Music makes Life worth while
The history Of music is the history Of
the world. 1t is the history of men, Of
families, of communities. Of nations and
of all peoples.
Every country and every race has its
music 1t is the common language of the
race. 1t is the bond OF nationhOod.
Wheu its music is forgotten, the race
disintegrates and the nation dessolves.
When music dies out of the home the
family scatters.>
When music is hushad in the communi-
ty, whether that community be a busy viii
lage, or thriving town or a hustling city
the hum and Whirr and hustle Of com
mon activity lose their inspiration, their
forces wander and their energies wane
Shakespeare said:
The man that hath no music in him
self Nor is not moved with concord Of

hold not only of the land that gave it
birth, but seemingly of the entire musi,

This form of music, needless to say.
does not commend itself through its mel.
0dy nor harmony. but by its complex
rhythms- "a vital factor nevertheless in
musical composition and interpretation
appealing mainly to one of two physical
elements inherent in all normal human
beings, pitch and pulse. but essentially

To claim for the United States that Jazz
is her only and highest from of national
expression in music is to do an injustice
not only to her as a musical nation, but
also to the many excellent American
composers whose work in all forms of
musical compositions, ranging from sym
phony, opera and OratOriO to the simple
songs and sQirituals, would do honor to
any musical nation of the present day.
Not that America can in any way lay
claim to a musical equality with Europe;
far from that; but that there are a few
American composers whose works place
them on terms of artistic equality with
some of the best European works, there
by gaining for America a foothold at least
among the advanced musical nations of
the world.
How many of US are in any way ac-

caIibre of American composers as Hor-
alto Parker, Chadwick, Deems Taylor,
Henry Hadley, Cadman, Nevin, A. Foote
Carpenter, Critics, Powell, Kelley, Gil

well? If the qualities and the compost
ti0ns of these men were generally known
no n would claim for jazz Americas

There are many Americans / know

above the so-calIed popular" music of

vast army of music lovers and art lover,
on the other hand. large enough to con-
centrate the worlds greatest artists, crea-
