t
.ERSONALLY we consider
Henry T. Finck of the New
York Evening Post one of
the livest and most inter
esting writers of the day
tiDon musical subjects. He
is ardently patriotic, and many times
he finds occasion to blend his patriot
ism with music. His editorials are
timely and to the point and he is a
staunch supporter of the best in music.
Only a short time ago he wrote
that a society ought to be formed for
the suppression of superfluous re
citals, particularly song recitals. He
goes on to sav that "Schopenhauer
wrote that boredom is the greatest of
nil tArftivas T Vila tAfiir rmiciral
critics are now subjected at most of
the song recitals they attend." One
reason for this, he says, is that the
war has lowered the quality of the
still numerous recitals given by elim
inating the masterworks of the great
est writers of classic lyric art song,
- and who had "as little to do with
Prussian militarism as the man in the
moon. But in wartime, prejudice runs
high, and is undiscriminating." Mr.
Finck suggests that those singers who
have the courage to defy unreason
able prejudice will be wise to give
up the texts in the German language,
against which a reasonable prejudice
exists, and use the good English texts
provided by Ditson and Schirmer for
most of the best German songs. And
then Mr. Finck says this: -
"What most of our singers do not
realize' is that first class song recitals
can be given even without the Ger
man Lieder. , If singers with
good voices are scarce, infinitely more
so are singers with taste, brains and
intelligence. Perhaps, one in 10 fif
the songs inflicted'- upon the public
this season was chosen for its in
trinsic musical merits; the other nine
were chosen because the singers
thought them particularly suited to
show off the best quality of their
voices.' Why -not, for a change, try,
the plan of selecting songs for their
musical merit? Omit the Germans and
Austrians, if you like; there are plenty
of 'first class songs by non-Teutons
to make, a delightful as well as a suc
cessful concert season. The principal
song writers who remain to be ex
ploited properly and profitably are
Grieg, Chopin, Rubenstein, Liszt,
Tchaikovisky, Paderewski and Mac
Dowell. Besides them there are plenty
of others who have written master
songs, among them Bizet, Saint
Saens, Faure, Paladilhe, Gounod,
Dvorak, Massenet, Chadwick, Foote,
William Arms Fisher, Harvey Worth
in gtoii Loomisandjidozen others."
He followed this -with a timely re
print, from Musical America, which
editorially rebuked "the bovine stu
pidity of recital singers for the abiding
disregard of the finest songs of the
Russians, Moussorgsky and Ruben
stein, the Norwegian Greig, and the
American MacDowell at a time when
the passions 'of the moment are
operating against the works of
Schubert, Schumann, Franz, Brahms
and other masters. Of course, it was
r.ot tobe supposed that anything short
of a persistent crusade would shake
singers out of their apathetic ways,
and it must be confessed that re
cital programs at the end of the sea
son are quite as bad as they were at
the beginning. J. he trash one hears
from singers of presumable intel
ligence simply numbs the brain. Prob
ably it will be as bad next year.
Stupid'ty is the cause of it all stupid
' ty, before which the gods themselves
are powerless."
It further recommends to singers
with voice, temperament and the style
to do them justice, the greater lyrics
of Grieg, the songs of such nobility
and tragic grandeur as "A Young
Woman's Bier," "At Mother's Grave"
and "False Friendship." Many singers
could, if they would, delight their
hearers past belief if heaven be
stowed upon them enough sense of
the common or horse variety to take
the advice of those who know where
of they speak. Grieg wrote many
other things than "I Love Thee,"
"The Swan," "The .Way of the
World," "In a Boat" and "My
Thought Is Like a Mighty Crag."
"A song Jike 'False Friendship' is
very nearly as great as Schubert's
'Doppelganger' but who has ever
sung it here? At Mother's Grave' has
a tragic sublimity that is of the stock
of Beethoven but who knows it? 'On
the Journey Home' ranks with the
mosM intimately conceived and fer
vent of emotional lyrics. How many
times has it appeared on a program
this year or in the last 10 years? 'The
Minstrel's Song.' 'The Mountain
Maid,' 'Ragna,' 'The Youth,' 'Good
Morning,' 'Solveig's Cradle Song'
are these even names to those recital
ists who follow in the wake of their
colleagues to exploit some' wretched
imitations and perversions of Debus
sy's style or some vulgar and cheaply
sentimental salon ditty?
"The elimination of the classics has
made programs . flabby and inverte
brate. Grieg's songs are, for the most
part, as substantial, as 'meaty' as
those of Schumann or Franz." .
Then only last week Mr. Finck
comes out joyfully recommending a
patriotic chorus, "America's Mes
sage," - by Harvey Worthington
Loomis and Arthur Edward John
stone, which he calls a real inspira
tion, "providing," according to Percy
Grainger, "an absolutely ideal solu
tion of the hitherto unsolved prob
lem of how to combine the musically
trained with the musically untrained
people in massed meetings." "Amer
ica's Message," Mr. Finck says, "was
inspired by President . .Wilson's
memorable address of April 6, 1917.
It consists" of an original melody by
air. jonnstone, wnicn is most in-.
geniously combined with the tune
'America.' The first and second
stanzaS- are sung to Mr. Johnstone's
tune, "which is easily caught, the third
and fourth stanzas 'are sung simul
taneously by two choruses, one using
the. Johnstone melody and the other
singing the tune 'America.' The ef
fect of the two melodies, thus com
bined, ,is overwhelming. It gives the
masses the same thrills that expert
music ' lovers get from the compli
cated scores of the great masters."
The thrill of thrills comes at the sev
enth! bar of the third and fourth
stanzas, where the tunes overlap, the
voices ! that sing 'America rising to
the high D, while the other tune
comes to a quiet cadence. The effect
is electric, stunning. The
original text added by Loomis to
Johnstone's tune is the only patriotic
bd
text known to the writer which de
claims itself with the music. It fits
like a Yale key."
Then Mr. Finck takes the occasion
to remark that singers and players
who look askance 'at German music
just now will be able to find among
Harvey Worthington Loomis works
plenty of gems wherewith to -dazzle
next season's audiences. For guid
ance let them consult the chapter on
Loomis in Rupert Hughes' admirable
book on "American Composers." The
discovery of the genius of Loomis
was one of the great achievements
of Antonin Dvorak. His music has
more affinity with the French muse
than with the German. Among his
works are many piano compositions
of charm, sprightliness and humor,
among them two books of "Lyrics of
the Red Man" and many other songs
brimming with poetry and character,
among them "In the Foggy Dew,"
"Love Comes, Love Goes," "Hark,
Hark, the Lark," and songs of negro
characters such as the exquisite "Hour
of the Whippoorwill." After reading
all of these interesting things about
programs which it is possible to build
without the use of German classics,
and at the same time to have worth
while programs we are forced to but
one conclusion., - ,
If it is considered German propa
ganda nowadays to present on music
al programs the best compositions
of the best German writers of for
mer times" why isn't it just the same,
German propaganda to present on
musical programs compositions which
are not the best compositions of the
best writers of allied countries or of
America' of any time?

