The sabbath bell : a collection of music for choirs, musical associations, singing-schools, and the home circle ; consisting of : Part I -- Singing school music ; Part II -- Church music ; Part III -- Occasional and concert music by George F. Root
Part First= Singing School Music. Part Second =Church Music page 97. Alphabetical and metrical index of tunes, Anthems and singing school indexed separately. Mr Root solved the issue of old tunes taking up too much space, but being indispensable by printing 24 old tunes on two stave about 1 inch wide and 5 inches long on pages 172-173.
“Music and its notation” section by Lowel Mason. New music and exercise for singing classes. Index of tunes grouped by Key signature. Pages 117 to 118. Music collection begins on page 118. Few “continental” tunes. Many by Root , Mason and Bradbury.
