"What Does the Bee Do?" [Frederick Zuchtmann]
First line of lyrics: What does the bee do?
Rossetti poem(s): "'What does the bee do?'"
Performance instructions: In the lyrics, the word "lays" replaces "lay" in line 6 of the Rossetti poem.
Notes: One song of eight settings of Christina Rossetti poems that appear in the "New American Music Reader Number One" by Frederick Zuchtmann published in 1905 by Macmillian. In the introduction, it states that "Just as language is studied from examples of the best writers, so music should be studied from the works of the best composers. The song contains all the elements of instruction, and those elements should be studied for the sake of interpreting the song. Melody, rhythm, tone-production, enunciation, breathing, and interpretation are best studied from living and vital songs, and these should be the source and the basis as well as the object of instruction." The book was meant to provide teachers with all the necessary exercises and songs to teach children about music, and save them the time and effort of having to find the material themselves. (Zuchtmann, p. 3)

Notes: "The Wind" is one of eleven songs for children in a book called "Come and sing with me" by Grace Reese Everson, published by Luckhardt & Belder in 1914. It was then published as one of twenty-six songs for children in a book called "Come Sing with Me" by Grace Reese Everson, Oliver Ditson Co., 1922. In a 1922-1923 advertisement, it states: "'The songs in this book are not new and untried. In mss. and in an earlier printed form, they have been pleasurably used in the Kindergartens and primary grade rooms of Pittsburgh, and by reason of their genuine merit have gradually gained favor in larger circles. In their new form...it may be confidently expected that their attractive qualities will gain equal favor for them in a greatly extended field.'–Will Earhart, Supervisor of Music, Pittsburgh, Pa."
