Hi! Does anyone know if there are any pieces out there based on American folktunes, transcribed/composed for piano by a composer of some significance? (Preferably having a Wikipedia Article)?
Thanks!
(What I've found so far are:
Samuel Barber: Excursions
Enjott Schneider: Mozart in New Orleans [Variations on "House of the Rising Sun"])
Ives/Liebermann: Variations on "America" [English melody popular in America as a patriotic song]
Meachem: American Patrol
Dvorak: American Suite (Not really American folktunes, but it is dubbed "American", so....)
Dvorak-Juon: New World Symphony (Same as above)
British tune-Godowsky: Star Spangled Banner( English song popular as American national anthem)
Sousa-Horowitz: Stars & Stripes Forever
Rubinstein: Yankee Doodle Variations
British folktune- Josef Hoffman: Star Spangled Banner
Foster-Warren: Camptown Races;
Foster-Grainger: Lullaby from Tribute to Foster
Gottschalk: The Battle Cry of Freedom Fantasy; Concert Paraphrase on "Union"; Columbia fantasy;
Pasquinade; The Banjo; The Last Hope;
Finney: Campfire on Ice;
Gershwin: Swanee

Richard Hoffman: Dixie Paraphrase
