EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION

IN offering this volume to the church schools both editor and author
have sought to meet a very definite and pressing need—that of supplying

I a body of worthy religious music carefully adapted to children.

Every religious educator knows that worship plays a very necessary
and vital part in the child’s spiritual development. Music is, for childhood
I at least, the most effective stimulus to worship as well as its most natural

mode of expression. But to serve its purpose the music must be within the
range of the child’s comprehension and appreciation, and it must be within
his capacity for vocal expression. It must also be suitable in theme,
inspiring in sentiment, and worthy in aesthetic quality.

The hymnology of the church, great and inspiring as it is, has not
served well the musical needs of children. It was originally written for
adults, both as to words and music, and, with a few notable exceptions, has
been beyond the understanding and the musical capacity of childhood.
The result has been compilations for our Sunday schools consisting for the
most part of hymns good enough in themselves, but unsuited to younger
singers; and, supplementing these, a collection of songs not calculated to
lead to a later appreciation of our great religious hymns.

It is believed that the present volume, is a marked step in advance in
hymnology for children. Great care has been taken in choosing themes, in
versification, and in the music itself to make the selections a stimulus to
worship while at the same time afi'ording the child a suitable instrument for
expression through the voice. Much of the material is new and offered
here for the first time.

Not only is the author herself a musician and composer of note, but
she is also a teacher and director of children’s music in church schools.
Besides having the technical counsel and criticism of many distinguished
musicians in the selection, adaptation, and composition of her materials, she
has had the constant guidanc J, and help of groups of children in the singing
of her songs and hymns and the, use of her worship programs. And of
course the test of actual use the classroom response in feeling, appre-
ciation, and expression—is the final and surest test of any materials.

The inclusion of typical worship programs will prove a welcome feature
to many church schools. Each program is built around a definite theme,

X1

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

xii EDITOR’S INTRODUCTION

and all its parts are selected and adjusted to develop that theme. When
the matter of the program has been thoroughly memorized its effectiveness
will be much greater in the exercise of true worship.

If through A FIRsT BOOK IN HYMNs AND WORSHIP our children find
their love and appreciation for good music increasing, and if through it
they more and more learn to use beautiful and worthy hymns as the
language of their worship, then the purposes of this volume will have been
accomplished.

FOREWORD

THIS book is an attempt to put within access of younger children three
kinds of songs and hymns.

I. A share of those which have been handed down to them from the
past—treasures which they will always want to draw upon in common with
their elders.

II. Selections from representative recent and contemporary writers
whose hearts beat in sympathy with children and whose music is suited to
their developing voices. .

III. New texts and settings which have been created to fill out, taken
together with the other two types, the whole round of a child’s eager in-
terest in life.

If the last group serves in any measure the purpose for which it is made,
it will incite those who value the use of fine poetry and true music in religious
education to set up and maintain ever higher standards for the elements
which are utilized in the training of American children in the fine art of
worship.

The musical contributions of Mr. William R. McAllaster, and his val-
uable counsel in the preparation of the manuscript and in proof correction
are here acknowledged with personal appreciation of his work.

Effort has been made to give due credit to the original sources of all
hymns and tunes which have been used. Inability to find such data. is
responsible for any omissions or errors of this nature.

VICTROLA RECORDS LISTED FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS

The Victrola may be used to supplement, never to supplant, singing
or playing that can be done by the group or individuals in the school. When
there is need for the knowing of some standard religious composition, unusual
solo instruments or voices, unique descriptive music or songs of birds, the
Victrola is an essential part of the equipment of a well-ordered school.

The hearing of the folk songs of different peoples has been shown to be
a vital factor in cultivating the appreciation on the part of the children for
unfamiliar folk, and in stimulating that friendship which is the essence of
genuine missionary effort.

The following list gives some varieties of music which have been found
to evoke gratifying response from children. (Most of the records listed
are double-faced, but only one side is referred to):

On a Spring Day 5

( To be recited before singing hymn)
L0, the winter is past;
The rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;
The fig tree ripeneth her green figs,
And the vines are in blossom;
They give forth their fragrance.

they are speak—ing he will hear, And bless them day by day.
gives us what he knows is best, And hears our ev - ’ry prayer.

1. There’s not a tint that paints the rose, Or decks the li - ly fair,

Where love and beau - ty are not found, For God is ev — ’ry-where.
