Book Reviews of The Songs of Stephen Foster
Book Review: Enjoyable and lovely music.
Summary: 5 Stars
I find this collection of music to be particularly lovely and enjoyable. It is written for voice and piano accompaniment. The sheet music consists of the Stephen Foster originals. (So no guitar chords.) And I have to say, I find the versions to be particularly lovely. "Beautiful Dreamer" has the prettiest piano accompaniment to it that I've seen. And even "Oh Susanna" is charming. The accompaniment only requires modest piano accomplishment and the songs are easily sung, so no one needs to be overwhelmed. In all the music is very light and pretty. I do recommend it! It's perfect for evenings at home or light entertaining.
