Junior High School Music The Vital Link Between Required And Elective Music, Mary Z. Zenor

Graduate Thesis Collection

A Survey Of Band Practice Incentives And Rehearsal Techniques In California Central Coast Counties High Schools, Earl Marshall Alcorn

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

One of the most difficult problems for students of the teaching profession is that of formulating the best classroom procedure to follow under actual teaching conditions. Almost universally, young teachers find that the transition between their graduate period of training and their first position involves such a realignment of ideas in this regard as to be highly discouraging.

In their graduate study these prospective teachers learn many practices which are helpful to the problem, but which many times are based on an ideal situation, or one so nearly so as to be foreign to the immediate picture. In music, for …

嶺南謌譜 = Songs The Whole Lingnan Sings, An Tung Ho, Hsu Zi Pai

Lingnan Songs

序 － 白序之

嶺南詩歌，通行已久，今始出而重編，亦有故也。緣嶺南立校，迄今三十餘年，歌詠謠辞，集累甚富，或以一時之需，倉卒成章，或襲西洋樂譜，附以嶺南故實，中間雖有刊行，然散佚已久。歷年縱有傳習，隨時印怖，亦鮮保存。遂令先人遺聲，不復聞諸後世，能不悵然。何君安東，掌樂教有年，於審音辯律，尤推獨步。憫南大古樂之絶響，慮其湮沒無聞，逐商諸學校當局，從事蒐集，復爲前鍾校長夫人所鼓勵贊助，許以鳩工鉸桴，以廣其傳。於是窮數月之力，編輯成册，持以示余，要余以課餘之暇，審定其辞焉。余不文，於篇什歌詠，更屬茫然。何敢率爾操觚，弄翰於鐵板銅琶之際，寧不有下里巴人之誚乎。第以勝意難迴，遂允何君按譜度聲，余為按聲填辞，辞有不正，則依聲改纂之，庶歸於諧，至其文字鄙俚工拙，所不計也。

原歌多為英語，而無漢辞，或原為漢文，而辞有未惬，皆改削而另起爐灶。或舍原作而創新格，或依英文而曲盡其義，或半採原意而實以已意，歷時二月，完成十九篇，餘仍其舊。其辞無大支離者，稍加潤色，以葆其真。是否允當，不敢自許，有待於知音之士就正焉。
