with their ample courses in painting. sculpture,
architecture, literature and music. But little or
nothing has heretofore been done TO educate and
encourage our composers in the highest and most
ETHEREAL Of all the arts. There are OF course,
many able teachers Of orchestral composition,
who require careful written work in this line
from their students' This is good far II
goes but il can rarely go far enough 10 secure
free and inspiring Of the singing voices Of
the orchestra as was clearly shown by one or
two Of the works given AT the societys concerts.
II would not be possible for even a Sargent to
make portrait painters by lecturing before blind
students concerning his artistic methods how
ever eloquent and convincing his words might
be. And orchestral composers never be
adequately trained until full opportunity is given
for them 10 hear their own works. Such
opportunity is in itself more OF a stimulus to
composition than competitive prizes. That the
public viii be repaid for supporting the New
Music Society is proved by the enjoyable per-
fornance OF the Chadwick David Stanley Smith
and Converse numbers. In conclusion. the writer
wishes TO say that he is not speaking with any
authority from the society, whose policy has
been 10 make no appeal 10 the public beyond the
announcement Of its noble purpose. Sincerely
