They are especially well suited to performance on the flute, and they provide excellent material for developing skills in rapid tonguing, extended breath-control, and phrasing. Three of the world's most famous melodies are here: Mildred Hill's Happy Birthday (originally Good Morning to You), Euphemia Allens' Chopsticks (originally the Celebrated Chop Waltz), and Effie Corckett's Rock-a-Bye, Baby. Less well known delights include Faustina Hodges' Because I'm Twenty-Five and Florence Percy's Fly Away, as well as Amanda Aldridge's Dance of the Warriors and the list goes on and on. A separate recorder edition is available.
