Great Antiquity Of the Refrain.

The various refrains of folk-songs and
ballads would make a most interesting
subject for philologists and antiquarians
to investigate, for these refrains seem to
come down from very ancient days and
are found even among some barbaric
races. The Maoris of New Zealand, for
example, have long refrains in words
which they themselves do not under
stand, but which they assert have come
down to them from their remote ances-
tors. The Indians of Canada, when first
met by the early Jesuits, sang a refrain
which sounded very much like -allelula"
and which Immediately led the pious
fathers to imagine that they had discov-
cred the lost tribes of Israel. The Eng
lish refrain of derry down. or "hey,
derry down." is said to have been orig
inally druidical charm. Naturally,
some Of these refrains bear immediate
evidence that they are only meaning
less jingle, meant to piece out the words
and melody. -Fackelorum, dideldo-
rum" or sdudel, didel, dunn" probably
had no more meaning in the old German
songs than -tra, Ia, La" in the ancient
and modern English ones.-Boston Mus
ical Journal.

Russian Music I'm Minor Keys.

The Russian popular airs are noticeable
AS are those of Norway, Finland, and
of Hungary-for being mostly in minor
keys; other European nations having
favored the major mode-the Germans
SO much 80, indeed, that there are only
2 per cent. of minor tunes among their
volkslieder. That the minor keys lend
themselves readily to the expression of
either the abandonment of grief or Of
Joy. according to the rate of movement
with which they are associated, is a COM
monplace of musical aesthetics. Karam.
sin attributed this melancholy in Russian
music to the sufferings of Russia under
the Monaghan yoke; writers of the
school of NJ. Tame would point to the
landscape and climate of the country,
to the monotony of the forest lands, and
to the wide, dreary plains, now frozen
and now sun-baked. The fact is, how
ever, that the Russian is one of the most
cheerful Of mortals, easily moved to
mirth, and unwilling to depart from it;
nor is there any reason to believe his
cheerfulness to be modern develop
ment. The general character of a nation
and the character of its national music,
have really but little relation; the causes
which lead to the formation of national
style being both numerous and complex
in their working.-St. James Gazette.
