The columns at its right indicate those keys which require sharps for their signatures, viz. : G key (one sharp) ; D key (two sharps) ; A key (three sharps) ; E key (four sharps) ; B key (five sharps) ; and FJt key (six sharps). The columns at the left of the central (C) column, denote those keys which require flats for their signatures, viz. : P key (one flat) ; Bb key (two flats); Eb key (three flats) ; Ab key (four flats) ; Db key (five flats) ; and Qb key (six flats). All black syllables and figures denote Diatonic Tones. All colored syllables, figures, and characters denote Chromatic Tones. All tones, the tendency from which is upward, are called sharp, and are here represented by red. All tones, the tendency from which is downward, are called flat, and are here indicated by ijfr^xfu. To find the signature of a given key, compare its "black" tones (Diatonic Tones) with those in the central column (C or Modal Key), the point or points at which they difier being noted will give the desired signature: e.g., to ascertain the signature of the key of G, compare its diatonic tones (black) with those in the central column, when it will be found that they agree (black in both) at all points except 7 (ti), which, in the central column, is red. By glancing across to the last right-hand column it wUl be seen that the point of difierence is FJ, which is the signature of the key of G.

Thb object In preparing the present volume has been to place before the Church Choral Unions, as well as classes generally throughout the States, a thoroughly comprehensive and progressive text- book. It follows the Method which has been adopted with surprising results by the Church Cho- ral Unions in New York, Brooklyn, Washington, D.C., Buffalo, Norwalk, Conn., Elizabeth, N. J„ Al- legheny City, Pa., Quincy, 111., etc., etc. No method has ever had a better chance, and none has mora perfectly satisfied all demands. Still we do not claim to teach anything new. It is simply a new way of teaching the old things. Teachers will find this method laid down in great detail in a small volume entitled " Palmer's Rudi- mental Class Teaching,"* a book which can be carried in one's pocket, and which will sug- gest to the teacher the best way of introducing new points. While it was made for another set of studies, it can be readily adapted to the exercises in this ■work. The first lesson should be given before books are distributed, thus enabling the teacher to keep the eyes of the pupils centered upon him. The follow- ing, from the little book alluded to above, will give an idea of the opening lessons : — RUDIMENTAL CLASS TEACHING. f The teacher remarks that all present will be con- ' lidered as beginners, and will be expected to comply I with every request he may make, and although some nay hav« studied music they must regard themselves, for the time being, as beginners, and by answering questions and otherwise complying with his re- quests, encourage the younger members. He also remarks that in learning to sing, as in learning to talk, we depend largely upon imitation. The child hears its parents speak the little words it is trying to learn hundreds of times before it can place its vocal organs in proper position to pronounce them; so in learning to sing, we listen to tones produced by the teacher, and try to imitate them. He then says. — I. " Listen, and Imitate the tone you hear." a. He sings the tone C, second space of bass staff, J to the syllable la, giving a the sound it has in the word father, taking care that the tone is pure, neither too long nor so short as to be abrupt — also being careful that the position in which he stands is such as he would wish to have imitated, namely, the body erect, the shoulders thrown slightly back. He explains th* position and says, 3. " All try to sing that tone." They try, and are more or less successful. After allowing them to re- peat it a number of times, he asks them to listen and produces the tone D, to the syllable la, as before, and says, 4. " Was that the tone which yon sung, or a new one T " A new tone." 5. " Sing the new tone." •Published by Me»sn. Tohh Crukh ft Co., Nn. 6 Uniaa Square, New York.

