AMERICAN COMPOSERS
CHARLES WAKEFIELD CADMAN.

A LEADING name among American
"A composers who have seriously
and successfully entered the field OF
adapting American Indian melodies is
that of Charles Wakefield Cadman.
pianist composer. who is also popular
as a concert artist touring the far
west owing to delicate health. Cad
man is unable to reside in the east
although he does occasionally make
short tours in the older part of the
country.
Mr.. Cadman is a distinctly Ameri-
can product. He was born in Johns
town. Pa, December "a. 1881. He is
the son of William and Caroline

tration with Luigi Won Kunits.
He then served as music critic for
some time with the Pittsburgh Dis
patch and was organist in some of
the smoky city's" churches and di-
rector of the Pittsburgh male chorus.
In 1904 Mr.. Cadman published some
organ compositions and ballads and
about that same time he became in
terested in tribal melodies. In 1909
he visited the Omaha reservation and
the melody of one of his most popular
songs. From the Land of the Sky
blue Water is based upon an Omaha
Indian motif. His first group Of four

above mentioned, 1.-The Moon Hangs

and their subtle Interpretation. Other

Among the best known Of other

is "The Pompadour Fan" charming
in its suggestion of court dignity and
pomp.
Mr. Cadman has also been success
full in the field of writing operas. His
most famous one is "Shanewis.
which was produced on. the stage of
the Metropolitan Opera House in
March, 1918, and again in March, 1919.
This opera won the distinction of be-
ing the first American opera to live
beyond one season at the Metropoli-

are THE Garden of Mystery" and
."The Red Rivals" His latest work is
