Excerpt from Patriotic Songs for School and Home The alto part has been written beneath the soprano or treble, as a second soprano. Wherever needed, the music has been transposed into keys that will accommodate young voices, by avoiding high notes in the soprano part, and, on the other hand, low notes in the bass part. The range of the latter has also been restricted wherever possible. While the majority of the choruses are. In four-part harmony, a number of three-part songs prepared for the collection have been included. That the work may meet the demand that called it forth is the wish of the compiler.
