Product Description
J.E. Newell The Secular Melodist" 27 pieces for Harmonium/Reed Organ
A couple of years ago I was lucky to find a complete
original of this quite rare book of secular sheet music for reed organ, first
published in 1901. It shows how integrated the harmonium/reed organ was in the
daily life of the Victorians/Edwardians. Hymns and religious songs on Sundays,
secular favourites at any (other) time. I processed Newells "Secular
Melodist" and now offer this new edition, produced to modern standards but
retaining the original format.
The original title page reads:
The
Secular Melodist

Popular &
Favorite Melodies

Whisper and I shall hear (Piccolomini), The Village