They sing. 8. We will call that tone one and the new one tim. If I should ask you to sing one, what tone would yoo sing ?" They answer by singing one, 9. " If I should ask you to sing two, what tone would you sing?" They answer by singing two. 10. He sings E and asks, " Did I sing one, two Of a new tone T "A new tone." 11. " All sing the new tone." They sing. 12. "How many tones have we learned?" " Three." 13. "What is the name of the first?" "One." " What is the name of the second ?" " Two." " Ob- serving the same order, what shall we call the new tone?" "Three." 14. The teacher should allow the pupils to prac- tice these three tones at some length, after which he calls upon them to sing One, then Two, then Three. He then requests them to listen, and sings F. 15. " Was the tone which I sung one of the three we have learned, or a new tone T " A new tone." 16. " All try to sing the new tone." They sing, 17. "What would be a good name for this new tone?" "Four." 18. After practicing the four tones upward and downward many times, the teacher says, 19. "Sing One." They sing. "Sing Two." "Three." "Four." They sing. He requests them to listen, and sings G, to the syllable la as before. 20. " Did I sing one of the four or a new tone?*' "A new tone." 21. "Sing the new tone." They comply and he asks, 22. ** What shall we call this new tone ?" " Five." 23. The teacher dwells upon these five tones, until the pupils are familiar with them, then intro- duces A, B and C in the same manner and says, 24. "These eight tones form the Diatonic Scale, which is the foundation of the entire musical struct- ure. As soon as you have learned everything con- cerning this scale and its surroundings, 3'ou will have learned all that can be learned about music." 25. After practicing the scale carefully, ascend- ing and descending, the exercise may be varied by requesting the pupils to " sing One twice; Two twice; Three twice, &c., up and down." This may be fol- lowed by asking them to " sing One three times } Two three times, &c., pausing to take a deep breath after every third tone." 26. Great care should be taken in the first les- sons, regarding the correct manner of using the respiratory organs, as well as the vocal organs; breath should be taken by direct action of the chest and abdominal muscles, thus relieving the throat and lungs of unnecessary effort, which only tends to weary and weaken them. 27. "We commonly follow the Italian plan of giving each tone a name. One is called Do ; two, Ri ; three, Mi," &C. 28. "What is the new name of One?" "Do." "Of Two?" "Re." "Of Three?" " Mi," &c. 29. The teacher should be careful to have the pupils pronounce these syllables correctly, one of PREFACl the objects in applying different names to the tones is that we may practice tlie several vowel sounds, giving the long sound of o to Do, the long sound of io. la. m :q==|i -is: — ^- * — " — ^ Rest is near - ing, toil is end - ing, Home-ward now our path is bend-ing.

Throughout the Senior Grade every piece should be practiced by syllables until all its tones are sung in time and in tune, and all modulations well understood. Less haste will bring greater epeed, for every piece which is well leiirned imparts an added strength to the learner, wliich will be of great assistance in overcoming the obstacles of all future efforts. > The writer is of the opinion that the entire Grade should first be sung by syllables, all being obliged to beat the lime, then return and apply the words, with . expression, etc. There is great danger in abandoning syllables and beating too soon, as all are apt to bluiid- >;r through once, and, with quick ears, catch their sev- eral parts by rote, and sing very well the second time, thus passing for readers, where?.s, if left to their own powers, unsustained by an instrument, they would make sorry work of reading. When the syllable names are thoroughly im- pressed upon the mind as names of tonc-relalions, the learner has progressed a long way toward an in- telligent knowledge of tone-combinations, without which no one can be called a good reader, for a good reader should always know what relatioa the tone which he is singing sustains to the Tonic. Two terms cannot be called a long time to be confined to *he practice of syllables and beating, if, in those two terms, the pupils shall have acquired a knowledge of tone-relationships. In all cases in this grade (as in the Junior grade) the study should be without instrumental acccm- paniment, the teacher merely giving them the pitch Middle C, and obliging the class to go from that pitch to their new Tonic, spell the tonic chord and at once spread out to their several pitches in the fiist chord of the piece they are about to study. And after going through with the piece once or twice, re- quire them to spell and pronounce the Tonic Chord, then compare the pitch with the correct tone on the instrument, thus clearly showing any deviation from pitch while studying. This plan, persistently ad- hered to in the study of everypiece, will liave atelling effect upon the intelligence of the singers, the al- most immediate results of which will be extremely satisfactory. The first few minutes of each lesson should be spent in Practising Scales and Chords. The follow- ing plan is used in our Church Choral Unions, and may be of use to conductors : 1st. All sing the pitch C from memory, and then compare it with the instrument. 