not a visionary one. have had Just
such actual results brought TO nv at
tention time and again. Recently =
professor of Syracuse University told
me that, although he had been in
tensely prejudiced against any med
ding with classic music several years
ago, his observations among his
students during the last few months
had convinced him that putting she
classics in dance form had really
reused the interest of his students in
good music and he'ped them 10 appre-
ciate intrinsic melody. The dance
rhythms made the music very easy
for them TO listen to: also they listened
closely because they were dancing.
Consequently they were also listening
closely TO the melodies of some of the
finest of the classics The outcome
with these college boys was that thev
developed an interest in the finer sort
of music as a result of these synco-
pated dance selections"
Mr.. Tupman expressed the belief
that converting classic selection into
dance form need not be a fiippant
process.
"Syncopat ton is mot musical
crime he said. 1T has been used in
classic music-Dvorak' New World
symphony for instance. An aria can
be put in dance form without commit
ting musical MAYHEM, and can be
handled so that it will also appeal to
those educated in music. 1 know of
a nunbGr of cultured men who appre.
ciate grand opera who state that they
enjoy hearing operatic selections or
chestrated in dance rhythms."
