Today's Morning Edition music is from the vocal quartet Anonymous 4 singing "Aura Lee."
It's a song off their new album "1865," which goes on sale Tuesday. The group says this will be its final album. After more than 30 years of touring and 20 albums worth of music, the group's members are moving on to new projects.
The record is composed entirely of songs first sung during the American Civil War. The melody from this tune was later used to create Elvis Presley's hit song "Love Me Tender."
