American folk music is just right for flute. From the lyrical beauty of Amazing Grace and Shenandoah to the rollicking good fun of Lane County Bachelor and Old Joe Clark these 34 tunes will keep you playing and keep your listeners dancing and singing. All of the tunes can be played on flute alone or with piano guitar or any chord instrument. Chord symbols are included with the music. The lyrics are included in the book. Lyrics can help with learning rhythm or with memorization of the melody. They allow the player to sing aswell as play or to invite others to sing along. Besides they are fun. The Play-Along CD includes two sections. The first section of the CD includes all of the tunes with Jessica Walsh on flute and Andrew D. Gordon on piano. The second section is a Play-Along featuring wonderful piano accompaniments arranged by Anita Briggs. The music notation for the piano accompaniments is in PDF format and is available for download.

With this volume we would like to invite you on a little musical journey through two countries during which we will visit many nearby and faraway countries and get to know some of their most popular tunes. This volume offers you the opportunity to play to the accompanying CD. All pieces have been recorded in two versions: complete with flutes and only accompaniment (without flutes). So you can choose the version to which you would rather play along. Have a good journey! We hope that you will enjoy it.
