Excerpt from The National School Library of Song, Vol. 2: Advanced Solfeggios; Songs of Nature, of the Seasons, of Home; Secular Four-Part Songs The present number of the National School Library of Song contains, like No. 1, material for use in the upper grades of school instruction in music. The selections are almost exclusively secular in character, and represent a considerable variety of styles and subjects. In adapting the selections for school use, care has been exercised to avoid the extreme limits of all the voices. This has been accomplished sometimes by the transposition Of a whole selection, but oftener by partial rearrangement of lower voices, or by the addi tion of small notes to be sung by voices of limited compass. These small notes are always connected by their stems with the notes of that part which they are intended to relieve, and the instructor will, of course, observe in the preparatory study whether it is desirable to direct certain of the singers to sustain the added part. Occasionally, too, these notes will be found to indicate possibilities of enriching the harmony - especially at endings - when there was no other reason for adding them. The tenor part has been treated with especial consideration. It has been retained within the limits f and f sharp, and may therefore be sung by low alto voices as well as by tenors. The practice of assigning low alto voices to a tenor part cannot be too heartily encouraged, since it not only enhances the musical effect, but also adds to the musical training and experience of the Singers.

Late Victorian Scotland had a flourishing music publishing trade, evidenced by the survival of a plethora of vocal scores and dance tune books; and whether informing us what people actually sang and played at home, danced to, or enjoyed in choirs, or reminding us of the impact of emigration from Britain for both emigrants and their families left behind, examining this neglected repertoire provides an insight into Scottish musical culture and is a valuable addition to the broader social history of Scotland. The decline of the music trade by the mid-twentieth century is attributable to various factors, some external, but others due to the conservative and perhaps somewhat parochial nature of the publishers’ output. What survives bears witness to the importance of domestic and amateur music-making in ordinary lives between 1880 and 1950. Much of the music is now little more than a historical artefact. Nonetheless, Karen E. McAulay shows that the nature of the music, the song and fiddle tune books’ contents, the paratext around the collections, its packaging, marketing and dissemination all document the social history of an era whose everyday music has often been dismissed as not significant or, indeed, properly ‘old’ enough to merit consideration. The book will be valuable for academics as well as folk musicians and those interested in the social and musical history of Scotland and the British Isles.
