Melodies For Little People PDF Download

Excerpt from Songs for Little People: For Use in the Sunday-School, the Kindergarten and the Home IF the wise man who preferred to write the songs of a nation to making its laws could have appointed song-maker's for successive generations of children in every land, there might be today more people moved by concord of sweet sounds, and fewer fit for treason, stratagem, and spoils. Those who are able to reach. The heart of childhood through words, melody, and rhythm may always be counted among the wise who bring their gifts to the child. In order to write songs for children, it is necessary to live with children, to know how to appeal to a child's feeling and understanding. Miss Danielson in her Songs for Little People shows a rare sympathy with the child-life and knowledge of its needs. The work is the result of her actual experience in teaching little ones and writing for them. It is unique in its plan, including songs for every day and songs for Sunday, songs of one stanza for the wee ones, and songs for the older members of the class. The verses of the new songs are simple, childlike and poetic, and it is a real pleasure to find many of the classics of childhood included in the collection. The fine musical quality of the book is due to the original work of Miss Conant, and her renderings of selected melodies from many of the best composers. The list of authors and composers is a notable one. One can heartily wish that this little book may reach many little people throughout the land.
