disregarded, or he keeps them singing
a half developed arioso from which he
is ultimately unable to rise far enough
to differentiate his emotional situa-
ton from his conversational episodes.
Recitativc Is the backbone of opera
and there is only one way in which II
can be mastered and that is by ex-
haustive study When Chuck, after
beginning his career with empty old
fashioned operas and achieving dis
tinguished failure in London, started
back to Vienna he visited Paris.
There he heard some of the operas of
Rameau and the scales fell from his
eyes. He returned to the Austrian
capital and plunged into a philosophy
cal study of languages, not merely to
understand them when he heard them,
but to get at that inner essence which
we call their genius. IT was his aim to
find the exact type of melodic utter
ance suitable to Italian and that suit
| able to French.
II is by such study only that a man
can in the end learn how to create that
, perfect union OF text and music which
Wagner called WORD tone speech"
Two terms are enough-tone speech
1t means the organic fusion of speed,
and music. And this IS the precise
thing that is wanting in almost all our
native operas. The music and the
speech are Joined together by sheer
force. They are neither related nor
| married Frequently they are az WAY
one with the other. divorced at the IN
slant OF their forced union, and nc
alimony to be had except in the shape
OF patriotic" applause.
Now the best way to learn how 10
create tone speech Is to study the
methods of the masters who have done
It. One should not content himself
with examination OF the moderns alone
They inherited certain traditional
ways from their forerunners and the
ambitious composer OF to-day should
go back TO the fountain heads.

but never reaching the deflniteness of
a completed song form. Yet in the
hands OF singers Of the first rank their
pages are as eloquent to-day as they
were 900 years ago. Let any young
student OF operate technic turn to the
scores OF Peri's and Caccini's "Euri-
dice" and analyze the treatment of the
plant of Orfeo. mon piango non
sospiro." Let him look at the similar
scene in the "Orfeo" of Claudio Monte
verde. Let him examine the scores OF
such works as the san .Alessio" OF
Stefano Landi, the "Orfco" of Luigi
Rossi. the various creations ar Cavalli
and Alessandro Scarlatu After this
he may find himself ready TO under
stand the methods OF Handel and TO
advance from the works of that SUI
preme master OF the formal recitativc
and aria TO the colossal dramatic
'scena" OF Weber and Beethoven and
30 to the act long melody of the mod
erns.
But when all OF this is done let the
young composer remember that il he
sits down to initiate any of these mas
tiers he will fail. Why? Because they
were composing Italian or German
texts, not English,
To compose an English text success
