J.E. Newell „The Secular Melodist 27 pieces for Harmonium/Reed Organ
A couple of years ago I was lucky to find a complete original of this quite rare book of secular sheet music for reed organ, first published in 1901. It shows how integrated the harmonium/reed organ was in the daily life of the Victorians/Edwardians. Hymns and religious songs on Sundays, secular favourites at any (other) time. I processed Newell’s Secular Melodist and now offer this new edition, produced to modern standards but retaining the original format.
The original title page reads:
The
Secular Melodist
Containing
Popular & Favorite Melodies

Harmonium or American Organ

By
J.E. Newell
Whisper and I shall hear (Piccolomini), The Village Blacksmith (Weiss), The Washington PostMarch (Sousa), Juanita (Hon. Mrs. Norton), Queenie (Watson), What are the wild Waves saying (Glover) and 21 other numbers.
Fun to play. Also highly suitable for piano or keyboard. Easy to medium.
