UNION QUICKSTEP. American, Quickstep March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody appears in the American Veteran Fifer (1902), p. 54, a publication of the National Association of Civil War Musicians, an obscure subgroup of the Grand Army of the Republic. The music was compiled by “National Fife Major,” A.F. Hopkins of Yellow Springs, Ohio. Hopkins credits the tune to musician C.E. Larrabee, of Binghamton, New York. Clinton E. Larrabee was West Point educated and an officer in the artillery; he also took out patents on various electrical devices in the early 20th century.
