Based on my understanding and experiences of the songs, this article has discussed the coverage, content of the theme, characteristics of the style, the purpose of which is to enhance and deepen our understanding of the musical works because you can not truly appreciate something before you have understood it.The compositions of vocality had been arranged and published by the end of the 19th century or earlier. And they have been utilized as teaching samples for musical college students in the west ever since. It is well recognized that learning and singing these songs is an indispensable and absolutely necessary course for any learner of vocality.
