This collection of 19th and early 20th century airs and ballads is a celebration of American music that is ideal for guitar recitals and encores. Written in standard notation only, the pieces are arranged and fingered for ease of sight-reading and specifically designed to exploit the musicality of the classical guitar.The book features arrangements of the antebellum song, ôDarling Nelly Grayö by Benjamin Hanby, popular Civil War-era songs by Stephen Foster and other period songwriters, plus parlor music favorites like Edward MacDowell�s ôTo a Wild Roseö, Ethelbert Nevin�s ôMighty Lak� a Roseö, and ôAura Leeö, a melody by George R. Poulton that would resurface nearly a hundred years later as ôLove Me Tenderö.á.

During his short life (1826--1864), Stephen C. Foster wrote over 200 songs, including some that are still extremely popular today. A few of his songs are so well known that many believe they are American folk songs. In this arrangement, three of his most popular songs are arranged for young band. The entire band shares the melody of Camptown Races, which is followed by a tender setting of My Old Kentucky Home featuring the woodwinds and bells. Everything comes to a rousing conclusion with Foster's first big hit, Oh! Susanna, that lets the entire band shine.

One minute, forty seconds is all the time required to perform this jaunty setting of Stephen C. Foster's tune. Staccato technique is in high demand as well as precise damping. There's even time for a couple of mallet rolls on tabled bells and other techniques. A smartly rung Ring Touch ends the piece.
