PREFACE.

Tills collection has been prepared mainly for use in schools. Believing that in the preparation of school song books too little attention has been paid to the character of the words sung, we have made our selections for the most part from the writings of American poets of high standing. With these before us, we have sought for music of an equally high order with which to wed the words, and where we have introduced old and familiar songs, we have edited the music with care. In nearly all the part songs, the melody can be sung alone with good effect. We desire to acknowledge our special indebtedness to Professor C. E. R. Mueller for valuable aid rendered in the work of musical revision.

The several indexes with which the book is provided record the contents, and show the origin of the words and the music. By means of the Top- ical Index, the teacher may readily discover the adaptability of the book to those special occasions, like national holidays and birthday celebrations, which form an important element in school life.

We submit the result of our work to teachers and superintendents, with the hope that it may strengthen in our schools that spirit of loyalty to American ideals already nobly expressed in American poetry.

The Star - Spangled Ban- ner

Written during the bombardment of Fort McHenry by the Brit- ish in 1814, under the title The Defence of Fort McHenry. It was set to a popular song, Adams and Liberty.

The Red, White, and Blue (Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean.)

The editors have taken several liberties with this song, the chief of these being the use of the more appropriate title, The Red, White, and Blue, and the insertion in the third stanza of the name with which our vet- eran soldiers fondly greet the national banner, Old Glory. In singing the last stanza the Sa- lute to the Flag can be given with good effect.

Francis Scott Key 1779-1843.

This tune originated in Franci- or Holl.mil. First sung in England to the nuraery rhyme " Lucy Locket lost her pocket " It wu soon adapted to verses nung by the Cava- liers in ridicule of Crom- well who wan said to have entered Oxford riding a ■mall horse and ■ a Millie pinna fastened into a sort of knot deri- sively called a " maca- roni.'"

••Yankee Doodle cime to town. I i u Ki nti-b |*iny ; He stuck a liuthcr in hit

Upon a macaroni.

When, in 1766, the Col- onist* were assembling under Braddock near Al- bany, a joke-loving Brit- ish surgeon gave them this song as the latest martial music from Eng- land. The joke succeed- ed, and the uncouth Con- tinentals played and sang Yankee Doodle to the great amusemeut of the British. Twenty-six year* later Cornwallis marc -lied to the same tune into the lines of these same old Continentals to surren- der his sword and his army.

The Old Oaken Bc-cket . .

The well in still standing in Scit- uate, Mass., the birthplace of the author.

Speed Away !

The words of this song were based on the following statement cur- rent at the time the song was written, though it had probably little, if any, foundation in fact. " Among the superstitions of the Benecas is one which, for its singular beauty, is already well known. When a maiden dies, they imprison a young bird until it first begins to try its powers of song, and then load- ing it with kisses and caresses, they loose its bonds over her grave, in the belief that it will not fold its wings, nor close its eyes, until it has flown to the spirit land, and delivered iU precious burden of affection t- . t he loved and lost. ' It is not ' says the Indian nan, 'to see twenty or thirty birds loosened at once over one grave.' "

2. Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December,

And each separate dying ember wrought its | ghost upon the | floor; || Eagerly I wished the morrow, vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow | for the lost Le- | nore ; || For the rare and radiant maiden, | whom the angels | name Lenore, || Nameless | here, for ever- | more. ||

3. Open then I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,

In there stepped a stately raven of the | sainted days of | yore. || Not the least obeisance made he ; not an instant stopped or staid he ; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched a- | bove my chamber | door; || Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just a- | bove my chamber | door; || Perched and | sat, and nothing | more. ||

4. And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting — still is sitting

On the pallid bust of Pallas, just a- | bove my chamber | dooi : || And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon that is dreaming,

And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his | shadow on the | floor; And my soul from out that shadow, that lies | floating on the I floor, || Shall be [ lifted — never J more." Jj

And the des'late Hiawatha, Far away amid the forest, Heard the voice of Minnehaha Calling to him In the darkness. Over ETDOW-flelde waste and pathless, Homeward honied Hiawatha, Empty-handed, heavy-hearted, Heard Nokomis moaning, wailing :

5 " Wahonowin ! Wahonowin ! Would that I had perished for you, Would that I were dead as you are ! Wahonowin ! Wahanowin ! "

And he rushed into the wigwam, Saw Nokomis rocking, moaning, Saw his lovely Minnehaha Lying dead and cold before him.

6 And his bursting heart within him Uttered snch a cry of anguish, That the very stars in heaven Shook and trembled with his anguish. Then he sat down, still and speechless, On the bed of Minnehaha,

At those willing feet that never More would lightly run to meet him.

7 With both hands his face he covered, Seven long days and nights he sat there As if in a swoon, unconscious

Of the daylight or the darkness. Then they buried Minnehaha, Underneath the moaning hemlocks; Clothed her in her richest garments, Covered her with snow, like ermine.

8 And at night a tire was lighted,

On her grave four times was kindled, For her soul upon its journey To the Islands of the Blessed. From his sleepless bed uprising, Hiawatha stood and watched it. "Farewell!" said he, "Minnehaha! Farewell, O my Laughing Water !

(From beginning to Fine.)

9 All my heart is buried with you,

All my thoughts go onward with you ! Soon your footsteps I shall follow To the Islands of the Blessed ! "
