Solos for Flute 5: American Melodies After 1865

These American melodies sound great on the flute. They also provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing, extended breath-control, and the playing of high notes. This collection covers many kinds of music. Millions of Americans grew up singing 'Attisket Atasket, ' 'Put Your Little Foot, ' and 'Paddywhack. ' Immigrants brought delights like First Night in America' and 'My Love Is in America. ' John Philip Sousa captured the Americana of his time in marches for all time, such as 'The Fairest of the Fair, ' 'King Cotton' and 'Boy Scouts of America. ' All across the country, Americans sang and whistled 'Nine Hundred Miles, ' 'Gypsy Dave, ' and 'Pie in the Sky. ' A separate recorder edition is available. '
