Notes:
The volume I scanned myself was the “high voice” edition. Nevertheless, many of the songs are in a fairly moderate range. I’d be inclined to mark many as “middle voice.”

Songs from these volumes will be uploaded as song posts are created for them. If you would like me to give priority to a song that is not yet posted, please let me know via the contact page.
