SKU: MB.21675

ISBN 9780786681037. 8.5 X 11 inches.

The solos in this book are all based on melodies composed by women. They are especially well suited to performance on the soprano recorder, and they provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing, extended breath-control, phrasing, and the playing 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. Three of the worlds most famous melodies are here: Mildred Hills Happy Birthday originally Good Morning to You , Euphemia Allens- Chopsticks originally The Celebrated Chop Waltz , and Effie Corcketts Rock-a-Bye, Baby. Less well known delights include Faustina Hodges- Because Im Twenty-Five and Florence Percys Fly Away, as well as Amanda Aldridges Dance of the Warriors-and the list goes on and on. A separate flute edition is available.
