Product Overview
Published by Alfred Publishing Co. This collection came into being because of the small amount of early American piano music available in a performing edition. The United States has a rich musical heritage and yet it has not received the kind of attention it deserves. This material also enriches the historical studies that many young people are encountering in their schools today. Content is broken down into stories of about historical figures from the colonial period of America and include these songs: THE STORY OF THE DANCING AMERICANS: • Colombus • Ladies Choice • Fitzjames • March in Rob Roy Country THE STORY OF ALEXANDER REINAGLE: • Gavotte • Minuetto, No. 1 • Allegro, No. 4 • Allegretto, No. 17 THE STORY OF JAMES HEWITT: • Little Fugue • Washington's March THE STORY OF BENJAMIN CARR: • The Maid of Lodi • March from Melange • Waltz from Melange • Hornpipe from Melange • Gavotte from Melange THE STORY OF RAYNOR TAYLOR: • March • and Rondo.
