Itis said that “A good singer is born, not made)’ and one’ might almost say that “A good teaching song is born,not made,” in other words, a song uncon - sciously either possesses the necessary characteristics, or not,from the moment of its inception in a composer's brain. In compiling the present edition it has been my endeavour to put forward only such songs as embody the needed qualifications. Some well-known standard numbers were practically indispensable, but I have gathered together a great number that are entirely unhackneyed, the bulk being in English, since it is my firm belief that English singers should give their greatest attention to singing in their own language and singing it well. In some cases I have permitted myself to shorten a symphony, or facilitate an accompaniment,etc.,as teachers generally play for their pupils and cannot afford to be too much pre-occupied with the accompaniments. All foreign songs have been provided with singable English versions, but it is not suggested that, during study, these should be used in preference to the originals, which haye been included for practise in foreign tongues, Lastly, as the ear is much improved by occasional singing without accomp- animent, T have added one unaccompanied song-study to each collection. The contents of the remaining four Volumes are enumerated at the end of this Volume. Liza Lehmann. xe 10 un wz 25932 Volume 1.— SOPRANO. Contents. DAWN, GENTLE FLOWER... = = 7 - STBRNPALE BENNETT.
