The present collection
consists of twelve of La
Hache’s piano
works, several of which
are settings of airs that
were well-known popularly
at the time of
composition. Unlike New
Orleans native Louis
Moreau Gottschalk, who
made his career abroad
and sided with the Union
during the War Between
the States, La Hache
remained a loyal resident
of his adopted city and
was a staunch
Confederate. Several of
the pieces in the present
collection were dedicated
to units who were
fighting for the
Confederacy during the
War, and all reflect his
love of the South and of
Southern culture
