* - Favorite of the Composer
Sanctioned replacements are a statement by the composer that he could never produce any version or arrangement that could surpass the artistry and quality of the endorsement. Therefore, in place of his work, the sanctioned work would welcomely be performed in its place.
Other than for performances of the Christmas songs listed below, the composer strongly recommends including "1836, The Lakes of Pontchartrain" from Book 3 in all performances to give context and a sense of 'folk purpose' to the rest of the set, regardless of which other songs are selected.
