MUSIC Of SLAVS
BORN OF RELIGION

The war awakened a widespread
interest in the CzechO-SlovalS races.
The little that is generally known Of
their music is interesting reading.
The first Bohemian tunes were OF
a religious character. Even away
back in the early days music was on
the curriculum Of the University AT
Prague.
Later, we are informed by writer
in the London Musical News, THE
Hussite Wars (l4l9-6S) turned mems
minds from secular music. Love
songs, drinking or dancing songs, did
not accord with the grim struggles Of
eonsoiences which then absorbed the
Bohemian people. Hus himself was
quick to realize the great power Of
music as a prOpagandist force. In his
time the Latin hymns were eagerly
translated into the vernacular. Hymns
which are practically fierce war songs
were composed, or adapted to fresh
words, and collected in finely illum-
mated manuscripts. Each religious
party had its own hymns. A few of
the sturdy hymns OF this period have
crept into English collections, where
they are vaguely Distinguished by the
words prague" or 'Moraviaw The
tunes are still familiar to the Czecho-
SIovaks, and could be more appropri-
ately fused TO welcome them in our
midst than the Russian national an
them"

MUSIC ESSENTIAL,
STRACCIARI HOLDS

Among the beneficial influences
which have been exerted by the war
the big impetus given to the put
ling Of music on its just level Of ap-
probation, according to Riccardo
Stracciari, whose baritone voice and
splendid art have been so often used
in war songs as well as in operatia
arias. Stracciari declares that tho
American soldiers and sailors found
they could not DO without music.
In the United States today" Strac-
ciari declares, people are fast be-
coming convinced that music is quite
necessary to right mental and moral
growth. The people Of this country
began to realize this a few years ago,
but the final confirmation by the life
Of war times has settled the question
for good and ali. Our fighting men
declare that without music they
would have found il difficult to carry
on
"On the long hike. when the gun
felt as though IL weighed a ton: in
the trenches, when thoughts drifted
homeward over the sea; on the decks
of torpedoed transports; when a song
was the source OF discipline main
tained-then it was that music came
into its own.
I'VE all want music. 1t is some
thing every normal person Graves"

Ministry of Fine Arts
To Promote Harmony,
AdvOcated By Freund

music-by freedom-by the self-ex-
preston of the individual
Then Mr.. Freund drew a picture OF
a shoe factory. Modern machinery
has given each individual there a
small bit of work to do, in the max
ing of a shoe, and that bit becomes
so monotonous that it is maddening.
Put a phonograph into this place.
Immediately the spirits are lifted, the
thoughts are of harmony-not strikes.
In the final analysis, music in labor
can be made a means for better citi-
Zenship, by creating a happier people.
I'm many of the parades through
out the country" he related, pa
rades that were a part Of our Liberty
loan campaigns and other national ex-
pressions OF our spirit in the war,
one of the most inspiring touches was
the singing of the school children.
"a scene of many thousands Of
them marching and singing, in one in
stance, so affected Secretary McAdoo
that it took him several minutes to
regain his composure before he could
address a gathering"
"All this has spiritual signifl-
cance to the people. 1t is out Of this
that the taste is to go on and on, to
our symphonies, our greater music
time But" and here Mr. Freund
returned to his original theme
Have a ministry of the fine arts
to see to it that we have our opera
houses, our municipal halls, our na-
tional opera, if you will.
Let it be the business OF some
branch Of the Government to care
for this spiritual expression of the
people, and then will the thing enter
into their being.
Music and happiness. Well-being
and goodness.
For where happiness dwells, crime
does not enter. Crime is forgotten
while music sounds.
For the good of the state. for the
good of human souls, a ministry Of
the fine arts here in the United
States Of America could amply min
lister"

