The Squirrel Rag is almost a "classic" rag with its AABBCCDD form. Dedicated to "The Bunch", the happy melodies skip about emulating the nut-consuming squirrel pictured on the front of the original sheet music. In this transcription for recorder sextet the treble has nearly all of the melodic line - at times in close harmony with the 1st tenor, the basses and tenor of the rhythm section have their moments. The final iteration of the D-strain is scored Noisy and has a thumping bass "walk" all indicating clearly that fun is intended. If sat, the ensemble should arise!
The Squirrel Rag was published by Will Rossiter, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
A tempo of 136 crotchets/min. is suggested.
