9. PREFACE.
1 HE design of this selection of Sacred Music, is to furnish congregations
who sing without a choir, with appropriate tunes. That this mode of singing is
best calculated to promote devotion, is believed by most of the churches in this vi-
cinitv. Music performed by a choir will be more perfect, than when attempted by
the congregation at large ; but what is wanting in the excellence of execution,
will be more than compensated by the manifest propriety of making the praise of
God, the duty of every individual who enters his courts. It is also well arranged
for choirs.
The tunes in this book are generally simple melodies. Such music is better
adapted to words, and certainly more appropriate to the solemn purposes of devo-
tion, than the more exquisite, but complex pieces of composition, which are perform-
ed with difficultv, and want the execution of a Master, to sing them with accura-
cy and effect. The compiler has not attempted to gratify his taste, by collecting
pieces of admirable music, which may please the ear of a mere amateur. He has
endeavored to form a book which shall be permanently useful to the churches, and
which may assist and improve a good taste for the delightful science of music.
That christians have been criminally negligent, in their exertions to improve
this part of worship, is unhappily too manifest to be questioned. In most of our
churches, the airs that are performed, are learned without effort, and sung without
accuracy.—They are caught by the ear, and many who attempt them, have no
knowledge of the science of music, and no pretensions to an acquaintance with
the art or singing. If the angels veil their faces when the heavens echo the music
that flows from their golden harps before the throne of God : what excuse can be of-
fered for the inhabitants of his footstool, who do not make a serious attempt to
praise hiin with reverence ?
Spiritual Songs are most important assistants to Devotion. When our singing
is performed with propriety and skill, it warms and elevates our affections. The
krger the number of those who join in this duty, the greater is the necessity that
they should be acquainted with the principles of music, and be ^skilful in their ap-
plication. No person can be justified in ^interrupting the devotion of others, by
his discordant, unskilful attempts, to join in a service which he cannot improve,
but which he is sure to injure.—And if he will not learn, or cannot be taught ta
sing properly, he had better be silent; "For if the trumpet give an uncertain
sound, who shall prepare himselffor the battle?"
10. PREFACE.
To promote this useful art, and to produce uniformity among " Fellow Wor-
shippers," is an interesting object which has been humbly attempted in this book.
Surely its importance entitles the subject to more attention, than it usually re-
ceives.
A few of these tunes were composed by American authors ; but most of them
are from the pens of European Masters. They are printed in the octavo form, be-
cause it is thought the most convenient.—A Gamut is added for the use of learn-
ers.
The Hymns and Set Pieces, are intended to be sung occasionally, and the words
accompany them, as they are not to be found in the Psalm Books in common use.
It was intended to arrange the tunes alphabetically : but it was found that the
book would contain more than was anticipated, and the arrangement was interrup-
ted. Should another edition be called for, this will be remedied. Few books will
be found to contain more music, in a smaller space, or at a less price.
To make an useful selection, has been the only object of the compiler. If the
worship of God in his owp Congregation, and in any ,of the Churches shall be as-
sisted by it, he will be fuller rewarded. He commends it to the favor of God, and
to the service of his people.
Albany, (N. Y.) January, 1817.
11. CONCISE INTRODUCTION
TO
PRACTICAL MUSIC
JVluSIC is written on and between five parallel lines, called a Staff; above
or below which, when necessary, other parallel lines are used, which are denomi-
nated Ledger lines.
The first seven letters of the alphabet are employed to designate both the inter-
vals of the Staff and their appropriate sounds.
The position of the Letters is determined by the respective Clefs. The G Clef,
in modern music, is always situated on the second line : the F Clef on the fourth
line; the C Clef varies its position, being found on the first, second, third or
fourth line.
Example.

is called C, and the other letters invariably occur in the order above represented.
12. INTRODUCTION.
In singing by note, the syllables, mi, faw, sol, law, are generally used. The
natural place of mi, is in B. But mi may be removed to other letters in the Staft
by means of Flats or Sharps, set at the beginning of a tune, which, in this situation,
are called the Signature. Thus if a flat be placed on
Hie
B, mi is in E
If B and E be flat, mi is in A
If B, E and A be flat, mi is in D
If B, E, A and D be flat, mi is in G
If B, E, A, D and G be flat, mi is in C
If F be sharp, mi is in F
If F and C be sharp, me in C
If F, C and G be sharp, mi is in G
If F, C, G and D be sharp, mi is in D
If F, C, G, D and A be sharp, mi is in A
When the place of mi is determined, that of the other syllables before mentioned,
may be easily ascertained. For, if proceeding from the place of mi, the lines and
spaces, both ascending and descending, be taken successively, faw, sol, law will oc-
cur twice above mi, and law, sol, faw, twice below it, when mi returns in either
case.
