Description:

THE "NEWS CHRONICLE” SONG BOOK is not merely intended for Community Singing purposes. Singing together is a form of amusement and delight. It is a glorious way in which we can, in large bodies, express something which we could not tel] in any other way. But the love for Community Singing should be started and finished in the home. At the time of writing I am conducting a Community Hymn Service every Sunday in some church in almost every corner of the country, and it is no anti-climax, after an hour of singing with 2,000 enthusiasts, to be taken to the home of a member of the congregation, and hear one of the family sing a favourite hymn, the others joining in a verse or chorus. With this Song Book the " News Chronicle” hopes to encourage and bring back singing in our homes. Then Community Singing will take care of itself.

This book is quite unique. In its sections will be found songs to suit almost all occasions, and in most cases they have been arranged in simple four-part harmony. This has been made possible through the interest and practical help of my friend, Mr. H. A. Chambers. When conducting large crowds it is encouraging and inspiring to hear some of the audience using even improvised harmony. We love to sing, and the time has come to bring singing into more of our social meetings, and to stimulate the interest in massed singing. A foreign nobleman, after hearing ninety-three thousand people sing, once said to me, “ I know now why England is so great. From your King to his most humble subject you are all as one man on common ground when singing.” I wish to thank Messrs. Novello & Co., Ltd., for giving me useful suggestions and valuable help in compiling this Book ; also Messrs. J. Curwen & Sons, Ltd. (Mr. Kenneth Curwen), for kind permission to include their fine selection of Shanties. Please read Sir Richard Terry’s Foreword to this Section.

Sing and the world will sing with you. T.P. RATCLIFF.
