The ukulele has enjoyed an unexpected but huge resurgence in popularity, and no wonder! Only four strings, easy to play, and eminently transportable, it's a great choice for musicians of all ages. America's Favorite Children's Songs for Ukulele is a collection of eighteen of the best-known, best-loved, and most fun songs that can be played and sung for and by children. From Baa Baa Black Sheep to those long bus ride songs like The Bear Went Over the Mountain, there is enough variety to keep any kids -- or adults for that matter -- making music. The music is arranged for ukulele in both tablature and regular music notation. Chord frames are provided as well for accompanying yourself.

Three original folk songs comprise this suite for string orchestra. The works parallel traditional folk-song forms: the hornpipe, the lament, and the slip jig. This is excellent material in the Irish-Scotch-English folk music tradition.

Brief, energetic, and exciting...what more could you ask from a fanfare? The brass is bravura, the woodwinds brilliant, and the percussion drives it home with a point!
