- Notes:
- The title of this work indicates that it was designed for young Catholic women, though no such formal organization was developed by the National Socialists. The work includes a preface by Hermann Klens in German, was compiled by Aenne Unterberg, arranged by Wilhelm Josef Gehling and illustrated by Ernst Jansen-Winkeln. Historians of music have noted that "Nazi" music represented an attempt to identify authentically German music to create a national cultural history (see Potter, Pamela M., "What is "Nazi Music"? The Music Quarterly, vol. 88, No. 3 (Autumn 2005), pp. 428-455). This work is discussed in Jung, Michael. Liederbücher im Nationalsozialismus: Dokumente. Vol. 2. Johann-Wolfgang-Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main, 1989. This is a part of Western Michigan University's World War II Propaganda digitized collections. and Liedgruppen des Singebronn: Mein Lied dem Konig -- Tauet, Himmel -- Sufani -- Jungfrau-Mutter -- Passion -- Draußen im Land -- Ein Ringlein überbogen -- Tanze, klein Marei -- Frohsinn und Tanz -- Frühmorgens und zur Nacht
