Mel Bay's Dulcimer Sessions

Welcome to the latest issue of Dulcimer Sessions®!
Here is a colorful collection of musical pieces arranged for the mountain and hammered dulcimers. Hammered dulcimer players will find notation and chords to play all of them. Many thanks to Marc Mathieu, who is introducing a new repertoire to the mountain dulcimer - that of the French Canadian people. Thanks to Robert Force for the colorful background and arrangement of "Dixie." Two timely arrangements for this time of year are Jeanne Page's "Fur Elise" (from her new book) for June weddings, and Mark Nelson's arrangement of "America" in celebration of Independence Day.
