Book Notice.

THE ADVANCED Music READER. By
Frederic H. Ripley, principal OF the
Charles Sumner School, Boston, and
Thomas Taper, examiner in theory in
the American College of Musicians.
Boards, 4to, 800 pages. Price, 81 90.
American Book Company, New York,
Cincinnati, and Chicago.
This book, which completes the natural
course in music by the same authors, is
adapted for use in high schools, normal
schools, choral societies, and the home
circle.
1t embodies the prominent features
which have made the natural course
music so popular and successful; namely,
original, fresh, spirited tunes in connec-
ton with poems of the highest literary
quality. Without attending to review
the elements Of musical theory, it never
theless presents material intended for
elementary instruction. The selections
are largely new, and all were especially
composed for such choruses as are formed
by school classes.
Unison solfeggios for training voices
are scattered through the work. The
two and three part exercises and songs
with duplicate bass will serve to prepare
young bass singers for the independent
bass part in subsequent sections. AL
though the book is intended to meet the
wants of classes in which bass voices
have begun to develop, yet much of the
music is arranged so as to be complete if
the bass is omitted.
The volume is of convenient size and
most attractive, both in contents and
mechanical execution.

"the land oil Evangeline," that nvari.
ably makes one visit the precursor OF
dozens more.

best months in which to make trip to
the provinces. The season is trfle later
