Hi Jayson,

I have the mono version of the Echo+. It came with two disks that included
among others a sound program that could play tunes based on chords and notes
written in an AppleSoft string. It only included two sample songs: Yesterday
and Yankee Doodle (with a gunshot at the end)
A friend has the stereo version and his card came with only one two-sided
disk. There the SW was more graphics oriented, similar to the one that was
used for the Cricket! and included the same functionalities except for the
clock. The spelling test there has some short musical interludes. I think
the songs are indeed the ones you mentioned. 
I uploaded the disk images some time ago to archive.org. See
https://archive.org/details/StreetElectronicsEcho and check ECHO+_1.DSK

best regards,

cybernesto
