FIFTY MODERN ENGLISH SONGS Selected by and Published for THE SOCIETY OF ENGLISH SINGERS Price I5/- net Boosey & Co., Ltd. Sole Selling Agents: Boosey & Hawkes, Ltd. London + New York * Los Angeles * Sydney * Toronto * Cape Town * Paris Printed in England PREFACE. HE songs in this volume have been compiled by the Society of English Singers. There are many existing volumes of classical and non-copyright songs, but this is the first time that a collection of songs by contemporary British composers has been published in book-form, and the Society wishes to express its sincere gratitude to the individual composers, or their representatives, and to the publishers without whose patriotic co-operation the scheme could not have been carried out. The object of those concerned has been to bring within the reach of all a representative set of songs by contemporary, or recent, British musicians with English words and guaranteed as intrinsically good. The book should be invaluable to training colleges, schools and teachers throughout the Empire and of real help to the individual singer, professional or amateur, whose heart is in the right place but who is in need of advice in the matter of selection. Many, if not all, of the songs can be sung as Unison-songs and there is no fee or licence of any sort attaching to their public performance. They have been printed, so far as possible, in the original keys, but many of them are also published separately in other keys, and where this is the case a foot-note to this effect appears on the first page of the song. The compilers have no financial interest in the undertaking, and have therefore no hesitation in recommending it to the public. The present volume, they hope, is only the first of a series.
