Subject: RE: School Songbook Index PermaThread From: Nigel Parsons Date: 15 Sep 05 - 01:19 PM Joe: "check this thread every once in a while, and wee if somebody comes up with an answer for you. Are you really suggesting he'll wet himself if he gets an answer? Or does it mean something different over there? CHEERS Nigel
You'll note that this request is from a person who was in the fifth grade in the 1980's. Joe Offer was in the fifth grade in the 1950's. -Joe- |
Subject: Index: The American Song Book From: Nigel Parsons Date: 05 May 07 - 05:06 PM I've just picked up another song book at my local Oxfam shop They had 3 copies, (I nabbed them all!!). The American Song Book (ed) John Horton (pub)E.J.Arnold & Son Ltd Leeds. No date given, no price pre-printed to give an idea of age. Latest dated reference in it is to "The Epic of America 1940" Contents (with melody/accompaniment) are: 1, The Barnyard Song (I Had a Cat) 2, The Swapping song (When I was a little Boy) 3, Turn the Glasses Over 4, Turkey in the Straw 5, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot 6, I Got a Robe 7, Roll the Cotton Down 8, The Plains of Mexico 9, We're All Bound to Go 10, The Little Old Sod Shanty 11, The Shantyman's Life 12, Wait for the Wagon 13, Git Along, Little Dogies 14, The Lone Star Trail 15 The Banks of Sacramento 16, Poor Paddy Works on the Railway 17, She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain 18, Yankee Doodle 19 My Old Kentucky Home 20, Oh! Susanna 21, The Star-Spangled Banner 22, John Brown's Body 23, Battle Hymn of the Republic 24, When Johnny Comes Marching Home 25, Tramp! Tramp! Tramp! The Boys are Marching 26, Dixie 27, America. Some explanation is given with each song, e.g. 10 The Little Old Sod Shanty: "Shanty" here has nothing to do with sailors' songs. It is about the early pioneers who struck westwards in search of new lands to settle in, and came to the treeless prairies where they could no longer build themselves the log cabins they had been used to in the mountains and forest country. So they dug hollows or trenches in the ground, piled sods of turf around like bricks, and made a roof of turf held up by cross poles. This was a "sod shanty"" CHEERS Nigel |

Subject: Index: Songs of Beta Theta Pi From: JohnInKansas Date: 29 Jul 11 - 02:07 AM Probably really stretching the definition of "school book" but in case someone is interested I have a pdf of "Songs of Beta Theta Pi" ©1942. I picked it up as two books, labelled 1954 and 1955, but they're the same book with an "annual cover." I was never a frat rat, and IMO these songs are incredibly boring and mostly pretty maudlin, but I needed to get it out of the bookcase to get some space and it only took a few hours to scan. The original scan, at "publishing quality" is 289,503 KB and my email won't swallow it to send to anybody. A reduction to "web quality" brought it down to 37,718 KB but I haven't tried it to see if it's "sendable." The "web sized" book should print okay at about 150 dpi. I'm not sure whether my pdf mangler will let me go any smaller. I also have an individual file of each of the 101 songs, plus a TOC and an Index, but even those (web quality) are big enough that they'd have to sent in individual emails to gain much on the bandwidth barrier. One at 2 MB, the others smaller but average probably near 1 MB. The Table of Contents only shows 4 songs, so I guess they just weren't much on keeping up to date. The Index is a little better: Songs of Beta Theta Pi All's Well With Sigma Rho (Ragan) Alpha Eta Song Alpha Marching Song (Brown) Alpha Omega Song (Moseley) Alpha Zeta Song (Blakeslee) Alternate Doxology (Tunison—Lozier) As Betas Now We Meet (Coulter) At the Beta Shrine (Williams) Banquet Song (Seaman) Beta Alpha Coming-in Song (Cahall) Beta Alpha Marching Song (Cahall) Beta And Idaho (Sower) . Beta Days (Byrd—Ganiard) Beta Doxology (Tunison) Beta Friendship (Babcock) Beta Sires And Beta Sons (Lozier) Beta Sweetheart (Warner) Beta, We Praise Thee (Williams) Beta Theta Marching Song (Ford) Beta Theta Pi Betas Of Long Ago (Edwards) Beta's Bonds (Black) Beta's Emblems (Brooks) Chi Chapter March (Fifield) Clan Wooglin Marches (H. Lozier) Duke And Beta (Shepard) Fair, Fair Beta (Moore) Fathers To Sons (Babcock) Fires Of True Friendship (Sower) From Classic Halls (Norton) Gamma Beta Chapter Song (Smith) Good Beta's Sing Forever (Foss) Hymn Of Alpha (Swan) In Beta Theta Pi In Old Chi (Leach) In The Old Porch Chairs (H.

