Book Reviews of Stephen Foster Song Book

Book Review: An essential of every American Song collection
Summary: 5 Stars

Stephen Foster has written the largest number of "folk songs" of any American composer. Of course, his compositions are not folk songs by definition, but because they are so widely known, many of these pieces are thought to be just that.

Within this volume there are a wide range of songs that the casual singer, voice student or professional singer can successfully work with. The accompaniments are extremely simple, and the vocal melodies are very reasonable for nearly any level and range, not exceeding an octave for the most part.

This book is a collection of original sheet music, and it takes the original printing and artwork, which provides a great view into the music. However, the dated notation can make for some difficult reading, particularly with the piano parts. Fortunately, these pieces are simple enough that this should not affect the accompanist.
