Brief tuneful melodies arranged for intermediate flutists and guitarists from early American (1817) popular music. Written in standard notation these delightful arrangements feature collections of popular melodies from that era as well as airs and dances. In keeping with performance practice of the traditional music played during this time these arrangements are organized into sets of pieces as they may have been performed during this era. The sets include jigs slow airs and marches as well as melodies that were popular from the continent.These arrangements are appropriate both for background music as well as public concert performance. The arrangements are derived from abook of flute melodies entitled 'Riley's Flute Melodies.' Published in 1816 and 1817 this book was possibly used as jazz musicians use lead sheets to develop spontaneous arrangements of pieces depending upon the occasion and the musicians at hand. The guitar arrangements were modeled upon existing guitar practice during that time and use idiomatic guitar devices such as pizzicato and harmonics to provide an imaginative underpinning for the melodies. Many of the arrangements give equal treatment to both the guitar as a harmonic and melodic instrument.

Edward C Bairstow’s compositional output was somewhat hampered by a busy and useful life and the bulk of his compositions were created for the Anglican church. His setting of Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence is widely performed. This setting for The Office for Holy Communion in D is one of three settings he created for the mass. It is an effective and sensitive setting and in particular the pianissimo moment created for ‘And was made man’ and fortissimo phrase just before ‘And the third day’ leading into the double choir passage for the ascension are the work of a great talent immersed in religious understanding.Organist teacher composer and conductor Edward CBairstow (1874 – 1946) spent most of his professional life happily in the role of Organist at York Minster playing teaching leading the choir giving recitals writing music and works of musical pedagogy. When offered the position of Organist at Westminster Abbey Bairstow had no hesitation in declining and remaining in his native Yorkshire. He is best known as a teacher having had a remarkable number of students and for his extreme straightforwardness and high standards for himself his singers and the composers whose work he chose to perform or present.
