Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Excerpt from The Song and the Singer: A Setting Forth, in Words, of Certain Movements in a Latter-Day Life: Prelude, Allegro; Andante Con Moto; Scherzo; Presto Con Brio, Coda Truly, to the box-othee magnate all men are the same. It matters not to him that one patron would have a place for a dollar, and another for two. He is there to dispense exact justice at so much per, and he will pass out a slip entitling you to a chair behind a pillar without one throb of emotion. Nevertheless, Ordway blushed. It was not that he was going to the gallery, or that the place was so named. He had figured on that in his weeks of anticipation; but there was a sense of maladroitness, a consciousness of rusticity, that made him lower his eyes as he faced the incoming procession of the richly garbed, and hurried from the main entrance. The same seedy book dealer who had accosted him before seized upon him again. Ordway bought a libretto this time, perhaps as a sop to a vague sense of disappointment, and fled around the corner.

(Excerpt from American Primitive Music: With Especial Atte...)
Excerpt from American Primitive Music: With Especial Attention to the Songs of the Ojibways If my research contributes in any slight degree to the science of ethnology, such result should be regarded as its by-product, for this book is the work of a muswian whose astonished atten tion was attracted to the subject by hearing a party of O jib ways sing a rarely beautiful song, and who followed that lead in the hope, well founded as it proved, of discovering a type of genuine and useful folksong indigenous to his native soil. That Indian songs may be useful to_ civilization, that is, that they have great art value, I thoroughly believe, and I should be lacking in the courage of my convictions if I did not make such demonstration of my belief as lies in my power. To this end, in addition to a discussion of scales, rhythm, form, and other technical and non-technical matters kindred to the sub jcet, I have selected twenty-eight songs from my collection, adapted to them English verse suggested by the Indian orig inals, and provided them with pianoforte accompaniments. Some of the songs I have also arranged for unaccompanied mixed quartette. All these will be found in the book in addi tion to notations of the entire collection of melodies which it was my good fortune to find.

(I van pulled aside the curtain and looked up at the sky. ...)
I van pulled aside the curtain and looked up at the sky. It was as clear as crystal, as blue as the eyes of his beloved, the promise fulfilled of a perfect day. On a win. dow cornice across the street a tiny bird perked his head toward the sun and chirped noisily. To a lively imagination kindled by fond anticipations the twittering of the bird would have seemed like music. So it was to I van. His heart responded with unformed melodies, and some of their stray notes found their way humming to his throat as he hastened his toilet. A long process it was in spite of his haste. Every outer garment, though but yesterday brought by the tailor, had to be brushed with exquisite care, and when it came to adjusting his tie, what with finding in the light of this beautiful morning that not one of the numerous assortment seemed to be bright enough for the occasion, and having rejected all in turn, and having selected one at last that might be made to do, and having found the knot and loosed it well, time had passed, and under ordinary circn-mstances patience might have gone with it. Ordinary, tlae circumstances were not, and if they had been I presume any tie could have, and would have been thrown together in a shape not less pleasing than that which finally caused him to turn from the mirror in cheerful despair and ring for breakfast.

Frederick Russell Burton was born on February 23, 1861 at Jonesville, Michigan, the son of a Universalist clergyman, the Rev. William S. Burton. His mother was Sarah Evelyn (Mason) Burton.
Frederick was fitted for college at West Newton English and Classical School and graduated from Harvard in 1882, summa cum laude, receiving at the same time the highest honors in music. About the same time he published a number of songs: Sea-Weed, The Engineer, My Cigarette, Kitty Bahn.
After graduation Frederick Burton taught music until January 1883 when he became a reporter on the Boston Globe, being made night city editor in 1884. He went to Troy, New York, in June 1884 to write editorials for the Daily Telegram and was made city editor soon after his arrival.
In the following September he went to Fall River, Massachussets, as editor of the Fall River Daily Herald, but remained there only one month when he secured city editorship of the Boston Post. Later he was on the staff of the New York Sun under Dana and he also at one time did considerable journalistic work in London, England.
In 1896 Frederick Russell Burton organized the Yonkers Choral Society which in 1898 performed his cantata Hiawatha. The result of his study was so successful that, with the permission of the Canadian government, the group of Indian players accompanied Burton to England, where the play was presented at Earl's Court, London.
In 1900 Burton published a second cantata, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow; in 1901 an Inauguration Ode (for the inauguration of President McKinley); in 1904 a Carnegie Library Dedication Ode. By far his most important work, however, was to come in the logical development of his interest in and knowledge of Indian music.
This he obtained at first hand, both in Canada and the United States, by spending long periods in intimate association with the Indians, particularly the Ojibways, who lived round about Lakes Huron and Superior.
An interesting opportunity for Burton to make constructive use of his authoritative knowledge of Indian music came in the summer of 1902 when he was asked to supervise the music in the production of the Indian play of Hiawatha which had already been given annually for some time at Desbarats, Ontario, on the shore of Lake Huron. (This play is not to be confused with Burton's cantata of the same name. )
He died suddenly on September 30, 1909, at his summer home on Lake Hopatcong, New Jersey.
Frederick Russell Burton's success came in 1886 when he organized the Yonkers Choral Society. The result of his study of Native-American tribal music was so successful that the group of Indian players accompanied Burton to England, where his cantata "Hiawatha" was presented at Earl's Court, London. Frederick Burton's chief interest laid in the fact that he had tried to reproduce in his music the Indian mood of the text; and to this end he had made use of a true Indian melody, jotted down by Henry E. Krehbiel when heard at some tribal dance. This was undoubtedly one of the earliest instances of the use of an authentic Indian melody in legitimate music. His intensive study also resulted in the publication in 1903 of Songs of the Ojibway Indians, later amplified and developed into American Primitive Music, which has been generally accepted as "one of the most important contributions to the literature of American folk music". This work was posthumously published in 1909. Burton also published the following narratives: The Mission of Poubalov (1897); Shifting Sands (1898); A Seven Days' Mystery (1900); The Song and the Singer (1902); Her Wedding Interlude (1902); Strongheart (1908); and Redcloud of the Lakes (1909).

Frederick Russell Burton threw himself with enthusiasm into the task, writing certain incidental music himself, based upon Indian motifs, while he helped the Indians in their choice of original material.
Burton was a member of the Yonkers Choral Society which in 1898 performed his cantata "Hiawatha".
In 1885 Frederick Russell Burton married Winifred Baxter, who died in 1892. In 1895 he married Susan M. Carr.
