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, “Darling Nelly Gray” by Benjamin Hanby, popular Civil War-era songs by Stephen Foster and other period songwriters, plus parlor music favorites like Edward MacDowell’s “To a Wild Rose”, Ethelbert Nevin’s “Mighty Lak’ a Rose”, and “Aura Lee”, a melody by George R. Poulton that would resurface nearly a hundred years later as “Love Me Tender”.
