Musical Comment The following article Is printed nt the request of Mrs. Raymond "It mny ndd lntoroBt to the render ing of Dvorak's symphony in convoca tion Thursday If tho listener under stands to what extent it is an Amer ican work and why It is entitled "From the Now World." The Bohemian, Anton Dvorak, had achieved his most successful composi tions through the use of the folk song of his own people and when he came to America in 1892 to take chargo of tho National Conservatory in Now York it wns but natural that he should bellovo that American music, to have national flavor, should be based upon American folk song. Tho only people who produce folk song In this country are the Indians and tho negroes. The old plantation melodies of the south ern negroes ho found extremely orig innl and interesting and this sym phony "Ifrom the Now World" Is his attempt to use their peculiar rythms and harmonies in classical form. BOTH STORES Those who are familiar with tho old slavo melodies as sung by the Jubilee Singers, such as "Swing Low. Sweet Chariot." "Nobody Knows the. Trubble I See," and so on, will recog nlzo tho similarity of the themes of the slow movements of the symphony. Tho traditional gayoty or tho negro is woll expressed In tho rythm of tho last movement, embodying a familiar type of plantation dance. While many musicians do not agree with Dvorak that the typically Amer ican music will be founded on such themes, It cannot bo denied that ho has revealed in this symphony a won derful sourco of beautiful and original melody, and Amoricans owo hlhi muph for embodying them In such a satisfactory form. Tho symphony Is, of courgo, written for full orchestra, and naturally loses In ctolor and va riety when It Ib played, howovor well, by a fow Instruments. Nevertheless, It is a delightful work as glve"n by this quartet and organ.
