BOSTON NEW YORK CHICAGO Copyriplit,19()H,by Frederic H.Kipley and H.L.lleartz »i « » PREFACE SONG DEVELOPMENT Consists of a series of brief tuneful studies and songs especially adapted to the cultivation of the ears and voices of little children. Emphasis is placed upon tonality rather than words which are in every case few and simple. The first four studies are for uniting the voices on a single tone. Interest is aroused and sustained by the accompaniments which are delightful little tunes. The second group of studies is in the form of little songs in which the tonality follows the chord development. Each tone is supported by the piano. The movement of the voices is slow and graceful, the words are selected with spe- cial reference to their vocal qualities, and the piano accompaniment is simple and pleasing. The third division consists of a group of clever scale songs whose words are selected from familiar nursery rhymes. The fourth group consists of new settings for familiar subjects with some original verses. Here the tone development of the preceding sections is fully applied. The fifth group consists of selected familiar songs in which the tonality is distinctly the prominent feature. A few songs to be sung by the teacher, to the children, such as " Ding, Dong, Bell!" and"The WindJ'are introduced to enablt the teacher to illustrate the larger uses of tone expression. The last group consists of instrumental numbers for marching, running, skipping, and similar exercises intended for the cultivation of graceful rhythmia movements. The book is intended as a supplement to the many excellent collections now in use. It supplies material for a depart- ment of child culture which is often neglected. q 3 5 714? ■- GROUP I Four tone studies, with piano accompaniment, for uniting the voices 1 Tone G Page 5 II Tone C .

The piano accompaniment will secure attention, and add interestand pleasure to the exercise. A minute or two may well be spent on these studies at the opening of each singing period. 13505-123 TONE STUDY I Smoothly -9^ -«-=- * 00 1 ^ X 00 J. u -^ ^ p :a=f= ?^ ^ f • f ^ i-i ^ » I I ^^ :^=± ^ f » fc=ic ¥ * ^1 ^ 3 zee =§? 00 00 00 ^ ^ ^ 00 ^ =^ f f W -Ol ;*- A « ^Mfc & i ^ » -e- isaos - 123 Copyright, 1908, by Frederic H.RipIcy and H.L.Heartz International Copyright Secured TONE STUDY II i Quickly 4 11 ~n- j^^ ^ % 4 ti W > ):4 , f -^4 " ^ =1=: -«- m \ >m -e- 7 ^ A ^ J'iJ r # 1^* 1^ H ^ 5 #- Jt 331 Z5S1 i w •' 331 :^ 7 :» ^ ^ "TT- 7 ± ^ V j"TJ S ^ i 2111 TT- > ♦ L ^ M ^ ^ ^ i .^ ^ «5'?o- 123 TONE STUDY III Gracefully VHS— ^ ^ ±fc: Ah.

Who killed Cock Robin? . .• 28 I-3.i05-J:i3 DIRECTIONS The development of musical appreciation along the line of least resistance takes us over the fundamental chords in the order in which they are presented in the follow- ing songs; this fact, however, will not prevent the use of the songs in any order and for any purpose which conditions may require. It is essential, however, that the move- ment should always be graceful, and that the piano accompaniment be so well learned that no errors mar the effect. i.iryor, - 12S SUNSHINE BRIGHT 11 With aniyruition $ ^^^ -&- ^ 4 o — j shine Sun shine bright, Sun bright P^ f i i -o- -o- U * Lr ^ r F p f=r y melodie marcato ^ i * r r r ^ 4=^ ^ -»- Fol lows night, Fol lows night. m ^ "^^ =§= ^ ^^ T J: J: i -er -O. i ^m T 1. 3.505- rj:i r 12 TIiME FLIES!

The tone study and chord study which has gone before should be briefly reviewed with each lesson. This will quicken the ears and stimulate interest so that the scale song will be readily sung after a little practice. Much depends upon the entire nlastery of the song by the teacher before a presentation is made. The accompaniment should receive special attention. 13505 -12:i EVER ONWARD 31 Strict march time ^m rxa -o- ^ -HXL March - ing down, down the hill, Then we turn and ^ i^^^ ^^ -o- 31: < J ( J < ' < r < J < J r=f=f Tyrr -» — = — d — ^ St f < Ii» J J / r < r < r 1 . < J ^s ^ ^^ ^ ^^ J ij. < » ^^ ^ # * m :2t Up the hill wo go, And then we're Ev - er on-ward for we're nev - er still. i ^ i i ^^^ ^^ d 1 ^ fWT^ ^ r i ')>H J J J ^ ^ ¥ 32= f ^^ r f^ t3r,or,-i2.? 32 NURSERY RHYME MISTRESS MARY Flowing rhythm "^ r r i r -r irr r i - ^ G-^ Mis - tres« Ma - ry, quite con - tra - ry, How does your gar - den grow? ^^i ^ i-lj, j. ^m^ wm 3 i ^m ?^ ^^^^ r »i^ r rr r r ^s f *T i i ^ I F r p T Tsr r s g^ ^ ^i=^ With eock-le shells, and ^^m sil - ver bells, And col-um-bines all in a row. m^ ^^^. ^ ^ P^£ ^ ^ :t * 321 T FT rf^ ^ ^ 13505-123 33 ROBIN-A-BOBBIN XURSERY RHYME Quick waltz time ^MTir 3;^ ^^ 1221 -or Rob in - a - Bob bin Bent his bow; i'H i .
