From America's best known composer, Aaron Copland, comes this two book collection. Well known for incorporating folk melodies in his orchestral works, Copland has chosen some of the more familiar melodies for this collection. His training as a pianist shows, yet the accompaniments are not hard and play an important part in the interplay between voice and piano. The contents for each book are as follows. Set 1: The Boatmen's Dance; The Dodger; Long Time Ago; Simple Gifts and I Bought Me A Cat. Set 2: The Little Horses; Zion's Walls; The Golden Willow Tree; At The River and Ching-A-Ring Chaw.
