What reading level is Gleanings From the History of Music, From the Earliest Ages to the Commencement of the Eighteenth Century book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


The following is an example of wrong accent in a Ser- vice set by Tallis : — " The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise thee. The noble," &c. In Bird's Ser- vice we find, — "to thee," "also," "of glory," "ab- hor," "kingdom," &c. These and similar errors were common with all the composers of that time. It is well to look at the errors of other times, if by doing so we are also led to look at and correct our own ; and we are not yet free from gross errors of accent and expression.
There are,
... however, two things which must be learned before much progress can be made in either. Every singer must learn to read both the words and the music before he can succeed in the higher principles of the art.
A person who should stand upon a house to indicate the course of the wind would appear no more simple than the teacher who devotes most of his time to teaching expres- sion, while his pupils are ignorant of. either of the two languages which they are trying to read. The machbist first forges and then polishes his work ; the builder puts up his frame first, and then finishes the house.
