A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This work has been compiled for the purpose of furnishing a suitable book for adult singing schools, or classes in vocal music, and also for families and social musical parties. It consists, as its title page purports, altogether of secular music. The selection has been made chiefly from those songs, and other pieces, which have obtained a decided popularity. This, however, was not found to be a very easy matter; for of the great multitude of such pieces, but few are equally and entirely unobjectionable in their text and in thei music. In many cases it has been found necessary to make alterations in the poetry, and in every instance, its character has been primU yregarded. By far the greater number of pieces in the present volume, are either now harmonized for the first 5, or altogether newly arranged; and a few were composed expressly for this work. Many of the pieces have been long known to the public in the shape of single songs, duetts, c. These, and all the other pieces in this book, are now presented in four parts, in order to meet the requirements of a general singing school, in which the four kinds of voices, viz. Treble, A lto, Tenor and Base are usually found. It is hoped that theO deon may prove a pleasing and useful collection, and that its publication may have a tendency to promote a correct taste and style of performance in vocal music.
