| Added by magataganm, 09 Jun 2013 Stephen Collins Foster (July 4, 1826 – January 13, 1864), known as the "father of American music", was an American songwriter primarily known for his parlour and minstrel music. Foster wrote over 200 songs; among his best known are "Oh! Susanna", "Camptown Races", "Old Folks at Home", "My Old Kentucky Home", "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair", "Old Black Joe", and "Beautiful Dreamer". Many of his compositions remain popular more than 150 years after he wrote them. The Social Orchestra consists of eighty-three pages of music presenting various instrumental arrangements of popular airs of the day, melodies of well-known operas, arrangements of Foster's own songs, and several new instrumental works composed by Foster himself including, "Anadolia", which appears on page 22. | |||
