CHILDREN'S SONGS FROM JAPAN By FLORENCE WHITE and KAZUO AKIYAMA (1960)

Description: CHILDREN'S SONGS FROM JAPAN By FLORENCE WHITE and KAZUO AKIYAMA (1960) This vintage music book is in very good condition. There are no markings in this book. Please see the photos for the condition as the photos are of the actual music book that you will receive. Thank you! This book constitutes, beside its educational merits, an outstanding achievement in the field of international understanding. What better way to establish contact with another nation, than to make use of the immediate appeal of its songs. It matters little that - unlike our folk music - the pentatonic (or five-note) scale forms the melodic basis of most Japanese music. This, in fact, adds a unique charm to these songs. The collection opens up a world which, though externally remote, is actually quite akin to that of our own children. Customs and scenes may be different; the motivational background is the same; be it the poetry of nature, the love for animals, the playing of games, the observance of festivals, or just singing for singing's sake.
