1t was not to indulge in speculations
like these, however, that we called at
tention to the essay in "The Musical
Times" but to consider the thoughts
which Mr.. Graingcr's wordless songs
have evoked in the mind of Mr.. Dent.
He has not yet heard the marching
Song Of Democracy,' which, though it
seems to have required several hun
dred lines taken from Walt Whitman's
yawps to elucidate its sentiments, has
for its vocal basis nothing but meaning
less vocables, and even these the
singers are told they can change to
suit their individual whims. Blu.
though Mr. Dent has not heard the
wonderful song with his physical ears,
he has seen the printed page, and ad
mits that it gives one Il shudder to
look at it's score. and he invokes

enough to carry it off. 1t is written
for chorus and has no words except
that such syllables as pom POM and
'diddlc diddle- dunn are printed under
the notes, with the very sensible dircc-
ton that singers are at liberty to sing
either these or any other nonsense
syllablcs that they may find convenient.
The nonsense syllablcs are disconcert-
ing only because we arc not accustomed

accepted ra-la-la' and, laterly, ri
toral-l-lay as literary conventions.
They belong to the PASTORAL and
'hucolic' categories and are guaranteed
respectable in any society But re-
spectacle is the last thing Percy Ora N
ger wants his musicfto be. The way
10 look at it is not to be put Off
by these queer syllablcs, but to regard
then, as directions for style, like any
other marks of expression. The really
essential thing is not the words but

writer was given an Iroquois nave
while collecting traditional music in
the Reserve Of the Six Nations, in Can
ada, years ago he asked the meaning
Of the words of the initatory song
which was sung during the ceremonial
They consisted of a rciteraton Of
ryllables like "Ook-wa-lee, Ook." The
only explanation which he could get
from an old chief, who was master of
ceremonies and principal singer, was
that he did not know what tho words
meant, but it was "the way bear walk
on log The words may have had a
meaning once, or may have always been
onomatopes, but the song would have
lost its efficacy without them.
owe might even get as far as an
opera without Words" says Mr.. Dent,
ignorant of the fact, apparently, that
such an opera was actually composed
! thlrty-tlve or more years ago by Asger
Hammerik, in Baltimore. We never
heard the opera, but it cannot have
been quite as fantastic as Mr.. Dents
fancy conjures up. "Plays without
words are not unknown" he says, "and
musical plays without words are an
established convention" We suppose
opera without words would solve many
difficulties, and might eventually lead
US to see that the principles of opera
are not Identical with those Of drama.
An opera should deal with just those
emotions which words cannot cxprcas."
but which "pom-pom, ri di- diddle -di-
day can, we suppose; but let Mr.. Don't
have his say: "A wordless opera, in
stead of borrowing a plot with a maxi
mum of incident, like 'Tosca' or
Fedora would have to be based on
some story that everybody knows, such
as the legend of Orpheus, so that there
should be no need of tiresomc explana-
tons on the stage. And we should then
get rid of the nilh-puuch 0 qvisj.y?

as Consul Sharpless says himself).
the unnecessary realistic touch which
merely serves to make all opera ap-
pear the more unnatural and absurd"
All we need, then, for a lbretto is q
familiar plot and a rigmarole of vo-
cables for the composer to hang his
music on. Once upon a time a Chi
cago journalist attempted to make
merry at the expense Of Italian opera.
lie thought he was a humorst, but he
was unconsciously lbrcttist of the

duetto (Which are quite as meli0uous
ana servlceablc as vehicles of musical
tones as Grainger's nonsense syllables):

valor en- los actuales ~momentos, los
propietarios de ~terrenos ~petroleros Y
las companies que los explotan. pro-
testaron contra ella, por juzgarla
a~tentatoria a. derechos legitimamente

La ley, tai y como esta, es algo
como principle de una v~erdadera
appropriation, Y lesiona grandes in
