Excerpt from The School Song Book: Unison Songs and Part-Songs for General Singing; Students' Edition, Vocal Parts Only The School Song Book is designed chie y to encourage interested and spontaneous singing on the part of the older students, through the rendi tion in unison of well-known songs; also through part singing of standard songs which have been harmonized in a very simple manner. The collection includes both songs of the People and of the Masters. The selections, for the most part, are those that have attained to lasting popularity because of their beauty, and should therefore be made known to every student. The dominant note of the book expresses the joyousness and courage ous optimism of youth. A large number of excellent unison songs are provided for the several voices and adapted to their vocal requirements: unison songs for soprano, unison songs for alto, and (most important of all) unison songs for the much neglected alto-tenors and basses. Through this specialized unison singing an opportunity is provided for the development of the different voices in compass, exibility and quality. The basses and alto-tenors in particular need frequent exercise in melody singing, a fact which has long been recognized by thoughtful teachers. Heretofore, in an attempt to meet this need, many songs have been arranged with the melody in a lower part, the other voices singing an accompaniment, but this plan has frequently failed to accomplish the desired results because, in the effort to secure a satisfactory balance of parts, so much drill and nicety of adjustment have been required that the spirit and freedom of the melody have of necessity been sacrificed.
