Every day and age has had its music for living and working and playing together. Music truly reflects what people have thought and felt.
Farmlands: People sing as they plant and harvest... They sing and play as they rest from work... their music helps us know the kind of life they live.
Community Gatherings: Music exerts a strong force in drawing people together. The merchant sings to attract buyers ... the fiddler plays to set feet in motion the preacher lines out tunes to get response from the congregation.
Herding: The lonely herder finds solace in song as he tends his sheep on the hillsides... cattle on the ranges. ... or camels nibbling sparse desert grasses. He sings to while away the lonely hours.
In the Forest: Furs... wild fruit and game... lumber... these provide the lore for songs of people who find their living in forests.
On the Water: Sea songs tell of fishing... whaling... sponge gathering. Since earliest times man has valued the things he finds in the great seas.
Traveling: The pleasure of travel... the toil of making it possible... the excitement of foreign shores... all this is celebrated in song.
Town and City: All over the world, city streets are made gay with the calls of street vendors... the sound of children singing... and parades and carnivals.
Time and Space: We sing of the clock that marks off time of months and years and holidays everyone enjoys... Hallowe'en... Thanksgiving... Christmas.
Indices: Ways to use this Book... More Ways... Song titles
