FOLK SONG AS OLD AS MAN
University Professor Has Told of its
Compelling Influence on Abso-
Lutte Music.

Ever since human beings began to
use musical sounds to express feel
ings. some sort of folk song has un.
doubtedly existed. writes Prof Fred
erick Holmberg of the University of
Oklahoma. according to the Spring
field (Mass.) Republican. but most Of
the folk songs as we know them to-
day are of fairly recent origin, having
been written not more than FIVE or six
centuries ago. Folk songs and dances
are both father and mother of modern
music 1t was great struggle when
the early Christian musical scientists,
with their technical perversions. had
to give up using music as handmade
to their poetry and their ritual church
service, and to accept the living hu.
man folk song as basis for the music
of their churches. It was a great
musical discovery when gifted com
posers found that folk songs of diff
ferent characteristics could be welded
into one composition giving the need
ed contrasts and still retain their
unity.
When this was done we were given
some of the essential forms of musical
composition and we're fairly on the
way toward creating a new art. name
ly. absolute music" such as is found
in the works of Bach. Haydn. Mozart
and Beethoven. The folk song caused
a musical revolution and the end OF
this revolution is not in sight. Our
best composers are striving at all
times to idealize the folk songs and
dances of some great nation. and the
material Is still abundant.
Naturally a question one may ask
regarding this interesting subject Is,
What is the folk song? How did It
originate?" We know the names OF
very few composers of folk songs:
most of the songs have come into be-
ing suddenly, without premedttation
dictated by the feelings of some in.
dividual living under certain social
conditions. One thing alone is sure
the folk song is not a premeditated
composition by some skillful profes.

Drink lots of water-you can't drink
