al the "spirituaIs" or camp meeting
songs which have served to establish
:, the minds of white folk the genius
os the colored race in music. And it
has never before been heard in a for
NAL concert By an assemblage of white
folk.
Il is only the first fruit of many
months Of work, recently completed, by
Natalie Curtis in the South, under
taken in an attempt to rescue more of
the negro folk-music than has yet been
committed TO paper and to preserve it
IN more literal form than has been
attempted before. By rights there
should be more OF these songs at this
concert. but because of the shortage of
paper and labor, the glut in Transporter
ton and the many other factors we
have all heard about, and especially be-
cause Of the fact that the engravers of
music are mostly enemy aliens and
hence working under practical diff
culties, the engraved sheets of music
could not be prepared in time. Hence,
New York will at this time have the op-
portunity of hearing but one song of
Miss Curtis's harvest. But this one
serves to open the way to comment on
the rest.
All Miss Curtis's prescriptions, in
GLIDING this one, have special interest
for musicians from the fact that they
represent the spontaneous polyphonic
singing of the negroes in chorus. And
lest the reader fail to be properly i'm.
pressed with this statement, let it be
added that but three or four other
races on record can boast such spon-
taneous polyphony. Nearly all the

theorists consider it wholly artificial

had formulated a tolerable system OF
concords which might serve for a har.

consciousness until centuries after they
had begun working on contrapunta

Untutored Singers
Only few decades ago every docto
of music would have stated categorf
cally that folk-music was always an,
necessarily sung in unison-that it wa
wholly and solely unaccompanied b,
melodies. Then Nine. Lineva wrote he
book of Russian folk-songs, fostered b,
the Russian government, and, fortu
nately for our ignorant Western
scholars, published with parallel col
umns of French. Here she SHOWED
that the Russian peasants were accus

point, and proving beyond question
that the contrapuntal instinct coul,

ish experiments, with the same crop
ing for satisfactory concordant inter-
walls, with the same yearning toward
luxuriant ford design. But their
counterpart is as fresh as the other is
dusty. The one smells of clustered
arches; the other rceks with the per-
fume of the fields.
Outside of the Slavs no other people,
so far as our record goes, have adorned
their folksong5 with counterpart, save
certain black races. Percy Granger
reports that the Polynesians sing
rolyphonically, and there are other
tribes whose music is of no great
artistic Importance. But the great out
standing example, as Miss Curtis has
shown, is the American negro and his
African forebear. His polyphony
bubbles like fresh spring. 1t is tire

This is no now observation. 1t has
Keen reported from Africa that the
savages indulge in sort of part-sing-
ing. Many observers have delighted in
recording how the negroes at their
camp meetings burst in with their
"Hallelujahs." The fondness of the
colored singers for accompanying their
songs with husnming harmonies is we'll
known. But occasional musical cjacu-
lations a~e not the same thing as sus-

unconscious imitation. Most of the
original records on the subject of negro

nature as regards the technical details,
and many have been wholly untrust-

instinct to the colored race. Miss Cur

negro in picking up music has long
been a byword. Miss Curtis recalls
some of the early rehearsals of the
now famous Clef Club. 1t used to prac-
tise in small room, which gave the
trap drummer" scarcely room in
which to swing his sticks. Many Of IT'S
members were porters, walters or ele-
vator boys, who could not read music
but had learned to play their instru-
ments by ear. The leader grouped
those who could not read about those
wko could, and by some magic of the
car the ensemble was playing it's music
in admirable fashion on the thiro
trial. When part was too difficult in
stinct simpliied it. When a bal
seemed empty instinct filled it. Now
the organization plays with a perfec
ton of ensemble which many grouI
of conservatory men would not affair
until after years Of association.
This gift of approaching music fresh
ly, ardently, creativelv Miss Curti:
has found everywhere in the blacl
race, so far as she has studied it, ane
it is as marked in the chorus of {;
Southern camp meeting as in the Gle.

With the majority Of Washington

past week has.been on the dull side.
No matches or any importance were
held and no. low scores were record
ed with the exception of Fred Nc
Leod's 80, made last Wednesday at
Columbia. playing with Albert R. Nc
Kenzie. Mcleod appears to be in the
habit of getting around the Columbia
coursS.in unbelievably low figures. He
has had four scores of 81 within the
past month and half and has been
below 70 many times. When 1t is
considered that no amateur has ever
been better than II over this course,
and this only once, McLeod's golf looks
as II the ex-open champion was going
at his best gait. The, nearest score
to McLeod's record of 81 fs a 50 made
by Jim Barnes June Is in the morning
round of the Red CROSS match, and
Barnes was playing almost perfect
golf that day. - ~ -.