WOULD PUT SPIRIT
OF LAND IN MUSIC

A writer in Musical America, re-
Eretting we have but. little in strong
American compositions. adds
We have prairies; who scans them?
We have mountains; who climbs
them? Some Of our music makers
do. or did, honestly believe. Yet
the authentic breath Of these phe-
nomena has somehow not passed into
the recordings of our composers it
seems to me. Certainly no. as it
has into the sonorous. windsWept
word-music of Whitman. Not MAJ
Dowell nor yet Cadman has voiced
the crude, brave spirit that is Amer
lea. Most of their pages are too
sweet-smelling, give forth the
honey odor OF the bungalow or the
sunless air Of the salon.
The black earth, the dissonant
truths with which a Moussorg5ky
pelted the world crying, ''Here is
Russia, my Russia, the Russia 1 live
in and that bore me. / love it and
il has spoken TO mev'-we miss this
passionate, compelling accent in the
speech of our composers.
I do not despair Of the American
composer. He will come, he surely
viii come. He may be even now in
our midst, articuIate but unheaFd
among the babel OF shriIler, shreGd-
sr voices. But ! believe that he is
on the way. His arrival will be of
a piece with the new day that is
ahead of America; a day bringing
with il altered values, a spontaneous
turning toward and yearning for
things sensed, not touched. The
hand Of the material that has long
estranged US from the spirit will at
last be lifted. New currents will
sweep through the land

Why a ministry OF the fine arts in
the Government Of the United
States?' The question holds, in the
vision Of John c. Freund, editor OF
Musical America, thoughts and argu-
ments that summon to this field of
are the world OF labor, OF education
of communities; and, again, of state
craft, and even down to the bone-dry
law,
And why?
Mr. Freund is in Washington "a
speak on this subject at the Arts
Club dinner this evening. He talked
over the after-dinner coffee last
evening with The Times representa-
tive, and evolved many of our ma
tional dreams into large, potential
possibilities that gain the force OF a
lifelong experience in the promoting
Of music for our nation.
"You can't inject a symphony or
chestra into a community before It
wants it, he said. You can't i'm
pose classic music on the people
when what they want is ragtime.
What they really want, you know"
he added, with that touch of humor
and humanity that makes his words
so memorable, what they really
wants rhythm"
This is not to say that so great a
factor in the development of music
in America as is MrpFreund finds rag
time the level of the people, but
What is the forum Of a democ-
racy?" he asked. And answered the
question himself.
'aThe street
One Of Mr.. Freund's greatest props-
gandas for music has been to urge
a marching, singing people. Cover
nor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania was
the first State executive to issue an
order for the school children to marcn
through the streets singing, and 1t
was at the suggestion of John c.
Freund.
what greater return can we make
to our boys who have fought this
great war than to meet them, on their
return, as a happy people!
What does one find, when the band
plays, when the people sing? Hap
piness. And that happiness is &
spiritual expression that is boru
through music.
What is II that our boys IouBht
for?
LIT was not that Germany or Eng
land should dominate the seas. Not
that democracy should slay autoc-
racy. 1t was for an ideal.
at was that babes should no longer
be sacrificed to bloodthirstY
Moloch. but that happiness should be
the right of peoples"
And then il was that Mr.. F'reuad
grew caustic at the expense Of eX-
cessive reform, the forwarding now
OF legislation against my Lady Nico-
tine, to follow the edict against all
use of stimulants.
They want to legislate the people
OF the United States into morality
and send them to Heaven by law"
And what has this to do with
music?
This! In lamenting too much legis-
Iation as an infraction Of the ideals Of
democracy he finds IL also a curtail-
ment OF the spontaneous JOY Of the
people.
He wants to promote that joy my

ORNSTEIN'S Poems
OF 1917" PRAISED

OF Poems OF 1917" by Leo Orn-
stein. Op. Al. Musical America writes
in its review Of new music:
Leo Ornstein has produced moth
ing more amazing than this set Of
ten piano compositions, issued under
one cover. And we doubt if there
are more remarkable pieces any
where. By which we do not mean tFa,
Mr.. Ornstein has written nothing as
fine as these. For we are still very
fond Of his Impressions of the
Thames his Moods. his A la Chin
oise.' etc
But this set of pieces is as grip
ping as anything that has come to
US from his pen and, though we do
not know how the entire set would
impress US in recital. we are very
anxious to hear Mr.. Ornstein play
them.
Conceived Without Titles.
zone thing is certain and that is
that they will not be dull. They are
exciting in content and in design. Al
ter a rather careful study we would
state that Mr.. Ornstein conceived them
without definite titles; they are so
published. But realizing that the
dear public likes programs to its
music, the composer has given per-
mission to that estimable person.
Frederick H. Martens, his biographer
to date, TO prepare a pamphlet Of
descriptive notes. which pamphlet is
included in each copy OF the Poems
OF 1917 This guide of Mr.. Martens
elucidates the pieces in a sane and
not-maudlin manner and ought to
be helpful to those who like their
music labeled. The titles Mr.. Mar
tens gives the pieces (and he assures
US that Mr.. Ornstein has approvedD
