Music for Children, Vol. V Minor: Dominant and Subdominant Triads

Music for Children Vol. V Minor: Dominant and Subdominant Triads, adapted by Margaret Murray, is filled to the brim with songs and pieces making further use of the modes introduced in Vol.4, with the addition of the more usual forms of the minor scale with the sharpened seventh. The settings include the chords on the 4th and 5th notes of these modes and scales. An extensive section of rhythmic exercises and a few settings of short dramatic scenes conclude the book.