Example, in the natural key of C.
faw sol law faw sol law mi faw mi law sol faw law sol faw m:
m^mmmmmm
B mi faw sol law faw sol law mi faw mi law sol faw law sol faw mi

DEFINITIONS.
A Brace shows how many parts are performed at the same time.
The Single Bar divides the movement into equal portip is.
The interval between two single bars, is called a measure.
13. INTRODUCTION. Ill
The Semibreve equals, in the time of its performance, two Minims, four Grot di-
ets, eight Quavers, sixteen Semiquavers, or thirty-two Demisemiquavers. The
Minim, therefore, has Half the time of the Semibreve ; the Crotchet, half that of
the Minim, &c.
Rests are marks of silence. The Semibreve Rest fills a bar, in all modes of
time : the other Rests have the time of the notes whose names they bear.
A Double Bar, shows the end of a strain.
A Direct, designates the place of the note immediately following it in the next
succeeding stall*.
Marks of Distinction indicate that the notes over which they are set, must be
sung with unusual brevity.
A Breve has twice the time of a Semibreve.
A Point placed at the right hand of a note or rest, adds to its time one half of
its own value.
Figure 3, placed over or under any three notes, reduces tbem to the time of two
notes of the same denomination.
A Sharp, placed before a note, raises it half a tone.
A Flat depresses the note before which it is set, half a tone.
A Natural restores notes, whose sounds have been altered by a Flat or Sharp,
to their primitive tone.
Flats and Sharps, set at the beginning of a tune, have influence to the end of
it, unless their effect is destroyed by a Natural.
Flats and Sharps occurring in the course of the movement, are denominated
accidental. They affect, in general, those notes which they immediately precede,
and those of the same letter, which occur in the same measure.
The Pause, or Hold, indicates that the note or rest beneath it, may have its time
prolonged at the discretion of the performer.
The Close .shows the end of a tune.
Of Choosing Notes, any one may be sung.
The Slur, '^ indicates that the notes over or under which it is placed are to be
sung to the same syllable.
A Repeat, :S: or thus," f- — shows what part of a tune is to be sung
f— over again.
Figures 1, 2, set at the close of a repeated passage, signify that the note under
figure 1, is to be sung before repeating, and the note under figure 2, at the end of
the repetition.
Of Time.
There are three species of Time, viz : Common, Triple and Compound.—
!)f Common Time there are four varieties, which are distinguished by appropriate
signs.
The sign of the first nearly resembles the letter C, thus,
JJ ** indicates the
lowest movement in this species of Time : its measure note, is the Semibreve
;
i.nd in general, it has four beats in each measure.
i
The second is marked thus,
J £ The Semibreve is also its measure note, and
t is generally sung with two beats to each measure.
14. iv INTRODUCTION".
The third is indicated by the sign of the tirst inverted, [thus, g It differs
from the second only by its greater rapidity.
The fourth has the following sign, viz: 3Z Its measure note is a Minim; which
requires two beats. 35
Triple Time, has three varieties, which are thus distinguished, viz.
The first is marked by the figures jj The second by the figures ^ The
third by the figures g All these varieties have three beats to each measure ; in
the first, three minims fill a bar ; in the second, three crotchets ; in the third,
three quavers.
Compound Time has three varieties, which are thus distinguished :
The first by the figures
*J The second by the figures § The third by the
IS 2 a
figures JU^- The two first have two beats to each measure : the last has four beats.
The first variety has six crotchets, or other equivalent notes, to each measure :
the second has six quavers ; and the third twelve.
Appoggiatures are small notes, inserted to improve the melody They borrow
their time from the notes which immediately follow them.
After Notes, on the contrary, borrow their time from the notes which precede
them.
Appoggiatures and After Notes, diminish the time of the notes to which they
are attached, exactly in proportion to their own length ; except that the Appoggia-
ture, when it precedes a pointed note, assumes twice its natural value.
The Accent, in common time, takes place on the first and third parts of the
measure. In very slow time, though the Accents are more frequent, they take
place in the same proportion on the first, third, fifth and seventh quavers. In triple
time, there is a full accent on the first, and a partial one on the third part of the
measure. The accented are termed strong, ana the unaccented, weak parts of the
measure.
