British Melodies-These English Scottish and Welsh melodies are especially well suited to performance on the soprano recorder. They also provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing extended breath-control phrasing and theplaying of high notes. Although arranged primarily for soprano recorder most of these solos can be played on tenor or alto recorder. (On the alto use C fingerings.) Old favorites include Bunessan Colonel Bogey My Eyes areFully Open and a few masterpiece solos by Handel and Purcell. Among the newly re-discovered gems are Earl Grey I Wish You Would Marry Me Now Kiss Me Quick My Mother Is Coming and Small Birds Sweetly Singing. A separate fluteedition is available.
