Imagine a campfire! Envision sitting around the bright flames with your friends and family singing songs out in the great expanse. Imagine that those melodies you sing stir up joy, hope, and belief in the great wonders of the world. Melodies have connected different kinds of people for many, many years. Music brings us closer, and music makes any occasion more festive and memorable. This book was written to promote the love of old folk melodies, provide processional music for special celebrations, and to include players of all levels. Music educators will find that there are many possibilities and combinations for practice and performance. Includes a 16-page pull-out section of twelve selected pieces for an optional cello part.

It is my great hope that music students, families, and educators will all enjoy this very special collection of Beautiful Melodies from Around the World.

Every Day I Will Sing would be an excellent concert opener. It's fast and fun, and with the key changes, builds to an exciting ending. The song Joy says to feel the wind with thankful hands - it's a wonderful song for a Thanksgiving program. It's Never too Late to Follow Your Dream is a thoughtful selection to use at a graduation or retirement. I love the song Joy. It makes me stop and think about everything that brings me joy each day.
