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÷.ß.
