Excerpt from Chants Communal The song I hear from the illustrious woman is not the song of her heart: Underneath the song which the audience applauds I hear the real song framed in her immortal desires.

Excerpt from School and Community Song Book The chosen songs are provided with appropriate accompaniments and all may be effectively sung in unison. Part-singing is approached in a manner\ which, it is hoped and expected, will encourage the development of this delightful form of school or community singing. The songs begin with one complete preliminary measure of accompaniment, thus ensuring good attack and strong and effective approach to the singing parts. Where one or two voices are added, they are written as far as possible as independent parts, as in Ye Mariners of England, The Bay of Biscay, Cherry Ripe, etc., and not alone for the purpose of filling up and enriching the harmony. In the selection of folk and national songs, the editors have, as far as possible, utilised the original forms of the chosen compositions. This will explain occasional slight departures from the generally accepted form of some melodies such as The Minstrel Boy and The Last Rose of Sum mer. But, in some few cases, where, in the course of the evolution of the text and melody, the more widely known form differs materially from the original it has been deemed advisable in consideration of popular interest and affection, to use the form which is better known, such as in the case of Loch Lomond.

Excerpt from Twice 55 Community Songs, Vol. 2: The Green Book This book appears at a favorable time. There was a great deal of sing ing during the War, and With peace came a temporary reaction from what had been, in the public mind, a purely war -time activity. That reaction subsided and Community Singing has been resumed With fresh interest and vigor. The predecessors of this book:18 Community Songs (1 Com munity Song: and T we 55 Community Songs (191 been the means of stimulating interest in singing and have been widely used throughout the land by community groups, primarily for recreation and the promotion of community good-will and fellowship. Among other beneficial results of this practice is the marked growth of music appreciation apparent in every place where community singing has taken root, which has created an unmistakable demand for greater scope in material to meet the improved abilities of the singers. No. 2 Twice 55 Community Song-s, Tko Green Book, aims to meet this demand; to serve as a bridge from the now familiar and popular com munity sing to the choral society. To an extent never equalled in a col lection intended for wide popular use, it includes material that 15 worthy of the best choral societies: arias and choruses from famous operas, four-part songs by favorite composers, together With selections from the best-known of the great oratorios. But While extending the scope in the direction of more important cho ral work, the less ambitious functions of community singing have not been overlooked. The book contains simple folk-songs of many nations; an abun dance of songs of American origin, including spirituals, Indian songs, and songs of patriotism and home; many songs of occasion, Thanksgiving, Eas ter, and especially of Christmas; songs that express the greetings of good fellowship, the lilt of humor and the tenderness of sentiment.
