Inc listening 10 music as d CulLuI dl
necessity has been responsible for the
attitude of warinesS which many peo-
pie have adopted toward the deeper
musical programs. Not finding a
ready response within themselves to
the more involved harmonies of the
great masters, it has grown to be the
custom with many to feel that such
music belongs only to the seekers after
intellectual progress. In this lies the
great mistake of a large portion of
the type of people best fitted financial
ly to support music. Music always has
been and always will be an emotional
art, which is best understood and best
cultivated through emotional percep-
ton rather than through the intel
lectual.
Percy Bysshe Shelley in his "a De-
fence Of Poetry" writes words that
can be applied to music with equal
truth when he says: THE cultivation
of poetry is never more to be desired
than at periods when, from an excess
of the selfish and calculating prin-
ciples, the accumulation of the ma
terials of external life exceed the
quantity of the power of assimulating
them to the internal laws of human
nature. The body has become too
unwieldy for that which animates il"
The power of poetry which he implies
as a means of attaining the relaxa-
ton that is the inherent need OF bal
ance in the human makeup is to be
found much more completely in music.
The complexities of modern life have
placed most of us on treadmill where
our eXertionS must continue, yet the
process brings little advancement.
The attitude of mind engendered by
this struggle without release has at
last been recognized as a perniciouS
one with dangerous results to be eX-
pected.
Just as an individual cannot con-
slider his education as completely
rounded out without knowledge OF
art, so also must the community
standard contain this same education
al need. Yet it is not the mental
broadening which an appreciation of
the masters brings that is to be the
most desired, but rather the soften
ing, refining influence which is one OF
the benefits music confers. Learning
is of little value if it does not lead
to betterment and in music this is
accomplished without any conscious
effort. The emotional side of COM
munity, as with an individual, must
be guided into correct channels, and
the first and surest method to accom-
plish this is to train all classes into
a communion with music and then
let the art work for itself.
Music is the vehicle of beauty. In
its play of sweet sound lies embedded
all the yearning after beauty which
has possessed the world, Other arts
place a concrete form of beauty be-
