	Book of Songs
		The "Lesser Courtly Songs" are generally longer than the lyrics contained in the "Airs of the States" and, except for some poems in the latter part of the section, concern the aristocratic life centering around the Chou court.
		Section III of the Book of Songs is the sung or "Hymns." These forty sacrficial and temple songs are subdivided into three parts on the basis of geographical origin--thirty-one attributed to the Chou court, four to the court of the Duchy of Lu, and five hymns attributed to the Shang dynasty, which preceded Chou.
		These songs seem to have been sung to the accompaniment of music and group dancing when the King or lord worshipped his ancestors and commemorated their heroic deeds.

		The "Song" section is comprised of praise poems, hymns, and perhaps songs to accompany court ritual dances.
		These songs are from the southernmost state of Chen, located in the area of modern southern Henan and northern Anhui.
		The number of a song according to its placement in the Mao version is used by scholars in the West to denote that song (e.g., "Guan ju" is Mao shi 1).

	The Daily Star - Arts & Culture - The Book of Songs: a rebel's perspective (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
		In his introduction to The Book of Songs, Isfahani wrote that he was asked by a Baghdad notable to write a book on Arabic music, since the book that was widely circulated at that time, supposedly written by the great Abbasid singer Ibrahim al-Mawsili, was erroneous and insufficient.
		All songs were originally classical poems or parts of poems which the singers chose to transform into songs.
		The structure of the book is that of a tree; it is random, yet there is some sort of a scheme.

		Based on the comments published on the page for this book at Amazon.com, the readers don't seem to like the book, but Dinky's friends seem to think he is a fine fellow.
		Do you know who "Wild Man Fisher" is? This book tells the stories of some of the best known of "outsider music," and it has a companion CD available.
		The odd thing about a book like this is that it could spawn some interest in the various artists' work, and then those folks who are famous for not being famous will be famous.

	Notherby's :: The Book of Songs
		Comment: The Book of Songs (Shi Jing) is one of the seminal works of Chinese Civilization, along with the Book of Changes (Yi Jing), the Book of History (Shu Jing) and the Book of Rites (Li Chi).
		All four of these books were already old when Confucius flourished, and tradition states that they were edited by him into their present form.
		This book was, I believe, out of print for quite a few years.

		The voices in the Book of Songs are diverse, especially in contrast to the more homogeneous point of view of ancient epics written by Homer and Virgil.
		As with the epic tradition of Greek and Roman culture, the Book of Songs does reflect the values of the culture that created the text.
		The story of ruling well and gaining the support of the people seems to persist in all cultures; many of the poems in the Chinese Book of Songs can be read as verses of protest--voices speak out, sometimes in the humblest of ways, against whatever force threatens to destroy the society.

	I Ching newsletter: Shijing, the Book of Songs
		The Shijing is the classic book of songs, just as the Yijing (I Ching) is the classic book of change.
		These are the songs of the same Zhou people who first used and recorded the I Ching - some a few brief centuries later, but still evoking the same daily lives and beliefs that form the language of its imagery and advice.
		In-depth book reviews, excellent articles (the one on 'what to avoid' is not to be missed), and a very interesting links page.

	God Songs - Paul Baloche (Book)
		God Songs, is a stellar new book that triumphs in teaching the church how to write its new music liturgy, as it is inspired by the Spirit of God.
		In my mind, this book should really have a place as the text of a college course (or maybe 2 or 3) on songwriting- there is just that much excellent, well-written material to work through.
		But the bottom line is that this book is simply fantastic in covering a topic that has had no significant treatment to date: writing the worship songs for today's church.

	The Ultimate Broadway Fake Book: Over 720 Songs from over 240 Shows for Piano, Vocal, Guitar, Electronic Keyboards and ...
		Throughout the book, many of the chord changes are incorrect (this is a musician's constant complaint about ALL fake books).
		Most of the songs do not include the verse (and for Rodgers & Hart, Gershwin, and Kern these are often essential parts of the song).
		And of course there are many songs I already own in other collections, although the book is useful as a one-stop source for all of these, and there are about fifty to a hundred decent to superb songs that I own nowhere else.

	Review - Books Brimming With Fun Activities For Young Kids - Children's Books
		This book is quite a treasure: It's huge, with 700 selections, and is a good aid for parents and preschool teachers alike.
		It is amazing that just one year after publishing the huge "The Complete Book Of Rhymes, Songs, Fingerplays And Chants," the authors have been able to produce another immense book with more than 600 activities for young children.
		Although this book is marketed for preschool teachers, parents will also find plenty of inspiration here for quality-time fun with their kids.

		It repeatedly surprises us with its juxtapositions, its inadvertant humor, and the unsuspected links it exposes in song topics that cross generations, genres, and regions which were all but impossible to discern before.
		By chronicling versions of songs from artist to artist and decade to decade, it brings to life the life of songs.
		Like with a rhyming dictionary, a quick look at this book can turn into a marathon session, as you follow ideas from subject to subject.

		The book closes with a list translating the abbreviations used for record labels and an index to subjects used.

	Ralph Dumain: "The Autodidact Project": Book Review: Songs from Unsung Worlds
		The biographical notes at the back of the book include references to the individual poems and cite the motives of many of the living writers for writing poetry and using science in it.
		It is difficult to generalize about the nonscientist contributors, but interesting to compare the poems of the protagonists of the book’s introduction.
		I find the poet Starbuck gaudy, noisy, bombastic, and sloganeering, whereas the astrophysicist Lightman is more organized, focused, quietly poetic, and subtle—and he has more to say.

		Posted by: wild@heart at Jun 20, 2005 6:21:57 AM I think the song "Killkelly" has to rate as one of the saddest songs ever; based on letters found in a family's attic in the DC area, it captures succinctly the heartbreak that is at the heart of many immigrant families' lives.
		Posted by: Ed at Jun 20, 2005 10:45:14 AM The saddest song ever is a song I hear played on Fordham's WFUV on the Irish show on the weekend...and for the life of me, I can't find the artist or all the lyrics.
		Since then, the band plays it as the last song in their final concert of the year, as the band director's (who is loved by all the kids) way of saying good-bye to her seniors.

		I’d tried to sell Random House on a book that Tom Wolfe eventually wrote, on the whole psychedelic thing.
