Excerpt from Deseret Sunday School Union Music Book: Containing a Large Collection of Choice Pieces for the Use of Sunday Schools Though to say to fill a long-felt want has become an expression so frequently misused as to have almost lost all force, yet, in presenting this modest addition to the publications of the Union, it can be most truthfully declared that the want of such a work as this claims to be has been felt and urgently called for for years by the officers and teachers of our Sunday Schools. We do not expect that this volume will supply every need of the officers and choir leaders of our Sunday Schools, we sincerely trust, however, it will be an aid in the direction sought, and be the precursor of many yet more valuable works to aid in the musical development of the youth of Israel. The Deseret Sunday School Union views with commendable pride the results of its efforts in developing the taste for good music in the midst of the Latter-day Saints; and trusts it will be able to yet add much in this direction. The present volume contains eighty-eight pieces, mostly the productions of our home composers and authors. The pieces it contains present many varieties of style and treatment, and are adapted to the capacity of the Sunday School scholars of all ages, from those who belong to the infant to the members of the adult classes.
