INTRODUCTION The First Reader of the New Educational Music Course is the first music book to be placed in the hands of the pupil, and forms an integral part of a course for adequate musical instruction in the public schools. In order that the purpose of the book may be thoroughly understood, a brief, comprehensive view of the entire Course is necessary. The Aim of the New Educational Music Course The aim of this Course is to develop in the pupil an intelligent appreciation and enjoyment of good music, a musical and expressive voice, the ability to read music at sight, and the power of musical interpretation. To inspire love of good music. To appreciate the power and beauty of music, the pupil must become familiar with well-written music of various kinds in selections that shall be interesting from his own point of view as well as admirable from that of the critical musician. By familiar association with such music and wisely directed study of it the pupil's taste is cultivated and a love of good music is fostered. With this in view the Course provides a great variety of selections culled from the best available sources. To develop a musical voice. The proper treatment of the child voice is of great importance and has received the utmost attention in these books. No elaborate scheme of voice culture is desirable or practicable in the elementary schools ; but, beginning with the cultivation of the head-tone quality of the child voice through the descending scale, the few simple vital principles 'which induce breath control, proper tone direction, voice quality, and enunciation are presented in specific voice drills and underlie the material of the entire Course. In each grade all selections are so placed in pitch and range as to conserve and foster the pupil's voice at that stage of his development. The aim is to estab- lish early so thoroughly a correct use of the voice that the vocal poise is not lost when the attention is given to the intellectual demands of sight singing. To teach sight singing. Sight singing is the process of determining by an act of reasoning the meaning of signs in musical notation, and singing iii M193171 iv INTRODUCTION accordingly. When rightly taught, it furnishes the very essence of intellectual training and deserves to rank with any other disciplinary study. In sight singing, deductions are made conjointly in time and tune. Various intervals in melodic order, the beat, accent, tones of different duration, meas- ure, rhythm, intermediate tones, and the minor mode — in a word, all musical effects — should be experienced before they are represented. An abundance of attractive sight-singing material is given for reading. New problems are presented one at a time, always carefully graded in diffi- culty, and thus logical mental progress is assured. It must be borne in mind that valuable as sight singing is as a disciplinary study, it is, nevertheless, only a means to the use of music as a cultural study, and to that awakening of the aesthetic faculties which is manifested in musical interpretation. To induce musical interpretation. Musical interpretation is the discovery and expression of the significance and beauty of musical ideas, and it therefore demands the use of material in which there are beauty and meaning to be expressed. This indispensable condition has been abundantly satisfied in the character of the music selected for this Course. Furthermore, aids to inter- pretation are provided not only in the marks of expression — dynamic and tempo signs, phrase and breath marks — but also in the great care with which the relation of words and music has been considered. The character of the poem is always a key to the spirit of the music, and a thoughtful study of the verse as to accent, rhyme, phrasing, and the develop- ment of climax will reveal the rhythmical form and melodic structure of the music. The poems have been selected with quite as much care as the music, to. make sure of intrinsic worth, interest, and beauty from the pupil's stand- point as well as from the literary point of view. In all cases a right and beautiful interpretation of the spirit and content of the words helps to the understanding and expression of the music. The Material of the Course A distinguishing feature. A distinguishing feature of the material through- out the Course is that each number illustrates some well-known characteristic of music, racial or individual, and contains that vital quality called musical contenty which appeals to the inexperienced learner as well as to the trained musician. INTRODUCTION v Basis of choice. Aside from the elements in notation of music, which are noted as they occur in the Course, there has been in the choice of material a constant recognition of the ideal development of the pupil. This includes the physical development resulting from deep breathing, the intellectual devel- opment involved in a systematic study of the subject, and the subtle develop- ment of character which comes from familiarity with good music. From the masters. Music from the masters ranging in variety from the simple folk song to the melodies of the greatest composers of all nationalities appears in the New Educational Music Course. The fields of music, vocal and instrumental, — German, French, Italian, Rus- sian, English, American, — from the one-period song to cantata, opera, oratorio, sonata, and symphony, all have been thoroughly investigated and careful selection has been made from each. Original settings. In addition, many "poems every child should know" have been set to original music by some of the best living composers, so that the Course contains much valuable material which is peculiar to itself. These original settings have been chosen from a large number of contribu- tions, the selection having been made, as were many of those from existent material, by a committee of musicians who were not aware of the composer's identity. Range and character. The song subjects cover the different moods and experiences of children and youth, — the opening and closing of school, work, games, animals, seasons, stories, lullabies, ethics, patriotism, the different aspects of nature, etc. There is variety also in character, the selections including those which are