“Go Tell Aunt Nancy,” is a charming traditional folk tune.   Its roots are American, often associated with a simple and widely-recognized melody.

While the song’s lyrics tell a seemingly trivial story—the death of an old gray goose—the tune carries a quiet, reflective charm that has made it a children’s classic.

For flutists, this piece offers an opportunity to showcase a sense of simplicity and nostalgic warmth.

Its clear, repetitive phrases and accessible range make it an excellent choice for a beginner’s performance, or as a lighthearted piece in a folk music medley.

The flute’s gentle tone is perfectly suited to conveying the song’s enduring, bittersweet innocence.
