The Francis Hopkinson Songbook (treble instr. solos)

Item Number: S0.37229

Francis Hopkinson (1737-1791) was an important figure in Revolutionary-era America not only as a statesman but also as a proponent of art music in Philadelphia. These 10 songs are his original compositions and are considered to be the first secular songs published in America. They are published here with new arrangements of the keyboard part by Kathryn Woodard. The vocal melodies are also provided as optional instrumental solos -for violin, flute, or oboe - and are
attractive pieces for beginning to intermediate students on those instruments. Includes brief notes about the composer. 34 pp. Audio sample is "My Love Has Gone to Sea" with flute solo transposed up one octave.
