Excerpt from Excelsior Song Book: A Collection of Songs, Chants and Hymns, Designed for Juvenile Classes, Schools and Seminaries, Containing a Complete System of Elementary Instruction in the Principles of Musical NotationThird, the Mutual Adaptation of the Music and the Poetry. The music should sing the sentiment of the words, and the words should speak the feeling of the music. When the words are joyous, the music should be so, when they are sad, so must the music be. When the sense and feeling of the words pauses, the music should pause and when they uninterrupted, the music should ¿ow on unbroken. These statements are so. Obviously founded on principle, that they seem almost super¿uous, and the author has only made them because observation has shown him that they are sometimes forgotten.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
