Celebrate the musical heritage of the United States with this 1975 edition of The American Bicentennial Songbook, Volume One. Collected and curated by William R. Ward, this massive 271-page volume covers "The First Hundred Years" from the 1770s through the 1870s. Because it is spiral bound, the book is designed to lay flat on a piano or music stand, making it as functional as it is historical.
Inside, you will find a vast array of scores that represent twenty decades of American life, from early patriotic anthems to folk songs of the mid-19th century. Measuring 11" x 8.5", this softcover book is an essential resource for music historians, choral directors, or anyone interested in the cultural evolution of American music. It makes a thoughtful gift for history teachers, musicians, or collectors of Bicentennial memorabilia. Please note that this copy includes a previous owner's name stamp and a sticker on the interior of the front and back covers, which adds to its unique provenance as a used musical reference.
This book is vintage, over 50 years old. While it appears to be in the good condition stated, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw, I would reach out prior to sending it.
