MUSIC OF NIAGARA.
The Harmonics and the Rhythm o.
the Mighty Cataract.

| Trinity Record.
Eugene Thayer. the well-known organist.
Me- NE pupHsneo an analysis Of the music of
| niagara faIls. He says:
IL mac ever been my belief that Niagara
had not been heard as it should he and In
WIS MS oe sis | turned my steps hitherward
| heard nothing but a perfectly constructed
| musical tone, clear definite, and unapproach-
able In its majestic perfection, a Complete
series of tones, all uniting in one grand and
| noble unison, as in the organ"
Mr.. Thayer then describes at some length
the the compound nature of given tone and
i i the overtones or partials Of the
lowest c OF the S2-foot pipe of the organ.
| Then he continues:
II had long had a suspicion that sbou1d
| hear all this at Niagara when her wonderf,,I
voice should first greet my ears 1t was inst s
as l had supposed. How should 7 nrove all
this? My first step was to visit the beautiful
IRIS Island, otherwise known as Goat island
My next step was to stand on Luna island
| above the central fall, and on the west side
of the American fall proper I went on the
extreme eastern side OF the island in order to
get the full force of the larger fall and sat
among the rapids. Next went to the Three
Sisters island.
with more or less variation of pitch at
these and many other points, heard ever
where the notes of the chord G. only four
octaves lower.
II arrived at my conclusions both theo-
attention to the third and fourth notes. D
and G.
The ground note. G, was SO deep, SO
grand, SO mighty, that / never could realize
it or take in into my thought or hearing
but these two tones, only four octayes lower
were everywhere, with a power which made
itself felt as well heard,
but, 1t will be replied, these two notes
were too low to be detected by the sense OF
hearing. How did determine their pitch?
81 first caught the harmonic notes above
them that were definite in pitch, and then
counting the number of vibrations of these
lower two notes, easily determined their dis
lance below.
"And here comes a curious feature which
proves that Niagara gives tone and not .
roar. The seventh note, the interval of the
tenth, was OF power and clearness entirely
out of proportion to the harmonics as usualIy
heard in the organ.
.'Were the tone of Niagara a mere noise.
this seventh note would be either weak or
confused or absent altogether.
