Hymns of Early America for Flute presents a patchwork portrait of the traditional sacred music of the early Republic. Thirteen melodies represent diverse peoples and musical traditions from European settlers to enslaved African Americans and indigenous tribes. These songs of identity, now sung both in and out of church, have become the heritage of all Americans. Titles include New Britain (Amazing Grace), Simple Gifts, Beach Spring, Distress, Jefferson, Kedron, Foundation, Swing Low, La Qui Parle, Prospect, Rest Your Head, Tender Thought, and Holy Manna. Pieces range in difficulty from easy to intermediate. Designed as hymn preludes and stand-alone performance pieces. The book includes the piano accompaniment and flute part.
