What so proud ly we hailed

1t is thus that our audiences sing it
when they sing, and the reason is that
it is thus that it has been handed
down from preceding generations.
We may add that this is the way it
ought to be sung, because it is the
better way. Not only the better, but
the proper way if the laws of prosody
are entitled to respect
Why, then, has Mr. Damrosch per
sisted in an attempt to force an un-
popular and an incorrect reading upon
the pubic The answer is particu-
larly interesting from the fact that
Mr.. Damrosch has done so in defiance
of his own Judgment, but in com
pliance with q mandate which he re-
ceived from the majority Of q COM
mlttee-of which he was member,
appointed by the United States Conmis
sioncr Of Education which undertook
the vain task of securing uniformity
IN the performance Of the air. "stand-
ard Eng" 1T, year or more ago. The
committee consisted OF John Philip
Sousa, Walter Damrosch, O. G.. Son
neck, A. J. Gantyoort and VIII Ear
hart. Measure by measure, the words
and melody of the song were discussed
and voted on and by vote Of three
to two the righteous minority con-
sisting OF Messrs. Sousa and Dam
roschl the first version was decreed.
Loyalty to the committee has led Mr..
Damrosch TO adhere TO the reading.
Asked for the reason advanced by the
majority for their action, MIR Dam
rosch answered: Because of the false
accentuation in the second verse,
which would have resulted in the
words foes naughty hosts if our
version that Of Sousa and HIMSELF
had been accepted
Singular reasoning this. This line is
daciyllic in the. original "Anacreontic"
song and is dactyllic in every Amer
lean paraphrase from the beginning.
To make the words proudly we
hailed" foes naughty hosts" "(Be-)
tween their loved (home)," "ramparts
we watched" "ftfully blows" "pow'r
that hath (madc)" and so on drag
along in uniform step is to rob the
melody at this point Of it's strength
and assertiveness. Users of popular
slang would say that 1t takes the "pcp"
out Of it; and they would say the truth
The effect Of the three plodding
hcayy-footed notes, in place of &
sprightly energetic dactyl Cone long
and two shorts) is obvious enough in
Keys song. but carry the comparison
into the corresponding lines of the
first American song written for the

What 80 proud ly we hailed

The Symphony Society's orchestra
and that of the Paris Conservatoire
were the only bands that played this
version of the measure, the agreement
between the two organizations having
been brought about by the circum-
stance that Mr.. Damrosch gave NJ.
Messenger his setting Of the melody
for use on the American tour of the
French musicians. At all the theatres,
at the metropolitan Opera House, the
concerts Of the Philharmonic Society
and Boston and Russian orchestras
and at concert of the military band
from Governors Island the measure in
this period of the melody and again
on its repetition is uniformly played
with its first note a dotted quarter and
its second an eighth, thus:
New-York tribune., 1919-01-26
The Woes OF a1a Anthem

tiful have little weight. With, that
melody, which is a good, stiff tune,
patriotic song has held commerce almost
as long as we have had an American
hepuOuc. 1t is not likely that the mel
ody will ever be divorced from patri-
otto sentiment. But Keys poem is not
of the national anthem type. 1t is of
the nature of historical NARRATIVES; it
refers to a specific incident in the past
not IN itself overwhelmingly signif-
cant 1t is neither an invocation like
"God Save the King" nor a challenge
like Gallons, enfants de la Patrie."
And it is not, officially, the American
national hymn. No authority has pre-
scribed it except a Secretary of the
Navy, who set it apart for morning col
ors. One of the consequences of the fact
that it has no official standing is that
there is no officially authentic version
of either the words or the melody.
little more than ten years ago Mr.
O. G. Sonneck, chief of the music
division of the Library of Congress,
was instructed by the librarian to in
vestigate the history of "The Star
Spangled Banner" "Hail, Columbia"
"America" and "Yankee Doodle" and
after much painstaking research Mr..
Sonneck wrote a "report" of great
value and interest, which was printed
in 1909.
In 1914 Mr.. Sonneck wrote an
amended report on "The Star-Spangled
Banner" In this report he included
material which provides evidence on
nearly every question that can be
raised concerning the patriotic song. 1t
contributes to the controversy which,
so far has not received wide public
expression of late, but has certainly
existed in the public mind, as to the
rhythmical structure of two lines in
each stanza of the song Persons in
the audiences in the Metropolitan
Opera House and at every concert in
the city who have wished to sing
stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner"
were thrown into confusion at the con-
certs of the Symphony Society be-
cause Mr.. Damrosch insisted on de-
claiming the fifth measure of the mel
ody as three straight quarter notes.
thus:
