This book features a collection of 71 traditional melodies and songs, many of which are typically performed on string instruments such as the harp, fiddle, or banjo. These pieces are rarely arranged for percussion, making this adaptation for tongue drum both unique and refreshing. Many of the melodies come from Celtic traditions, including Irish and Scottish tunes, but the collection also features a significant number of American songs, as well as some English and Australian folk melodies. It includes love songs, ballads, drinking and table songs, rustic melodies, and heroic ballads.
