In tho present atmosphere of musical
training it is quite certain that vocal
lists do not flourish. For one thing the
tendency of modern music is all against
that kind of composition in which sing.
ers used most 10 delight and which pro.
vided them with their principal artistic
diet. Tho roulades of n day that is dead
were perfect training for the voice and
were really only Objectionable when
they occupied the place of real music
Now that different ideal is set up
these excellent exercises have almost
entirely gone out of fashion, and young
and tender voices are ruined or broken
on intellectual compositions that they
cannot grasp or interpret.
Ii is VIGOROUSLY far easier to make a
silk purse out of sow's ear than to
transform q singer into musician.
and in nine cases out of ten either the
student rebels against the training and
MARBLES his beloved nonsense to the de.
light of his amateur friends and the
most indulgent section of the public or
develops into an admirable musician
without a scrap of voice. The question
Of the battle between vocal and intel
lectual training is too large "a question
to be discussed here, but it may be
pointed ont that the few artists who
manage by tho help of "a peculiarly hap
py combination of circumstances to
learn the art of intelligent expression
without losing tho beauty of voice that
is tho gift of nature need fear no undue
competition. National Review
