RE: Lincoln and Music
While trying to verify that there was a turnstile between the White House grounds and the enclosure of the War Department, I found this reference to Lincoln and music on the mrlincolnswhitehouse website:

Soldiers in the Marine Band performed on the South Lawn and Lafayette Park. Other regimental bands also serenaded the President — as did private citizens on occasions of military and political victories. Historian David Rankin Barbee wrote that although “he liked all kinds of band music, his favorite piece was the ‘Soldiers’ Chorus’ from Gounod’s Faust, which was nearly always played when it was known that he was present.”
