MUSIC BIG FACTOR

philosophers and thinkers in their
many years in reference to real music

people have yet to fully realize the

Bione, the noted Italian writer on
music. in an article on Music. Ad-

"The purpose OF the military music
rhythmically or rnon-rhythmically." be
says, "is to terrify the enemy and

FOLKLORE SONGS

The Federal campaign to save'from
extinction the songs cur fathers sang
will preserve to posterity the folk
lore OF the United States of America.
The collection, Of Kentucky folk
songs, as given in recital by Loraine
Wyman and Howard Brockway, are
the most memorable native songs
Washington has heard in this "rever-
sion to type" that has awakened in
music.
In the belief that American yer,
sions Of many Of the old English and
i.Scottish ballads are in danger of be-
coming lost, the Federal Bureau Of
Eduestion is taking steps to revive
them by . nationwide search The
idea Is to obtain the cooperation Of
music teachers and others in compil-
inga a collection of ballads for eaeh
state and to have State FOLKLORE so-
cieties aid In the work.
Among the ballads for which sur
|yivals are sought are: "Robin Hood,
'"The Beggsr-Laddie,p "Bonny Barbara
Allen" "The Crafty Farmer" Dur
ham FIELD" The Early Mares Daugh.
ter" Fair Annie" Johnnie Arm

OF others in the list the names OF

and "whsn the Boys Come Home" re-
spectively. The latter is from the
poem by John Hay, our brilliant
statesman.
Two wars were linked in q noble
fashion in one song" writes the Lit
erary Digest. John Hays fine poem
When the Boys Come Heme," written
in civil war days, was set TO fine tnu-
sic by Obey Speaks in 1917, and be-
came the noblest musical expression
that the 4. q. r. ever found" .
OF hig musical creations out Of the
great war there is little evidence, a
yet. at Ia our soldiers and sailors
who realize what war is and all that
it means says one writer. when
they come home again it will be i'm
possible for them to put their experi-
snces away as though they had never
been, and. therefore, 1t will be reason
able to expect that the musicians and
poets among them then produce some
works Of art. the inception Of which is
due to the war. ,-... -. --
In other words, the musical harvest
of the great war will not be due for
some months after the return Of peace.
And IL the logic OF the first para,
graph holds good, it is from Belgium.

pect the greatest works"
And Russia?" one might ask. Mr..
whittlesey at the Library says there
hare been more inquiries for Russian
music than for any other separate
in recent months.

THE War in Music" as shown in

the Library of Congress, Washington
p. G., presents an interesting survey
Of the thoughts Of the belligerent
nations during this period OF
world turmoil; for music mirrors the
emotions of men more than missives,
and "over There" by George NJ
Cohan, can convince anyone of the
spirit with which Americas boys en-
tered the great war.
But II Is Of music Of a less popular
vein that the musician will inquire.
What has the war done to stimulate
the creative genius of the serious
musician? The use of the songs that
haye helped imnleasurably to Tighten
the spirit of our boys is beyond dis
pute; it lightened the burden of the
stay-at-homes as we'll. The list OF
serious musicians, however, who have
contributed to this war music litsrs-
ture, is long.
practically no music has come
into the library during the past year
