EARLY MUSIC IN AMERICA.
The Mournrul Days When New England
Knew Only Ten Tunes.


Knew Only Ten Tunes.
[Gath in the Cincinnati Enquirer.
The Puritans were our first musicians. They
had IN England ransacked organ galleries
burnt music books and dissolved choirs, but ii
this country they introduced congregations
singing, brought over their psalm tunes, anc
for 70 years the settlers OF Plymouth used the
psalter of Henry Ainsworth, of Amsterdam
The second book printed in British America
was the boy psalm book, in 1910, which went
through 20 editions. Rev John Cotton, grad
uate of Oxford, who had removed to Boston,
from its nam9sake place in England, argued in
favor Of solo singing and of women joining in
the leading parts. John Cotton, therefore, was
the only Cotton. that ever was king about Bos-
ton, and the big organ in that city is one OF his
posterity.
However. only about ten tunes were used in
New England in the first 70 years. The very
art of singing ran SO low that TIE preachers
themselves, who generally led the progress of
their denominations, became frightened. In
1923, a preacher named Symmes, published
book pretaced with the motto: "Of all beast
there is none that is not delighted with harmony,
but only the ass" One Of the points that he
had to combat was that the names given to the
notes were bawdy and blasphemous. The con-
gregations. however long resisted their pastors,
and the pastors often had to lead the psalms
while few OF them had any pretensions 10 mu-
sic.
Down to our great rebe lion the same antipa,.
thy to music continued through large part OF
the Christian church and to this day musical
instruments arc forbidden in the houses OF the
Dunkers ana some other sects. The first revo-
luton was N have singing schools; as the Pu-
ritan period faded away persons OF more cult
