What Isn't So

For their guidance and encourage
mept let it be said that it IS quite un-
truo that the ordinary concert audience
is unreceptve to unfamiliar music. a
cioso observation Of such audiences IN
the last few weeks must have con-
vinced the observer that no prejudice
whatever, conscious or unconscious eN-
lists AGAINST the unfamiliar. Casual an-
diences usually "usc" 90 new songs
with unfeigned pleasure when they are
GOOD and well sung. With such songs
,be eapable singer has nothing what
ever TO "oyercome." Nor need singers
worry overmuch, as some have done I'D
the past. concerning the popular
note" in their programmes. A casual
audience will respond TO good music
clearly presented, in just as great
proportion Of cases as will an audience
Of trained musicians. A timidity oyor
unfamiliar music Of serious and novel
aspeet is one Of the fruits Of highly
commereialized concert business ln
which the artist has exaggerated rnan-
cial stakes in his New York appear
ances. But the artist may put it down
in his notebook that this timidity IS
unfounded. lie may with perfect con-
fidence choose the best music he
knows, sing 1t in the best style OF
which he is capable, and be sure that
the "verdict" will be, humanity speak
ing, fair.
Another dogma may creep in IN the
shape Of an exaggerated concern for
the American composer. Now the
American composer has just griev-
anee against the old standard recital
programme. which, when IL contained q
place for him at ell, found it in the
trash Of "group'hve.' But II he is wise
lac will not seek 20 utilize an inchoate
musical patriotism by unloading in
ferior songs on complsisant singers. Il
must be confessed that the average OF
American song writing has been mex
ousably low. Native composers finding
the standard programme inhosp.tablo 20
their most serious work, have either
given up the writing Of songs I'm de-
spaiy OF ever hearing them sung OF
else turned to the composition Of songs
Of popular appeal" and facile senti-
mentality as the only lucrative branch
Of their profession.
New-York tribune., 1917-12-16
The Opportunity

But the present situation indeed
offers an opportunity. A number Of
able singers. of whom Christine Miller
is typical, have shown their willing
ness TO sing American songs from man
uscrip,, frequently with dedications 90
themselves. THE dedication, presum-
ably. is not O. bFbe, but gn aeknowl-
edguent. certainly no artist should feel

their choice Of them, native composers

TO do their best work. Yet they will re-
member that they command no special

measure their work by the great stand

Brahms, whose songs they are in some

own, called upon 10 replace
The wise singer in short, will not be
TOO much concerned over The nicet.es of
the "arr Of prorromme-makinc." A
good programme is a programme that
contains good music-that is the first
principle. The old programme was too
frequently regarded solely as an in
strumcrt for the exhibition Of the
singers voice. It's songs were chosen
with TOO much regard for the position
of certain notes in relation to what
the singer considered his best tones.
The new programme, we may hope,
viii be chosen with primary regard to
the pleasure Of the audience in the
music. It may well become more spe-
cialized than the miscellaneous pro-
Gramme off old. Ballad programmes,
grouped according to subject matter;
national programmes, composer pro-
rrammes, period programmes, mood
programmes, tendency" programmes,
folksong programmes, all would bring
fresh interest to the "jgded concert
coer" and would tend 10 raise the sing
or from the status Of a personal eS-
hibit to that Of an interpretive artist.
They would raise the cry Of "monot-
ony.' but we fancy the able singer
would be able 20 demonstrate its abb
urdity.
The singers instructive fear is that
such programme viii narrow his zap

as many q recent recital seems TO
show. There is something undignifed
in this concern Of the artist for his
immediate popularity We believe his
artistic position will not suffer if he
lays his chief emphasis upon the music
and regards himself as an instrument
. Of its expression. If the programme is
chosen for its inherent interest and
