Where these songs come from

These are popular songs from 1892 to 1910: Daisy Bell of 1892, Asleep in the Deep of 1897, Sweet Adeline of 1903, and two waltz songs of 1910, Let Me Call You Sweetheart and Down by the Old Mill Stream. Sweet Adeline became a barbershop favourite, and Down by the Old Mill Stream came out with a setting of its chorus for men's voices. Every one is public domain, and each card says its key and how hard it is.

Down by the Old Mill Stream is voiced as barbershop sings it: the lead has the tune, the tenor rings above it, the baritone fills the chord and the bass holds the roots. The others are for soprano, alto, tenor and bass, and in Asleep in the Deep, written for a baritone or bass voice, the bass sings the tune. Play a song's first line to hear every part together, then open your part to hear it alone or with the others under it, and sing along as each note lights up.
