Handwritten musical manuscript, on a 10 x 3 piece of lined music paper. Work pens the Alto part for the nine-measure chorus of his famous song with lyrics, and heads it “Marching thro' Georgia” in the upper left corner. Work writes, "Hurrah! hurrah! We bring the jubilee; Hurrah! hurrah! the flag that makes you free: So we sang the chorus from Atlanta to the sea, While we were marching Thro' Georgia." In fine condition, with a few vertical creases and wrinkles. Inspired by Sherman's March to the Sea, Work wrote ‘Marching Through Georgia’ at the end of the previous year. Thanks to its lively melody, the song was immensely popular, its million sheet-music sales being unprecedented.
