January 2014, Victoria, Australia-(http://www.amazon.com/150-Stephen-Foster-Songs-Songbook/dp/1502905485) With all the different items and products being sold on the top online retailers in the world, mazon, it can be very difficult to be featured and be seen as something different from the clutter. One publishing firm believes that by offering unique and truly useful items, they may be able to stand out in Amazon’s thousands of other merchandise for sale.

With the release of their Stephen Foster Songs Songbook – Piano Sheet Music Book, Ironpower Publishing has received a “number 1 new release” commendation from Amazon. This is the first of the company’s books and written works to receive such a citation. This means that Amazon’s buyers are giving the Stephen Foster Songs Songbook the thumbs up by choosing to buy it in preference to other books. This seal of approval brings the book to the attention of other online buyers for their consideration.

With the new release recommendation, the music book will be part of Amazon’s hot new book release list. An icon stating it as a number 1 new release will also appear on the songbook’s listing under the Piano, Vocal and Guitar Songbooks category.

The Stephen Foster Songs Songbook contains scans of the original sheet music and compositions of the acclaimed artist. The scans are complete reproductions of music sheets and a book related to Foster which is over a hundred years old. Also known as the “father of American music,” Stephen Foster wrote more than 200 songs in his lifetime with a particular parlor or minstrel type of music. Up to this day, over 150 years after his passing, his songs are still beloved and often referenced by today’s culture.

The Stephen Foster piano sheet music book features many different works of the talented composer including 5 instrumental works, 15 hymns, and 136 songs, many perfect examples of his musical brilliance. Additionally, the book also contains an introduction of the man behind the timeless music and also special sections right at the end of the book. One section has reproductions of some of the original sheet music covers, which have delightful artwork. Another section contains a tribute from another artist. This includes the song “Lullaby” by Percy Grainger which is all about paying homage to Foster’s song, “Camptown Races.”

The songbook features all of the most well-known works of Stephen Foster which are still often performed today. “Oh Susana,” “My Old Kentucky Home,” “Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair,” and “Beautiful Dreamer” are all featured with their music sheets in the book.  Richard Hargreaves, author and owner at Ironpower Publishing says “We created the Stephen Foster Songs Songbook as not just a mere compilation of music sheets, it is more for remembering the past and acknowledging the very first great American composer. It bares great historical significance and it gives the American people today an insight into the culture, lifestyle and inspiration of the US people in the 1800s.”

What stands out with Stephen Foster’s works are the simple, beautifully catchy melodies which carry on through each generation. This would help account for it being a number one new release. The book is available for sale online now from Amazon, CreateSpace, and Barnes & Noble.
