TUNE TRACER
EXPLAINS MUSIC
DIR. SIGMUND SPAETH DIS
COURSES ON MUSIC TO STATE
UNIVERSITY AUDIENCE

The wizariry or a tune detector
was demonstrated TO a State uni
versity audience a few days ago
when DR.. Sigmund Spaeah appeared
at the Student union theater on
the campus. His performance was
part of the summer outside enter
tainment program.
Music is the organization of sound
toward beauty" he said. He went on
to point out that music is composed
OF rhythm, melody, harmony, thine
color and finally, form. Recurrent
melody is found in the classical-or
rather permanent" music-aS well as
in the lighter, modern music. Melody.
he pointed out, is the memory factor
in music. Recognition is the first step
toward appreciation.
Il mean no criticism Of audiences
when say that they applaud when
they recognize a piece of music" DR..
Spaeth said. That's an indication they
are enjoying it. Having recognized the
music, they enjoy it. They are proud
Of the fact that they remember it."
DR.. Spaeth demonstrated how two
or three or more tones could be evolved
into tunes which have been used again
and again. He said that blue notes had
been used by classical composers, but
as grace notes.
FOLK music IN all countries is built
on variations of five tones, DR.. Spaeth
stated.
The song Say 1t Isn't So" is trace
able, he said, to Dancing in the Dark
or Just a Gigolo" first line); Rag
time Violin" Second lineS); Dancing
IN the Dark" or Just a Gigolo" third
line); Just Little Love, a Little

women as most Important In small
farm houses, most Montana farm
housewives voted q kitchen sink

provement. The choice Of improve
menfs was made On the basis OF a
two-rOom house without modern
facilities.
A first bedroom was rated as the
next most essential feature and rank
ing third in the survey was a built-in
kitchen cabinet. Other features In the
order of placing were closet for the
first bedroom, running cold water IN
the kitchen, root cellar, bath tub, and
screened work porch.
Features of secondary interest formed
another grouping in the survey and
in this classification the farm women
favored a second bedroom as the most
needed addition to the home. Next in
order came hot water, indoor toilet,
closet for second bedroom, doors on
upper and lower kitchen cabinets, wood
or coal storage space, bath room (room
only, and shelves and poles in closet.

doors on closets, door between kitchen
and living room, lavatory, and wiring
for electricity.
In the opinion of the farm women
polled in the survey, closets for clean
ing equipment, a third bedroom, front
entry or hall, and living porch were
held to be pure luxl1ries. Very little
interest was shown in such features
as a pantry, trunk storage space, closet
for sewing equipment, laundry trays,
shelves in pantry, fireplace in living
