NEW BOOK FOR SINGING SCHOOLS.

The Crystal--A new single book, by F. H. [Penn?] containing Glees, Quartettes, Choruses, Chants, Hymns, Tunes, Anthems, &c.: also, a complete elementary department. The Crystal is especially valuable to the Singing School, Day School, to teachers and to the home circle; to the Singing School because it contains copious exercises, examples, and explanations, thus saving the time and trouble of writing on the black board; also, contains the major, minor and chromatic scales, treated in a full and comprehensive manner. It is well known to the experienced that Glees and Part Songs are much better for classes than church music.

The Crystal has one other excellence which no musician can fail to notice, viz: The Harmonic treatment. We can confidently say that the Harmony is not only correct (which is more than can be said of two-thirds of the music now being issued) but that it is strong, avoiding the more common-lace, not pedantic, but instructive and beautiful, and evinces, at every step, the careful study of the author. As in literature, the books which a man reads will have an unmistakable influence upon his character, his conversation and his thoughts, so in music, the harmonic treatment will have a remarkable, perhaps undefinable, but nevertheless decided effect upon the singer. In this respect, therefore, we feel that The Crystal will be a teacher in itself.

The author, Mr. F.H. Pease, is well known as one of the most successful teachers in the West. His former works, the "Musical Lyra" and "Western Bell," have had a large sale, and "The Crystal" will certainly become a great favorite, 35 cents printed from new, clear type, and substantially bound. Price, $1.50, or $13.50 per dozen.

Music can be sent safely to any part of the country by mail. We are daily sending hundreds of packages in this way. Any of the above will be mailed post-paid, to any address, on receipt of the marked price. Our large, complete catalogue of music and music Books, will be sent free on application.
