PART MUSIC, a collection of vocal music made by Mr. John Hullah for the use of his Singing Classes, and published by John W. Parker, London. It consists of three series—'Class A for S. A. T. B.' (vol i. 1842, vol ii. 1845); 'Class B for the voices of women and children' (1845); 'Class C for the voices of men' (1845). Each series contains sacred and secular pieces. Each was printed both in score and in separate parts, in royal 8vo., and the whole forms a collection unexampled (at least in England), for extent, excellence, and variety, and for the clearness and accuracy of its production.
