They ave religions without being sectarian: they sing the realities of man's experience and vitalizing purpose. They express the feeling of at-homeness in the world and the human values of truth, beauty and goodness. TI hey give voice to the feeling of oneness with nature— a feeling for the continuity of all living organisms and the evolution of higher forms of life. They celebrate the worth of the individual and the glories of human freedom, equality, and comradeship. They focus upon man’s spiritual insights and interpret his aspira~ tions toward a better world. These songs are gathered and selected. especially for” children and young people, although scores of them are equally suited for adult assemblies. The thoughts are- drawn from the poets and philosophers and religions leaders of the past and present. Their continuity with traditional religions and with a great variety of cultural influences is exemplified in Christian hymns and carols, songs of Judaism, a Zuni morning prayer, and an invo~ cation to the forces of nature from the Quechua Indians of the Andes. Their unifying theme is the free religions spirit, and faith in man, The music is drawn from a variety of peoples and cultures and periods of history. Both folk tunes and. composed tunes are represented, including many types of religious music. A unique feature of this book is its tunes from the magnificent but little-known treas- wre of American folk hymnody. The newer understand: ing of folk music in our time is here embodied in ar— rangements which display almost forgotten modes all their eloquence. Because these songs are simple and beautiful and strong in melody and rhythm, they will be easy to learn. Because they are expressive of experience and because their phraseology appeals to the mterests and. the imagination of children and young people, they will be loved for their meanings. Throughout the book the unison Song has been the standard. Provision for erwiching musical experience has been made through songs so arranged that they may be sung in two or more parts. Many of the songs are well suited to interpretation by a choral group under the guidance of a director: Whoever is responsible for the use of this book, should become acquainted with it song by song. Only so can its resources be fully known and used. The section headings will be helpful in finding Songs ac“ cording to subject interests, but no scheme of classifica~ tion can take full account of the versatility of many a Seng. Important ib is to bear in mind that enthusiasm and confidence amd resourcefulness in introdiicing 4 song make a world of difference in the singing. The work of bringing together and editing these songs has been done by Vincent 8. Siliman, Unitarian minister and specialist in liberal hymnody and liturgy, and Irving Lowens, composer and musicelogist— Mr. Silliman brings to this work. years of experience in the gathering of Songs which mect the needs of different ages and which express the spirit of liberal religious thought, and in the matching of tung and ly ric. His work has been able and painstaking and gives the volume authority and dignity and beauty. The task of musical arrangement has been the? special amd creative contribution of Mr: Lowens. His researches in hynmal and folk music, together with those of My. Silliman, have brought together a rare group of songs of beauty. Mr. Lowens’ musical crafts wanship is evident in the freshness and competence of settings and arrangements throughout the book, as well asin his own compositions. A musician of exquisite taste, he has brought to the work devotion and integrity. It is the hope of the Religions Education Committee of the American Ethical Union that both in thought and in music this collection will be a valuable contri- bution to the religious life of childven and young people. ‘For the Committee : Florence W. Klaber, Divector of Religious Education of the American Ethical Union Algernon D. Black, Member; Board of Leaders of the New York Society for~ Ethical Culture~ FOREWORD Teachers and, Leaders of childven im lib- eral schools of religion have long felt the need fora new book of songs that would appropriately express the feelings and yearnings of children and young people who ave creatively developing thew religious faiths as well as ther ethical ideals for living. WE SING OF LIFE is one fruit of this this slowly growing progressive movement in religious thought and life. Although this collection owes more to Vincent B. Silliman than to any other person for his pains taking and imaginative labors, it is wot a one-man book. Not only has mw, Silliman had the creative collaboration of Frving Lowens with the music, ‘but committees and informal growps from the American Ethical Union and the Unitarian and Universalist fellowships have joined in the search and study. Poets, other musicians, and teachers have been consulted and have contributed to the collection. Some of the numbers owe wew. Sowve represent the original swritings of children. Others give the thoughts of adults who have enough of the spirit of childhood within them to speak for~ childven. Others of the songs are old — Songs that generations have loved because they express intangible yearnings and etlucal desires in forms that seem to have a timeless greatness. All the Songs in WE SING OF LIFE ave reli- gions, using the word ina broad sense to iviclude feelings of wonder and awe and the sensing of the intangible at the heart of all things. Some ex- press an owbreaching of syrmpathy awd understand ing to embrace a growing fellowship that binds the past to the present and the far to the near,” while others express personal longings. Some of the songs symbolize by the use of the wor “God” the great avd all-inclusive reality that binds humanity in one family and that somehow ex- presses the source of all things and stands for a foretaste of possible values yet to be achieved. Here ave songs that will appeal to children of six amd Seven, and some even to kinder— garten childven. There ave wore songs for” children of the middle years, and as many for teen-agers