When Johnny Comes Marching Home

Written By LightPress

When Johnny Comes Marching Home was set to the tune of a popular drinking song of the Civil War era, its hopeful lyrics dreaming of the day that Johnny returns home from war. 

This arrangement is pensive at first, beginning with a quiet Afro-Cuban groove, then the listener travels along as Johnny returns home and a celebration erupts.
