Champagne Rag, is as the title suggests is a bubbly, effervescent piece, considered by some to be one Lamb's finest rags published in the heyday of the ragtime era. Unlike many other recorder adaptations, in this one all voices have plenty to do and which can be literally breathtaking, even at the brisk pace suggested below.
Champagne Rag was published by the Stark Music Co, St. Louis, Missouri, USA.
A tempo of 180 crotchets/min. is suggested.

This recorder adaptation is respectfully dedicated to Kerstin Lorenzen, tin whistle and recorder player, folk songstress from Gettorf, near Kiel, Germany.