Lozier) Wooglin's Ode (Dunn) Most songs are 4-part scores. Perhaps a half dozen of the titles are text only. If anybody's really interested, PM an email addy and I can try to send any song you want. I could even try to send the smaller version of the whole book, although I think succes odds are pretty marginal. (I really can't see why anybody would want any of them: as I said - I wasn't a fratboy so maybe I just don't understand.) (I have no idea what schools BTP was ever at. Maybe somebody feels like looking them up.) John |
Subject: Index: Songs of the Campus From: JohnInKansas Date: 10 Jun 12 - 12:15 AM Another stretch on the "school songbooks" category, but there are too many "Index" threads here for me to pick a better one for "College Songs" so I'll put my latest find here. Feel free to move it to a more appropriate place if it works better in another thread. Not particularly old or even "classic" but with a snatch-sampling of what might have been sung at US campuses ca the 1930s (?). A few songs for which only texts are given are generally adjacent to scored pieces with a "tune of" reference. Since quite a few songs of the kind are to the tune of others of the same ilk, the music for "just like" tunes may be as useful as the "words" associated with a particular U., for those with an interest in such stuff. Scores generally 4-part, suitable for vocal harmony but probably sufficient for piano accompaniments for the average choir accompanist. Several of the songs have notations of "by permission of ..." but don't clearly indicate whether the source giving permission was an author, composer, or © holder. Clues more than info for sourcing(?). A personal "curiosity" is one song "from my own alma mudder" that was claimed to be "lost" and could NOT BE FOUND at the Institute ca 1958. Fragments were found in a couple of "frat books" but no complete verse(s). I had not noticed that it's in this book until I spotted it during scanning for my digital archive. As usual, my "archive PDF" is too large for easy transmittal, at about 137 MB. The whole book could probably be made small enough for email, if someone wanted it enough to put up with my whining, or individual songs could be fairly easily extracted to make printable (PDF or JPG perhaps) copies of a few pages if there's a need.

Subject: RE: School Songbook Index PermaThread From: GUEST,L W Yoder Date: 28 Jan 16 - 02:28 PM In music class in the Pennsylvania school I attended in the mid-1950s we used two hard-bound songbooks of a series. One was silver and the other was gold. I'd say they were about 7 inches by 9 inches and maybe 3/4 inch thick. One of them contained a song with the following words (as best I recall them):
I see them come, I see them go, their clouds are in the sky, Sometimes a camel train goes bound for far Cathay, Sometimes a fleet of winged ships sails on for some blue bay, Oh I have seen Crusaders ride in suits of silver spun, And watched their banners floating high, their lances catch the sun, One day twas just at sunset I saw where heaven waits, For I saw seven angels pass through tall golden gate." |
Subject: RE: School Songbook Index PermaThread From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Jan 16 - 03:28 PM Hi, L.W.- There were several series of U.S. school songbooks published in the mid-1950s that had colorful illustrations inside and on the cover. I'm thinking your books might have been from the Silver Burdett Music Hour series that was published in the 1930s, but probably still in use in the 1950s. I have only two books from this series, and both have an almost-metallic finish on the cover, with an embossed title. Music of Many Lands and Peoples has a silver cover. Music Highways and Byways has a cover that I'd call bronze, but one might call it gold. Authors were McConathy, Beattie, and Morgan. -Joe- Please see this thread (click) for discussion of the song. |

Subject: RE: School Songbook Index PermaThread From: GUEST Date: 17 Jan 22 - 03:00 PM I'm not precisely sure on the etiquette on these forums. I'm interested in something Nigel Parsons posted above. I'm a music teacher in Kansas in the US, and I've been working on researching the song "Tongo", which might be Polynesian, but folks seem to have trouble finding an authentic source for it. It's mentioned as being in the Spring 1994 "Time and Tune" Vox Box, and I was wondering if there is any bibliographical information listed for it in that issue? Would it be possible to see a scan of it? Thank you! |
Subject: RE: School Songbook Index PermaThread From: Nigel Parsons Date: 07 Jun 22 - 12:49 PM Hi, Guest. Sorry to not have responded at the time, but I don't keep track of this thread. There is no biographical info on the Time & Tune page for this song, but there may be in the 'Teacher's Notes' which I have somewhere. The page with the song is easy to supply as a scan, as I have digitised the whole of my Time & Tune collection. If you are checking back, just leave a similar message on the page specific to Time & Tune and I will normally respond within a couple of days. (I keep an eye out for new entries there!) |

So a Welsh song translated to English will start with the Welsh title, and vice versa. To what extent they would classify as 'folk' I leave it to the reader to decide. I will probably start a new thread just on this book, and including individual songs/tunes where I find they are not already in Mudcat (or where there are significant (in my view) differences.) The title says 'Part I' and it appears (from the alphabetical listing) that there would also have been a 'Part II'. |
