cations. The parts in the spirituals
which Miss Curtis has collected pre-
served their own individuality, moving
in lively and highly rhythmic me-
lodic line, which does not always result
in harmony satisfying to more So
phisticated ears. These HARMONIC
mistakes" are precious to musicians.
Not only~do they prove that the negro's
musical culture is still in process Of
growth, but they frequently generate
new musical possibilities which may
be developed into impressive racial
traits
The spontaneity of the negro's sing
ing has struck Miss Curtis the more
forcibly because she has specialized
chiefly in Indian folkmusic, which is
usually sung with rigid and ceremonial
uniformity. Miss Curtis is known to
many students as the author Of "The
Indians Book" compilation of Indian
tunes and legends, published Gin 1910
by Harper's. and of book of corn
grinding songs gathered from the
Pueblo tribes and published by G
Schirmer. She entered the field Of
negro music a little reluctantly, in
ssting that colered musician would
be best fitted for the work. Her non
puea culpd lies in the fact that she was
invited, nay commanded, to do the

the witch doctor sings as he exercises
the evil spirits out of a patient. He
operates in trance, under the in1u-
ence of familiar spirit. But at the
close of the session the spirit leaves
him, and he bids it farewell in a live
ly strain which mingles with the quite
distinct melody sung by the people All
the data she has been able to gather
about native African music confirm
her belief that polyphonic singing
among many tribes is spontaneous.
This instinct crossed the water with
the black folk on their tragic journey
into slavery. 1t blossomed out in al
most all the singing they did on Amer
lean soil, in the cotton field, in the
camp meeting, on the levee. The
negro adorned his songs with contra
puntal voice-parts, which groped tow
ard full and satisfying harmony AMI
added inexhaustible rhythmic and me-
lcdic variety. After some decades on
this continent he acquired a true har-
monic sense, perhaps by unconscious
imitation from such part-singing as he
heard from the whites, or possibly by
the natural process of harmonic evolu-
ton. By the time of the Civil War, il
appears, he was singing a true har
monic accompaniment to his melodies
But the polyphonic instinct was no
submerged, as it is in church congre

wanted a cable around Florida to
New Orleans.
The mechanical and Industrial
achievements of the Civil War were
so credible to the United States that
Americans at once won the admira-
ton of Europe for their resourceful-
ness in invention and organization
and carried the impetus further by
applying their new found power to
the arts Of peace. Railroad build
ing and telegraph laying and steel
and clothing manufacturing became
a habit.
The early months, and, for that
matter, the first year and a half OF
the war show remarkable adaptive
ness IN meeting transportation prob
lens. AS the nation was young in
manufactures, it took longer to de-
yelop complete national mastery
of munitions.
There is remarkable absence Of
breakdowns in quartermaster, ord
nance or commissariat stores. Con-
gress felt called upon to investigats
the tardiness of the generals in COM
mand. 1t found the financial prob
lens difficult in the extreme. It
found in Northern sedition a foe
second only to sedition in the South.
But the gigantic operations were
carried on without any debacle
caused by failure Of supplies.
But great as is our production
problem, and relatively easier as
was Lincoln's, the actual achieve
ments of the Americans of 1864 give
US fresh assurances that the genius
OF the people positively must assert
and express itself in great war pro-
duction achievements in 1918.

DEVELOPMENT as applied to war.
The telegraph was at that time d
comparatively new feature in COM
mercial life. Wires had been ex-
tended further west than the Allie
ghanies only six years. The tele..
graph Immediately became one Of
the fundamental instruments of
warfare. Lincoln sat beside the
ticker in the War Office for hours
at time, keeping in close touch
with the armies. General McClel-
Ian had a poor opinion of Lincoln's
strategic capacity as a commander
in chief, an opinion not shared by
other observers. However this may
be, Lincoln's finger was on the pulse
of the armies in the field at every
moment, through the new and mar
vellous device.
Railroads, armored ships, tele-
graph wires and many editioned
newspapers helped to make the con.
fiict even more gigantic than else it
would have been because Of the in
creased power of mobilization. It
cannot be said that the wireless, the
aeroplane and the submarine equal
in their fundamental Importance the
application of the Civil War inno-
vations to warfare. Or, if such a
generalization be challenged, still it
in turn challenges.
simultaneously with the telegraph
went the development of the deeu
sea cable. Cyrus w. Field started
out to Europe by way of Alaska and
Siberia with a short cable. The
transatlantic cable project was
begun. Lincoln, with his usual fore
sight, encouraged cable laying and

ceived the news that the inadequate-
ly armored warships of that day
were just SO much useless junk in
the face of the new and terrible
armored and turreted Monitor.
Great Britain found her great fleet
as idle as so many painted ships
and Immediately started to work TO
recover herself from the position of
being without a fleet by building the
modern armored ship. Great things
have happened before our day.
Gideon Wells, Secretary of the
Navy, had asked Congress for ST.

1t all depends on the lay of the song
and how All feels
From an instinct as fresh, as accu-
rate and as true as the negro possesses
there might we'll flower something TO
puzzle the inexpert collector. And this
seems to be what has happened, for
few of the we'll meaning persons who
have transcribed negro folksongs in
the past have been technically trained
musicians.
All the spirituals have been pre-
served to us hitherto only in the. form
Of single melody, and too often that
r,elody has been simplified and civil
lied until it lost it's racial character.
Miss Curtis determined to get to the
bottom of the matter. She took pains
TO have the songs sung as they were
sung on their rative heath, without any
OF the se!f-consciousnes of an exhibi
ton performance. She provided her
self with an ananuensls in the shape
& phonograph, as most folksong col
cable. She spent many hours decipher-
lMg her disks and transcribing the
music to paper in such a way as to
preserve all the nuances of rhythm,
accent and ph,asing. She worked in
tensively. Numerically her harvest is
not large. for she spent her time and
efforts on the obtaining of the most
accurate possible transcription of
few songs, not only of the parts, but
Of every variation of syncopation an1
phrasing through all the stanzas. The
collection, which is soon to be pub
lished by G. Schirmer & Co. under the
name of Natalie Curtis Burlin, COM
prises sixteen part-songs, carefully
worked out in all details, some Of
which have never before been recorded
in any form These, Miss Curtis hopes.
will be a permanent contribution to
the literature of the subject.

up her results with work in the field
and feels sure they have not suffered
from the indoor atmosphere. So far
as they go they prove the theory of
the negro's polyphonic instinct up to
the hilt.
Not Taught by Whites
But it is still possible to maintain
that the negro was unconsclously
tutored in such matters by white folk
So in order to check her theory fur
ther and carry her Investigations back
beyond the influence of the whites,
Miss Curtis spent much time with two
negro boys at the institute, newly ar
rived from Africa, one from Portu-
guese East Africa and the other from
Natal. Both these lads had brought
with them the songs of their people,
a people who had had scarcely any
association with the whites and GER
tainly no musical education from them.
And they reported the same thing
that the blacks in Africa mingle their
melodies in a true counterpart. One
Of their songs she sang for the inter-
viewer. 1t is lovely thing, instinct
with rhythm and emotion. This song

of 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 transporta-
tion 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 transcriptions, in
cluding 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

fitted one tune to another until they
had formulated a tolerable system OF
concords which might serve for a har.
monic system. Our modern conception

consciousness until centuries after they
had begun working on contrapunta
voices.

necessarily sung in unison-that it wa

scholars, published with parallel col
