Notes:
I had scanned this volume several years ago, but did not initially post it here as a source because about half the songs are arranged in four part closed score, rather than for voice and piano. I am, at least initially, making the entire volume available, until individual songs can be posted separately, and until Google makes their copy readable and downloadable.
My listing of the contents implies more selections than there are in the volume; some songs have two titles and therefore show up twice in the list.
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.