and young people. This means that the book contains songs that people of alt ages, including adults, can enjoy singing. It should, therefore, be a welcome asset for use in all assemblies where school-age children and young people and adults gather for meditation, song and aspiration, WE SING OF LIFE expresses, more adequately thaw any other collection of religions songs I know of, the philosophy of religious development embodied in the New Beacon Series in Religious Education. None will find here everything he desires; but~ all will find beautiful song-poems, both old and. new, skillfully set to life-giving music, which doth children and young people will cherish and wish to remember. These are songs that alert and thoughtful childven will be able to sing with honesty and enthusiasm, with all thew minds as well as with all their hearts. Sophia Lyon Fahs EDITORIAL NOTE Mis book was begun and carried to completion as a project of the Committee on Re- ligiows Education of the American Ethical Union; and Florence wolff Klaber, chairman of the committee, has been in constant touch with the work. She has gwen us the moral Support and has assured us the liberty which alike ave necessary to creative work in what~ is really a new field. To name all persons and books and other~ Sources to whom and to which we ave indebted. in some way in connection with this project would not be possible. we have garnered ma- terials and ideas wherever we could, on the basis of lifelong interests. Basic to this collection of songs is a philosophy of religious education developed by a committee religions liberals of various names, under the leadership of Sophia Lyon Fahs, and embodied in a remarkable series of graded handbooks published by the Beacon Press. The commuttee was sponsored by the Division of Education of the American Unitarian Association. Texts and songs have come to us from various sources through THE BEACON SONG AND SERVICE BOOK (1935), with the preparation of which Mr. Sitliman had much todo, and HYMNS OF THE SPIRIT (1937) — each prepared by a joint committee of Unitarians and Univer- salists. Here are songs long in use in the Ethi- cal Movement, of which several may be~ traced to a pioncering work of great influence, SOCIAL WORSHIP (1913) edited by Stanton Coit and Charles Kennedy Scott. The present song book, like many another, reflects iw va~ rious ways the influence of SONGS OF PRAISE (1925 and 1931) and of its editors, Percy Dearmer, Ralph Vaughan Wilhams , and Martin shaw. For texts of several songs we ave indebted to Jeanette Perkins Brown, and especially to her CHILDREN’S WORSHIP IN THE CHURCH SCHOOL (1939). Lyrics for songs have turned up, among other places, in materials placed in ow hands by Sophia Lyon Fahs, Mildred V. Owen, Curtis Ww. Reese, and Edwin H. Wilson. Several texts howe been improved by the change of a word or two at the suggestion of friendly critics whom we shall not attempt to list. In the matter of music we ave specially grateful for the discoveries of George Pullen Jackson im the field of American folk hymno, and for the modern understanding of folk. music in which Cecil Sharp and Ralph Vaughan williams were among the pioneers. we hardly dave acknowledge the extent of owr debt to Robert L.. Sanders, chawman of- the Department of Music of Brooklyn College and an editor of HYMNS OF THE SPIRIT, Vest his name be linked unfairly with musical and educational judgments which ave ours, not his. Setting after setting embodies sug— gestions he generously made. Encowagement from Edith Lovell Thomas, musician and interpreter of child religion, was vital to the beqrnmings of this collection. The ramge of Several of the songs was improved at the suggestion of John B. Woodworth, organist” ay, of the Arlington Street Church, Unitarian, in Boston, Massachusetts. Our judgments have been influenced by the reactions of people of all ages with whom these songs have been tried out. Our special thanks go to the adults and childven of the Hollis Unitarian Church in New York, who have- been singing these songs for several years, including more than one version of some of them, and who were tolerant of their ministers preoccupation with this work. Each of the editors has given his best to the project; and the participation of neither of us has been confined to any one phase of it. My: Lowens has suggested many of the texts and songs which appear here. My. Silliman has suggested a large proportion of the tunes. The wife of each wes has been a source of boundless strength and help. Mrs. Lowens has assisted in many ways on the basis of- her thorough training asa musictan and her special qualifications in children’s song; Ms. SiMiman has contributed from her experience in religious education. Members of the Fraternity of Ethical Leaders have been helpful at one time or another: Ww. Edwin Collier, Jerome Nathanson, Henry Neumann, and most of all, Algernon D. Black, Help has also come from fudson Chrisney, Executive Secretary of the American Ethical Union, and from Sidney H. Scheuer, the Eastern Vice President. We wish to mention, even though in gener~ al terms, the great kindness and patience shown by many of the copyright owners who have given us permission to use material controlled by them. Specific acknowledgments appear elsewhere in this book. certain details as to the format may be noted here. Sources of text and tune are given at left and right in the beading of each song. Whenever possible a date is that of compo- sition or of publication. Where one of these is vot available the Lge span, of author or composer is cited. Alteration in the work of a living author is made only with his permission, and mentioned only at his request. 4 minor alteration is indicated by “From” prefixed to the wame of author or composer; a more extensive change is indicated by the words “Arranged from? The omission of one or more stanzas from the oviginal text is not~ generally indicated. Toilsome as our work has been, it also has been a joy. Boundless are our thanks to all, named or unnamed here, who have helped to make this bool. Vincent B.
