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.

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.
