A collection of gems -- some are familiar and some are unusual -- all are traditional tunes from Britain. The solos are superb and the ensemble arrangements are awesome. This book can be utilized by players of beginning to intermediate level. Keys of C, G or D. Our dog, Hank, used to lie down close to the harp when I played Nancy's version of Rosin the Beau.
