Try this lovely waltz – it’s in three parts, and not too difficult for an average to intermediate player. The original sheet music was dedicated to Miss Phyllis Dare and had this gorgeous cover – of the lady herself? Or “posed by model”? Perhaps someone out there knows – do let us know.
Follow the links below to hear a short sample of the piece.
Did we mention we love Felix Burns? The latest upload at The Sheet Music Stack is the Flag of Empire Dance Album – a complete programme of dances, including the fabulous Queen Mary Waltz. This grand veleta waltz (which means it was designed for a group of couples) was revived in the 50s and given a whole new flavour by Jimmy Shand on his accordion.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Christ the Lord is risen today
I stand amazed in the presence
There is a green hill far away
We sing the praise of him who died
When I survey the wondrous cross
Giving great music a new lease of life is one of our missions at the Sheet Music Stack. That’s why we’re celebrating the music of Felix Burns throughout March, the month of his birthday in 1864. Mr Burns was a prolific composer of light classical and popular pieces, under his own name, and pseudonyms which include Leona Lacoste, Claud Roslind and Leon Fabrina. His compositions included piano solos and duets, and 16 dance albums; complete programmes for an evening’s dance. Though written for the piano, the tune readily adapt to other instruments; and gain a new lease of life when adapted to the very different style of the accordion.
Felix Burns composed for all abilities – giving opportunity for players of all levels to make music and bring joy to other people.

Flowers of the Forest is available as a Lead Sheet (tune and chords) or arranged for accordion.
