Beautiful American Ballads
[Solo Fingerstyle Ukulele]
With the same arranging expertise shown in his other Mel Bay solo ukulele collections, Ondřej Šárek presents these 25 lyrical North American melodies. The selections are derived from popular themes by known and unknown composers from the Colonial Era to the 21st century, including folk ballads, Civil War melodies, songs by Stephen Foster, a 19th century piece by Edward MacDowell, and a half-dozen clearly modern but lyrical compositions by William Bay. Written in standard notation and tablature for the soprano or concert ukulele tuned gCEA.
