Complementing Shearer and Shearer's useful one-volume source of information--State Names, Seals, Flags, and Symbols-- this book provides the music and lyrics for the official songs adopted by the state governments. Arranged alphabetically by state, each song has a single vocal line over a piano accompaniment, with one verse only under the vocal line and remaining verses appearing separately. Each entry includes the date the song was adopted, the name of the composer, and in some instances, a brief history of the song. The book will be a useful reference for those wanting to perform a state song or to find the official songs of other states.

State Songs of America,
This review is from: State Songs of America (Hardcover)
This book, "State Songs of America" is perfect for creating programs for schools, organizations, and all other gatherings of people. I am using this for several programs. One being a program given for ladies of the United Daughters of the Confederacy. It will be "Name That State" after playing the song of the original eleven seceded states. What Fun...
