Recorder Classroom: Focus On Folk Songs

This special Recorder Classroom issue features all sorts folk music for recorder. Includes:

• Rhapsody On A Civil War Ballad - Paul Jennings opens the issue with this rich orchestral setting, with an evocative opening and ending that sets "Aura Lee" in historical perspective
• The Skye Boat Song - with rich strings arranged by Paul Jennings
• Lightly Row - in an infectious rock setting by John Riggio
• Shoo Fly - as only John Riggio can do it, with different tempo options to help young players
• Arkansas Traveler - fun from Julie Gaulke with versions that get faster with each verse... or don't if you like
• A Ram Sam Sam - a unique Virtual Consort arrangement that can work with just sopranos, or any other recorder voice you have
• Polly Wolly Doodle - Karl Hitzemann's folk rock with strings arrangement features two different levels of difficulty for recorders
• Blow The Man Down - a bit of humor on the high seas from Julie Gaulke
• Tom Dooley - mosey over to Karl Hitzemann's western-style setting that can be played with GAB or DEGAB
• Hop Old Toad - Zippy Toad has borrowed "Hop Old Squirrel" for a rondo-like setting that lets your young players practice rhythms and rests with their favorite toad
