Published by Mel Bay Publications

Introduction:
      These forty-five early American melodies work especially well on the modern flute. They provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing, phrasing, and extended breath control.
      Many of these melodies have roots in the Old World. For example, La Cachucha, La Cracovienne, and La Smolenska, were introduced to America by the amazing ballerina Fanny Elssler. For her White House performance, Congress adjourned early!
