This is the first in a new series of repertoire books for the English (or "pendant") ocarina. It aims to provide music for concert performance for those who have moved beyond the initial learning stages.
The music in this book is playable on any 5 or 6 hole ocarina, although there is no reason why it can't be played on other styles of ocarina, such as the "sweet potato", which has a much larger range. It consistently uses the same keys and notation developed by Ocarina Workshop for the Langley concert ocarina, which will be familiar to anyone who has completed their course books.
Starting with traditional folk songs from around the world, the book moves through famous classical solos and duets, ending with a complete arrangement of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.
This edition is intended for ocarinas in the key of D (Langley or similar), with G ocarinas used for some of the harmony parts. For musicians with ocarinas in C, a separate edition is available with the same pieces arranged in that key.
