Deccalite (Unbreakable under normal use) Audio Education, Inc. presents Recorded Songs from The American Singer - Book 5 This album was prepared in conjunction with the American Book Company and Decca Records, Inc. The records in this album for Book 5 continue the program set up for earlier grades. They have been made with a sevenfold purpose in mind: 1. to enable the children to learn many of the songs with accuracy and fidelity to the notation; 2. to serve as models in respect to interpretation, tempo, use of the voice, and balance of parts; 3. to furnish an occasional accompaniment to songs ordinarily presented without use of piano or other instruments; 4. to provide orchestral color and variety; 5. to introduce two-part singing with less difficulty than is usually encountered; 6. to furnish instrumental music for American folk dances; 7. to add to the pleasure of listening to music. To attain these purposes, 61 songs from Book 5 have been recorded for this album. They are grouped in the following classifications: 1. Music of master composers 2. Seasonal songs 3. Two-part songs 4. Songs of the Old World 5. Songs of the other Americas 6. American spirituals, ballads, and dances.
