Second Music Reader Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Second Music Reader

The part songs are made particularly attractive by contrapuntal treatment, by the introduction of the melodic theme in the lower voices, and by voice accompaniments.

The vocal arrangements from the classics reflect the spirit of the original, both melodically and harmonically.

The Plan. The plan underlying the arrangement of the material furnishes an outline for consecutive study; at the same time the material is so grouped that any modification of the plan may easily be made by teachers when desirable.

Suggestive headings and marginal notes make clear the special rhythmic and melodic problems in process of development.

T ne Glossary in each reader is an authority upon which teacher and pupil can depend for definition and representation of musical signs and terms occurring in that reader. 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 respective readers.

The Second Reader of the New Educational Music Course is adapted for study in the average fifth grade.

Part I is devoted to a review of principles made familiar by study of the First Music Reader.