joyous, merry, emotional, plaintive, humorous, and serious, representing vocal and instrumental forms of all kinds. Part songs. Counterpoint instead of parallel harmony prevails to a great extent in all the part music, and variety of arrangement is secured by frequent use of the melodic theme in the lower voices, by rhythmical voice accompani- ments, and by humming accompaniments. Arrangements. Vocal arrangements from the classics reflect the spirit of the original melodically and harmonically. These are the work of musicians recog- nized as exponents of the masters whose compositions they have arranged. vi INTRODUCTION The Plan of the Course In planning the New Educational Music Course the editors have kept con- stantly in mind the fourfold object of the course and the results which may reasonably be expected in the average public school environment. Arrangement of the material, an outline for study. The books are adapted for study, page after page, as arranged in the successive readers. Where teachers find it advisable or desirable to vary the order of presentation, to give special attention to one problem rather than another, or to carry several lines of study simultaneously, the grouping of the material makes such adjust- ment an easy matter. In this case the index serves as a guide. Suggestive headings. As a further help to the grade teacher chapter head- ings and marginal notes make clear the special rhythmic and melodic problems in process of development. The marginal notes accompany only the melodies which contain the first representation of the problem named, except in Part I of the First Reader, where marginal notes are duplicated in each of the nine common keys. The glossary, a helpful guide. Each reader of the course contains a glossary, representing and defining all musical signs and terms appearing in that reader. It is an authority upon which teacher and pupil may depend. At the same time it summarizes for the teacher the technical work which study of the reader develops. The glossaries of the successive books contain such analysis as may logically be presented in connection with the books. The First Music Reader It is assumed that before the pupil begins his study of the First Music Reader he has had experience in rote singing, in the musical use of the voice, in the simple rudiments of time and tune, and in easy sight singing. The First Music Reader provides study for the third and fourth grades. Part I is equally divided among the nine common keys, — C, G, F, D, B-flat, A, E-flat, E, and A-flat. Each key begins with the same degree of simplicity and progresses with the same degree of difiiculty. Part I employs but one sound to the beat in two-quarter, four-quarter, three-quarter, three-eighth, and six-eighth measure, similarly apportioned in the nine common keys. Part II introduces the rhythmic type J ^ and develops the rhythmic figure J___J^- INTRODUCTION vii Part III presents Sharp-four (^4) and Flat-seven (b 7) in the melodic pro- gressions, 5, j:j:4, 5 and 6, b 7, 6, and Rounds. Part IV develops Two-part Song. The songs, selected from the best possible sources, are pure, simple, com- plete, and attractive. Preceding each song are melodies to illustrate every difficulty appearing in the song, approached in such a way as to be easily com- prehended by the pupil. Not only were these preparatory melodies selected with the view of making clear the difficulties contained in the songs, but they were also required to pass the strictest tests as to their own inherent value. They have been approved by the best melodic experts, who were purposely kept in ignorance of the educational nature of their use. That the pupil may more easily grasp its meaning, each melody is carefully phrased, and breath marks appear in each song. Suggestions Ear training. Recognition of musical effects through the sense of hearing, and reproduction of the same by the pupil, are the first steps in musical training. Melodic drill. Melodic intervals (aside from stepwise progressions) as used by the masters of song fall naturally into three groups. Very frequent intervals : 1-3; 3-5; 5-8; 1-8; 5-3; 7-2; 2-5; 5-2; 5-7; 3-8. Frequent intervals : 1-5; 3-6; 5-7; 2-4; 4-7; 5-4; 4-6; 6-8; 1-4; 5-5- Infrequent intervals : 8-4; 2-8; 1-6; 3-7; 1-7; 5-6; 4-6; 4-7; 2-6; 2-6; e-J', 3-6; 3-7; 2-7. Rhythmic drill. There are eight familiar rhythmic types, which may be represented as follows : When J = the beat unit J n /77^ /i^ .Fn JTI jn J :" 3 3 Combination of these rhythmic types into varying rhythmic figures proceeds slowly, only the simplest types appearing in early melodies. Eye training. Mental appreciation of the tones represented by notes, from a glimpse at their staff position in relation to the keynote, grasp of the melody viii INTRODUCTION of an entire phrase, ability to visualize after a brief glance at the printed page, — these cultivate keenness of vision as well as true musical understanding. Exchange of parts. In early part singing, frequent exchange of parts is desirable, pupils assigned to sing the upper part in one song taking the lower in another. Written work. Written work embodying representation of such musical effects as underlie the work of the year, sung or dictated by the teacher for reproduction by the pupil, is valuable for all grades. Individual progress is thus measured, and habits of careful discrimination and observation are inculcated. Song repertoire. No feature of music study will give greater pleasure and profit than committing to memory and singing without books many of the songs of the readers, aiming always at ideal interpretation. Such songs may constitute the "song repertoire," and with attention to grouping will provide musical programs of the highest character. The order of movements typical of the symphony — allegro, andante, scherzo, rondo — suggests the following as an artistic song program. Con spirito^ quick, cheerful : New Year's Days, No. 96. . Lento, slow, graceful: Lullaby, No. 128. Animato, humorous, playful: The Telephone, No. 197. Allegro, gay, lively: The Merry Skaters, No. 159. For correlation of song subjects the following is typical : Evensong, No. 418. All Through the Night, No. 315. The Little Dustman, No. 314. Acknowledgment is due to Messrs.
