"Farewell, My Lilly Dear Quickstep" (1853)
"Dixie" (1859)
"Old Dog Tray" (1853)
In this section of the movie, 3 back-to-back-to-back scenes feature the music of a brass band. Two of the pieces, "Farewell, My Lilly Dear Quickstep" and "Old Dog Tray" come from GWE Friederich's 1853-1854 'Brass Band Journal'. "Dixie" of course was written in 1859 by Daniel Decatur Emmett (1815-1904) as a minstrel tune and became the unofficial anthem for secession and the Confederate States of America.
From Wikipedia:
North and South is a 1980s trilogy of best-selling novels by John Jakes which take place before, during, and after the American Civil War. The saga tells the story of the enduring friendship between Orry Main of South Carolina and George Hazard of Pennsylvania, who become best friends while attending the United States Military Academy at West Point but later find themselves and their families on opposite sides of the war. The slave-owning Mains are rural gentleman planters while the big-city Hazards live by manufacturing and industry, their differences reflecting the real divisions between North and South which ultimately led to war. The first novel, North and South, was published in 1982. The novels were adapted to television and Book 1: North and South premiered in 1985.
