Red Wing, one of Mills' hits, is a sad sentimental love song about a shy Indian maid of the same name who loses her beloved warrior brave in a battle far away. It has a nice easy-to-play tune well suited for recorder ragtime beginners. Mills wrote another "Indian" compositions, so popular in the early 1900's, namely: Sun Bird (1908) - An Indian Intermezzo.
A tempo of 80 crotchets/min. is suggested. Red Wing was published by F.A. Mills New York.
