Second volume in the series (first was The Boosey & Hawkes

20th-century Easy Song Collection). This one covers 1901-2004. The

songs are suitable for UK exam grades 4 to 7: many pieces in this

collection already feature on exam syllabuses of the Associated Board

and Trinity Guildhall, and several songs are not otherwise currently

available in print.

The publication is part of the ABRSM singing exam syllabus (grades

4,5,6,7,8).
