Transcribed and edited by Geoff Wysham. Music compiled by Scott Reiss
Early American Roots, a companion book to HESPERUS' CD of the same name,
presents a cross section of popular instrumental music from the English
Colonies and early Federal America; divisions, shape note hymns,
country dances and cotillions, arranged for the recorder. When America
was still a colony, music in the New World was a welcome link to the
settlers' original home; England, Holland, France, Germany, Ireland and
Scotland. During the 18th century, as the colonies became independent
from England, their music reflected this new freedom in its unusual
textures and dissonances. Recorders and flageolets (the wooden
predecessor to the tin pennywhistle) were easily carried about and made
excellent solo instruments for both the new and old styles of music.
They arrived in the New World in pockets, packs and bundles.
Scott Reiss, the "mind boggling" recorder player and HESPERUS'
co-director, arranges all the tunes on the CD for recorders, writing
down every improvised ornament, slur and counter melody. Use this book
as a technical study guide as well as a source of performing and
arranging ideas. An invaluable guide to a little-known, but lively
repertoire.
