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.
