The collection of folk songs from the Americas, Europe, and Australia should provide many hours of pleasant music-making for intermediate-level recorder players. Several tunes can be easily sight -read, while others may prove to be more challenging. Every effort has been made to create interesting lines for each player, consequently, many arrangements do not confine the melody to the uppermost part, but allow it to move from instrument to instrument. Flexibility of scoring is a hallmark of these arrangements, and players will find that almost any combination of three recorders can be used effectively for one piece or another. To aid them in finding those pieces which can be played with a specific set of instruments, an index has been included which classifies the contents by instrumentation.