Foulard Now a
Great Favorite
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD
FRENCH fashion reports say that
the "Parisenne" is wearing
foulard. Whatever the women of
stricken France who, throughout their
terrible ordeal, have held their heri
tage of beauty, are wearing, certain it
is that foulard is a strong favorite
oyer here. This fabric is really in
keeping with the spirit of thrift, en
couraged by the government, because
foulard obviates laundry excepting
vest or collar, and with occasional
pressing looks cool and fresh all sum
mer. 'This darted bodice carries a
guimpe vest cf white organdie, like
wise pockets, cuffs and sash, all of
which are detachable. Even the pock
ets "snap" into place. Gingham will
develop beaut'fulfy in this model, or
soft voile or crepe de chine.

EAR READERS: Since early
childhood, I presume all of us
have had quotations; we've sort of
"been brought up on" little tidbits of
mental pabulum which have been con-
, .. t . t

cheerful living and thinking.
One, with which I'm sure you're all
familiar, and which certainly should
be a comfort on days when every-
thing seems at odds, is that beautiful

verse, "Every day is a fresh beginning,
every day is a world made new."

A new day dawns
Before my sleep-ste'eped eyes,
Suddenly great rose-hued bars
Steal across the skies;
The morning mist so pale
Melts to the ethereal blue, t
Glorious I a golden orb
Declares itself to view.
Whence comest thou O Sun
From out thy mystic shrine?
Another day has dawned,
What part is mine?
Our yesterdays are past,
Tomorrows never come,
What good, what opportunities
Are mine with this day's sun.

silk skirts as I did see this week at
Herzberg's Women's Toggery, 1517

and then came the bloom of the
blushing rose and the soft, cerulean
blue of a May day sky, new Oriental

the materials of such softness and
