Tempo di Marcia. Words and Music by GEO. F. ROOT
PIANO
1. In the pris-on cell I sit, Thinking of Mother dear, of you, And our bright and hap-py home so far a-way, And the tears they fill my eyes Spite of all that I can do, Tho' I try to cheer my comrades and be gay. (When the Chorus is sung, this may be omitted after the first verse.) Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come, And be- (When the Chorus is not sung, end here.) neath the starry flag We shall breath the air a-gain, Of the freeland in our own be-lov-ed home.
2. In the bat-tle front we stood When their fierc-est charge they made, And they swept us off a hun-dred men or more, But be-fore we reach'd their lines They were beaten back dismayed, And we heard the cry of vict-'ry o'er and o'er. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come, And be- neath the starry flag We shall breath the air a-gain, Of the freeland in our own be-lov-ed home.
3. So with-in the pris-on cell, We are wait-ing for the day That shall come to o-pen wide the i-ron door, And the hol-low eye grows bright, And the poor heart al-most gay, As we think of see-ing home and friends once more. Tramp, tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come, And be- neath the starry flag We shall breath the air a-gain, Of the freeland in our own be-lov-ed home.
CHORUS.
Air Tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come. And be- Alto Tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come. And be- Tenor Tramp, tramp, the boys are march-ing, Cheer up comrades they will come. And be-
neath the starry flag We shall breathe the air a-gain, Of the free-land in our own be-lov-ed home. neath the starry flag We shall breathe the air a-gain, Of the free-land in our own be-lov-ed home. neath the starry flag We shall breathe the air a-gain, Of the free-land in our own be-lov-ed home.
NEW METHOD FOR THE PIANO-FORTE 240pp. Royal quart THE MUSICAL CURRICULUM BY GEO. F. ROOT.
This is emphatically a new book in a new field. It provides instruction and mu- sic, not only for the PIANO-FORTE, but also for the things that should be studied with it viz: the VOICE and HARMONY--not harmony through the eye, but harmony through the ear; not dry calculations, but living and beautiful forms. It goes on the plan that the pupil should know as well the chords and harmonies he is in while playing and singing, as he does the key or kind of time; and moreover it proves that these things can be done by preparing well for each subject, and then by adapt- ing the instruction, and the music to the state of the pupil, and making the steps succeed each other in true progres- sive order.
The while book may be divided into
two kinds of lessons--the one for musical culture and the other for muscular culture. Not that there is no practice for the mus- cles in the former, nor exercise for the mu- sical taste in the latter, but each is devoted mainly to its own object. Those lessons which are designed to awaken develop, and strengthen a love for music, and with which are imparted a knowledge of time, tune, and expression, (Rhythmics, Melod- ics, and Dynamics,) are written in many pleasant and tuneful forms, and are called exercises, pieces, songs, etudes, solfraggios,etc. while those which are simply for the de- velopment and strengthening of the mus- cles of the fingers, hands and vocal or gans, do not pretend to be pleasant or tune- ful, but depend upon the benefits they confer in the way of flexibility and exe- cution for their popularity. These lessons are called TECHNICS, and embrace five finger exercises, scales arpeggios and miscellaneous exercises of many kinds and forms.
The contents of the book may be summed
up as follows: Instrumental exercises for reading music, the acquirement of musical knowledge, and the cultivation of taste, numbered but bearing no other names than the topics they illustrate and teach....................................221 Vocal exercises and solfaggios for similar purposes......................................48 TECHNICS....................................419 Divided as follows--Five Finger Exercises..78 Scales, Major and Minor.................115 Arpeggios, Minors and Minor.......... 116 Vocal............................................45 Miscellaneous ...............................35 Piano lessons that may be played as duets and trios..............................44 Chromatic exercises ......................21 Songs...........................................39 Exercises in Thorough Base..............24 Pieces for the Piano........................43 Of the foregoing numbers, are used for the study of transposition..........120 These, when played according to directions, increase the lessons to the book to ................................1485 Price $4.50 Sent, postpaid, on receipt of the market price. To those who would like to have an opportunity of examining this book before purchasing, we will send, post- paid, on receipt of ten cents, an elegant royal quarto pamphlet, con- taining fourteen specimen pages of the same, selected so as to give an idea of its general appearance, as well as some description of its plan and contents.
