In the 1970s-1980s, Silver Burdett put out a new series called Silver Burdett Music. Volumes 1-6 (Grades 1-6) list the first author either as Elizabeth Crook or Bennett Reimer. Some are labeled Centennial Edition. Again, there are Teachers Editions, which include more information than the student-use volumes, and are mostly hard cover. Most copies are paperback.

Are these revisions, with partly different songs and arrangement of content from the editions of the 1950s, etc.?

Indexing all of the volumes through the years would be daunting. What was the content of the books in 1890; 1900; 1910; 1930; 1960; etc.? With analysis and comment. this would easily be a topic for a Master's thesis.

Series objectives are stated in terms of "seven behaviors": Perceiving; Reacting; Producing, Conceptualizing; Analyzing, Evaluating; Valuing (Joe, keep these in mind as you study the songs- Sister Brunhilda with ruler in hand, your old music Teach).

Q, my music teacher was Sister John Bosco, and I was in love with her. She said that the other alto and I were "really sharp" - and we took that as a compliment.
