Song Directory
About the Directory:
This directory
contains over 3,000 songs that may be incorporated into school lessons and
activities. The songs are arranged alphabetically by title. There is an explanatory
passage following each entry identifying literary, historical, political,
and/or social reference(s) contained in the song. For each entry we identify
the artist/group who sings the work, in many cases this is not the person who
wrote the song. Many of the entries also include underlined and/or highlighted
words and phrases. These are links that will take you to sites with
additional or related information about the song topic(s) and/or the artist.
How to search the Directory:
Once you have
entered a section of the Directory, click on the word "Edit" in the
tool bar at the top of the page and select "Find..." or "Find in
page" (ctrl + F) A window will appear on your screen. Type in the
name of a musician if you wish to find songs by a particular artist or group.
If you wish to search for songs by subject matter or theme then type in a topic
or issue such as "domestic violence", "environment",
"social responsibility", "French Revolution",
"divorce". This tool will only search for these words on the web page
that is open. If you wish to search another section of our Directory you must
first enter or "open" that page. For a quicker search, click here to view an index of all the songs in the
directory.
