EARLY AMERICAN ROOTS - RECORDER EDITION

..to our complete listing of Books - Folksongs for Recorder

EARLY AMERICAN ROOTS - RECORDER EDITION transcribed and edited by Geoff Wysham
Companion book to Hesperus' CD of the same name. A cross section of popular instrumental music from the English Colonies and early Federal America; divisions, shape note hymns, country dances and cotillions, arranged for the recorder. During the 18th century, as the colonies became independent from England, their music reflected this new freedom in its unusual textures and dissonances. Recorders and flageolets (the wooden predecessor to the tin pennywhistle) made excellent solo instruments. Hesperus' co-director arranged all the tunes for recorders, writing down every improvised ornament, slur and counter melody. Use this book as a technical study guide as well as a source of performing and arranging ideas. Beginning/intermediate. 85 pp.
