lutionary wording OF vocal truth
in what he writes on hearing your
voice from without" In this he
calls attention to the interference
that a singer finds, in listening to
his own voice, by very reason Of
the nearness OF the vocal vibration
to his own ears.
He must learn to project his
voice, and then endeavor to hear
1t out in the open, as 1t were, to
enable him to completely criticise
it. as to pitch, information, quality,
meaning.

II Have Rendezvous With Death"
which Major Charles J. Ferris has
read to the music, with Mr.. Henne-
man at the piano, the sincere
musician and the sincere poet are
united In a harmonious bond. Such
unity makes for a writer of songs.

man was accompanied to the famous

voice.
SO his theories on singing
which are intimately linked with
acoustics-are highly interesting,
in some ways quite iconoclastic.
Mind Over Matter in Voice
For instance, in writing on the
voice Mr.. Henneman makes sing
ing even more a psychological pro.
cess than a physical one. He says:
Only what the mind conceives
can the organs reproduce; only
what occurs within the brain passes
over the nerves and finds express
sion through the action OF the
muscles"
We speak often OF the great
artist as being he who has so
mastered his technique that he can
throw it away and become the pro-
found interpreter of song.
Mr.. Henneman gives far deeper
meaning to that mastery, basing
his theory upon clearly defined
processes.
