by music, but Ms' -
scope and resources broadened Wf
the exaggerated use of this languai
A few of the minor points which
further Illustrate the relation be
tween mental mid muscular eiclte-
nient are the following. Due to th-
effect on the heart practically all the
pitssions when pi.slied to the
Irenes cause a trembling In the vote
and the tremolo Is one of the cess-
monest means of producing a vlbraa
tone In passion. ite passages.
When a person is in a state of e-
hlllrntlon or resolution of confident
the voice employs a crisp clean cot
manner which In relative passages ta
music the term staccato is used U
designate the siuue musical state.
A drawl or sing-song manner ef
speech indicates less mental activi
ty producing a small degree of mus
cular activity, and the Blurring of In
tervals illustrates the same effect desired.
Likewise , the variances in time or
tempo in music expresses the sasae
emotional state that is expressed le.
ordinary speech when given In slow
or rapid ways.
And so our dally lives being
principally lives of emotions, music
Is only an educational development
of the emotions.
Mnstc as a Language -(Con)
Let us carry a little further our
subject that sensations or emotions
of pleasure and pain, which cause
muscular action, result in the various
rharacterlstcts of sound quality of
the human voice in every day life,
and let us observe the uso of these
characteristics In music.
Song Is distinguished from ordina
ry speech by Just these same peculi
arities which Indicate excited feeling.
And these peculiarities, which are
the direct result of a physiological
action, duo to pleasurable or painful
mental excitement, are carried to the
greatest extreme In vocal music. For
Instance, if we take the characterist
ics of loudness, which was n quality
of vocal sound caused by lncreositiR
emotion, wi find that loudness in
music indicates rising amotion nml
I he forte passages are (hone which
mark the climax of the emotion..
Then likewise timbre of sonorous
quality is used more in mimic than
in ordinary speech for tlie sinning
tone is the mos-.t resonant tone pro
duced by t he human voice. Then
again in recard to pitch of which we
tind that the middle tones are used
mostly in calm speech, and rise and
fall to great extents during moments
of great mental excitement; and here
music is distinguished from speech in
its negltce of the middlo tones and
the employment of the two extremes,
at which the most passionate effects
are produced. Then also, the Blow
or rapid departure from the middle
tones to the extremities, and the slow
or rapid return to the middle tones
indicate In music the Increase or (le
crease of mental excitement.
And so we see that the character
Istics of ordinary speech, which must
necessarily have come before music
in the scheme of life, are employed by
music In Klvlng expression to the va
rylng emotional states of mind
whether pleasurable or painful, but
with this difference that they are
used In an exaggerated manner.
Loudness, timbre, pitch. Interval.
and rate of variation of tone or vocal
sound are the natural language of
the emotions or passions: and bo
we may say '.hat music, employs and
and exaggerates the natural language
of the emotions.
It would seem now that there wa.
a very adequate collection of data foi
a theory of music, and this really Is
the case, for considering the fact that
there would be no vocal sound with
out the agency of the muscles, and
these muscles would have remained
Inactive had they not been stiinuli.tec
Into action by sensations of pleasun
or p ain; It therefore follows that in
tense feeling underlies all manner of
personal expression of the vital
things that goes on in the Inner be
ing of man kind; and this Intensity
of feeling reaches Its climax In music
