1 asked then on what lines Mr.. Far
well thought American music would de-
velop.
Chiefly on the spiritual side-an evo-
luton from the spiritual leadings in
Wagner" he put it. THE emotional
expression has been done to the limit.
You can't go beyond the Wagnerian
expression of emotion. But the spir-
itual side
Just exactly what do you mean by
the spiritual side?" 1 ventured-'isnt
music essentially emotional?"
Mr. Farwell disagreed. suggestively.
THAT music is essentially everything.
BY its spiritual quality" he went on,
Il mean, technically. the harmonic
development Rhythm, first dis
covered, is the physical basis; melo-
dy is the emotional element; and har-
mony brings the spiritual essence.
With these at their flood you can sym
bolize anything in life"
And we're going to do it, here?"
Were going to do it here" he said
bravely, and you could not but believe
him.
On the native sources of inspiration
Mr.. Farwell had exhaustive and most
suggestive comment.
From the South we have the negro
melodies-the South has been definitely
poetized therein for all time. The
West gives US the Indian songs, count
less thousands of them. In one tribe
alone, the Navajos, Miss Alice Fletch-
er collected no fewer than 4000.'
And there are the myths" / sug-
gested.
THE myths" the lecturer took me
up, that are as valuable to the poet
as the Greek myths to a Keats. Then,
we get the Southwest with the Spanish
American genre, and yet another and
distinctly other element in the Span
ish-Indian. These 1 have been studying
all summer with Mr.. Charles F. Lum-
mis-, your great Indian authority.
Then in the north one gets the French
and Creole besides other Indian color,

Very appreciatively Mr.. Farwell then