2d. The Diatonic Major Scale ascending and de- scending. 3d. The Diatonic Minor Scale (Harmonic) from same pitch, up and down. 4th. The Melodic Minor up and down (always start- ing on C.) 5th. Up with m.ijor and down with harmonic minor. 6th. Up with harmonic minor and down with major. 7th. Up with major, down with melodic minor. 8th. Up with melodic minor and down with major. 9th. Up with harmonic minor and down with mel- odic minor. toth. Up with the melodic minor and down with harmonic minor. nth. Spell and pronounce the Tonic Chord for- ward and backward. r2th. Spell and pronounce the Super-Tonic Chord forward and backward. 13th. Spell and pronounce the Mediant Chord for- ward and backward. 14th. Spell and pronounce the Sub-Dominant Chord forward and backward. 15th. Spell and pronounce the Dominant Chord fos ward and backward. i6th. Spell and pronounce the Dominant Chord \t the lower octave. 17th. Spell and pronounce the Sub-Mediant Cb.ord in the lower octave. i8th. Spell and pronounce the Sub-Tonic Chord (re. solving it into the Tonic Chord). 19th,. Spell, pronounce and resolve the Dominant 7th chord major. 20th. The same spelled backward. 2ist. Spell and pronounce the Dominant 7th of the minor key (mi, si, ti, re) resolving it into the minor Tonic. 22d. Again spell, pronounce and resolve the m.ajor Dom. 7th. (These dominant 7th chords should always begin on the pitch C.) 23d. Spell, pronounce and resolve the Diminished 7th chord (always spelling it backward, fa, re, ti, si). At first this Diminished 7th chord should follow the Dominant 7th chord, as its tones are the same (with one exception), it will be much more easily comprehended. The practice of the above schedule will require only about 8 minutes, and should be strictly adhered to at the opening of each lesson, without variation. After which — 24th. Turn to Exercises in Rhythmics, page 146, and sing the first four numbers, each lesson commencing at the first number and going one number further, and when done with them (wliich will be at about the 8th or 9th lesson) — «5^h. Turn to the Cadences, page 149, and sing three or four numbers each lesson until all ar» familiar; then — a6th. Turn to Choir and Chorus drill, page 150, and practice four or five formulas each lesson. Thus the first 16 or 20 minutes of each lesson will be spent in the most profitable manner pos. sible, after which proceed with the study of the fol lowing pages in the order therein set forth. At No. 227, page 116, it becomes necessary to ex- plain Complementary Signatures, which may be done as follows; — Complementary signatures are those which indicate two different keys that are re- presented by the same degrees of the staff (as E, 4 sharps, and E flat, 3 fiats). Sharp signatures always have their complements in flat signatures, and vice versa, the united number of signs being seven, thus : Sharps 123456 Flats 654321 7 7 7 7 7 7 To ftnd the complement of any given signature, subtract the number of its signs frorfk seven, and the remainder (in the opposite kind of signs) will be the desired complement, e. g. What is the comple- mentary signature of two sharps ? Ans. Two from seven leave five, hence five flats and two sharps are complementary signatures. Practical teachers will at once see the usefulness of this with classes— for hav. ngonce Iparncd to read, for instance in F (one flat), they can read equally well in F sharp (s« sharps). The fact, however, should not be lost sight of, that the two keys involved by complementary signatures are not alike in an3'thinif except the representation, and that Ae doctrine oi complementary sigL\atui«s iK only usefu." while Icara* New York.

Written March 8th, 1878. Words and Music by H. K. Palkbb. 1. There's a Kose that is blooming for you, friend, There's a Rose that is blooming for me ; 2. Long a - go in the val ley so fair, friend, Far a - way by the beauti - ful sea, 3. All in vain did they crush this fair flow'r, friend. All in vain did they shatter the tree. Its per-f ume is per-vad - ing the world, friend, Its per-fume is for you and for me. This pure Rose in its beauty first bloom'd, friend. And it blooms still for you and for me. For its roots, dee p-ly bed-ded, sprang forth, friend. And it blooms still for you and for me. Rose that blooms for yon, Its per - fume is for you and for me. * Of the many names given to our Savionr, the Eose of Sharon is the most beautiful. This little hymn was written on the shores of the Mediteranean, amid the fragrance of ever-blooming roses, and beneath the matcMess beauty of Italian skies. Thoughts of the Holy Land on the farther shore, and of the purity and loveHuess of the life of our Saviour mingled unconsciously with the surround' ing beanty, and took form in this little poem and melody.
