major, it is structured as a lively and stirring march designed for energetic brass and vocal performance. The tune quickly became an immensely popular military and patriotic anthem in the North, though its association with Union victory and Reconstruction-era politics made it controversial in the American South.
