Composers Cannot Tell Just How
They Do It.

A st. Lofts composer. whose operas
have achieved popularity all over the
United States, was recently asked how
he composed music.
Il don't know" he said. sometimes
a melody is suggested to me by the
words of poem, sometimes by a
sound like the rumble of a street car,
or the rattle OF the wheels of a rail-
road train. and sometimes it comes as
an inspiration without any origin that
can be traced. People occasionally
have the idea that, after a melody is
written. the composer must sit down
at the piano and hammer out a har-
mOny, but. as fact. no musician ever
hears a melody without II the same
time heading in his own mind all the
harMcnies that are appropriate to it"
A St. Louis orchestra leader. who is
also composer. says that he never
tries to write music until he feels the
inspiration.
Sometimes days will pass without
writing a line. simply because l feel
no inclination to write. Then. all Of
a sudden, without any notice, melodies
