by Carolyn Sue Peterson
On This Page
Description
This is an index to more than 5,000 songs and variations contained in 298 children's books published between 1909 and 1977. A few collections, published primarily as adult books but containing a large number of children's songs, have also been included. Only song books that contain music as well as lyrics have been indexed, with the exception of a few individual songs published in picture book format without music. The Index is divided into three parts. The first part, the LIST OF BOOKS show more INDEXED arranged alphabetically by author, contains complete bibliographical information on every song book, and assigns every one a location code. The TITLE AND FIRST LINE INDEX, contains song titles and first lines in one alphabet. First lines are printed in italic to distinguish them from titles, which are printed in roman. Each entry includes a title, or a first line, followed by a location code and page number. The SUBJECT INDEX lists song titles only, under more than 1,000 subject headings and cross references, alphabetically arranged. INDEX TO CHILDREN'S SONGS should prove a practical reference tool for all those who wish to find the music or lyrics of songs for children and young people-librarians, teachers in elementary and secondary schools, music instructors, children's entertainers, camp counselors, parents, and young people themselves. In particular, the wide range of headings in the Subject Index will be useful to anyone who must prepare programs for special occasions, whether in school or elsewhere. show lessTags
