No candidate for President of the United States was ever elected or rejected because of a song, but since 1800 the campaign song appeared constantly (until 1964) amidst the paraphernalia of the electoral process. These songs, usually set to the common tunes of their day, were printed and distributed in the form of books or pamphlets named songsters. Until now, few serious studies of the American presidential campaign songster have been written. This vital work by William Miles brings bibliographic control to the study of the American presidential campaign by focusing on each campaign's...

Fight songs, alma maters, and other school songs are as numerous and varied as the colleges and universities in the United States to which they belong. Robert F. O'Brien has compiled a long-needed directory of school songs to serve as a reference work for those who must perform, arrange, or research school songs in the course of their day-to-day work.

O'Brien has arranged the songs alphabetically by state, and, within the state, by the name of the institution. Wherever possible, information is provided on the composer, the tune, and the publisher or copyright status. Arrangers are...

Complementing Shearer and Shearer's useful one-volume source of information--State Names, Seals, Flags, and Symbols-- this book provides the music and lyrics for the official songs adopted by the state governments.

The book also probes the reasons why these anthems are still in use and addresses their relevance in the era of European integration. Professor Eyck, a European-born historian, uses primary sources hitherto unavailable in this country and...

Mahler's Fourth Symphony ranks among the most beloved of his symphonic works and marks a distinct turning point in his approach to composition. It was here that he developed in its most sophisticated guise the idea of the "programme." In this case, the poetic idea is the progress from experience (the first movement) to the utterly innocent, childlike vision of Paradise the exquisitely serene vocal setting of the poem "Das himmlische Leben" (The Heavenly Life).
Reproduced from the original Viennese edition with bar-numbered movements for easier reference this affordable, high-quality,...
