A couple of years ago I was lucky to find a completeoriginal of this quite rare book of secular sheet music for reed organ, firstpublished in 1901. It shows how integrated the harmonium/reed organ was in thedaily life of the Victorians/Edwardians. Hymns and religious songs on Sundays,secular favourites at any (other) time. We processed Newell’s “Secular Melodist”and now offer this new edition, produced to modern standards but retaining theoriginal format. Sheet music comes with stay-open wire binding.
