From Sea to Shining Sea: Adventurous Women, Book 1

This collection focuses on American folk songs, folk ballads, and popular songs that feature adventurous women-the pioneers, the trailblazers, the sweethearts. Primo is stacked on top of Secondo part; most are about 60 measures in length with the melody moving between each part. Some titles are: Sweet Betsy from Pike; The Yellow Rose of Texas; Oh! Susanna; and more. This book is interesting and well written-a good source for recital material.
