in the history of art may truthfully
be said to be epochal. His appear
ance il the Anal demonstration of a
truth: The elimination of period Of
uncertainty and strife in regard to
the destiny Of an English spoken mu-
sic. McCormack's achievement puts
at rest a prolonged debate. That con-
troversy involved the question whether
a musical art finds it's best expression
In q native tongue; whether q higher
or more potential expression of art
can be attained by the production OF
melody In a native language; whether
music for Americans can be more ef-
fectively and beautifully rendered in
the English language.
John Mccormack is living refu-
tation of all and every argument
against song in English. His art Is
at once SO simple and masterful that
he writes with his melody an accurate
and full expression of the ideas and
sentiments embodied in the language
he uses. This Is the consummation
of art. Mere melody without thought
and sentiment, Is much better than
nothing: but melody reinforced by
thought and sentiment, becomes alb
solutely resistless in both power and
beauty. And once Mccormack is
heard in song, the question Of the
sweetness and Righteousness of the
English language as . vehicle OF mu-
steal expression. 10 no longer open to
doubt. As q medium of expression. 1t
is made by him apt and beautiful.
The assertion. therefore, that the
appearance of John Mccormack. in
the Evolution Of American music at
the present time Is epochal. Is en-
trely justified. He becomes the
transition from the current fallacies
regarding the propriety OF giving
opera in English to solid demonstra-
ton Of its wisdom. He exhibits the
art OF song in the beauty of its sim
plicity and power by combining mel
ody with thought. No form Of art
is really potential unless 1t breathes
ideation and emotion. When art ac-
complishes this contamination. It per-
firm its legitimate and true func-
ton. For generations song in
| America has been slowly working
| its way toward its true destiny.
Mccormack has aided in effectin g
this result. He has so firmly estab-
lished the true principles of song art
as to force home the conviction that
opera in English Is the only basis
upon which may be reared an endur-
| able American opera. The solution
of this problem by this artist has Sc
cured to him, not only the homage
of the present generation. but a place
in the evolution of true art"
