Violin Solos and Duets of George M. Cohan Favorites: for Advancing Beginner to Intermediate Violin, in First Position and Easy-to-Play Keys

By Susan Call Hutchison

Celebrate a Glorious Fourth of July with "Your'e A Grand Old Flag" and "Yankee Doodle Boy." Then sample more of the songs that made George M. Cohan's Broadway productions the hottest tickets in the early 20th Century.

Full of patriotic vigor, old-fashioned sentiment, and show-stopping spectacle, these tunes have been hummed and played, sung and danced to - and even marched to - for more than a century.

Each song can be played as Solo, Duet or Ensemble. Stand-out melodies and professional harmonies ensure you can enjoy and perform these arrangements without accompaniment or backing tracks, and still sound great.

No matter where you are in your musical ability, you'll appreciate that all keys in this book are easy to read and play, and everything can all be played in first position. Adult Beginners of Violin and Fiddle are especially encouraged to add these songs to your practice and performance repertoire.

Contents: Yankee Doodle Boy; You're a Grand Old Flag; Mary is a Grand Old Name; Forty-Five Minutes from Broadway; So Long, Mary; Over There; Give My Regards to Broadway; Harrigan; Nellie Kelly, I Love You; That Haunting Melody.
