ers, give to music an equal place
with English.
AMERICA MUSICAL
with increasing insiStenCe we
are asked, What will radio and
televiSiOn do to education and to
our recital and concert audi
ences? Frankly, no one knows.
However, we do know that Amer
lea is definitely more musical
than ever before, which indi'
Gates that her cultural growth
will continue. The ever-increaS-
ing flood of SO-called American
popular music has not vitally
changed the real music concept
of the native cOncert-gOer.
"Why the present trend in
American music, and whittier is
it leading? Civic and art life
seem to be paralleIing each
other. Is the parallel such
strange one? Is not the same
psychology responsible for the
reflections both in art and
civics? why the present trend?
We are living in an age Of re-
volt.
EXPRESSION FOREMOST
"The philosophy Of the age Is
one Of ultra Self-expreSSiOn, in
fact, Of letting oneself go. 1t is Of
small importance what one says
or thinks or does; utter honesty
in giving expression to ones
inner self is the only matter Of
grave import. This philosophy
is quite as evident in cOntem-
pOrary politics, art, literature
and music as it is in morals.
The end? The answer is not
quite SO simple: surely 1t is on
the knees of the gods.
"The sentiment of a certain
vernacular is aprOpOS both in
music and civic life: we know
not where we are going, but we
are on our way. MuSically, we
are on our way, treading new
trails in creative writing and
professional performance, build
ing a music public and evolving
an educational procedure. Many
Of us, good, progressive folk,
fostering the forward steps and
combating any suggestion Of
FetrOgressiOn. hope the new
paths are leading out into the
sunlight Of a happier age, sane
in its thought. exquisite in its

up to full stature or remain as
children for eternity? Will the
saved recognize one another2
In anticipation Of a large at
tendance, the same lecture will
be given twice on Sunday night,
the first one at 6:45 and the
second at $50.
Sunday mornings John Ford
broadcasts over radio station
VOL and the intercity network
at 1918 a. m.
During the three months series
Of lectures this spring, he had
a total attendance Of approx
mately 10000. Every Sunday
night 1t was impossible to &C
commodate the audience at one
time, so the same lecture was
given twice. More than 800
adults and young people were
baptized and received into church
fellowship in a number Of
churches in washington as a re-
suit Of his meetings.
A musical program will pre-
cede the lectures. George Wargo,

while the Euphonic Male Quartet
will render several numbers.

be in charge of singing and will

Theme from "Coronotiol
An interesting series of lee
lures on American music to be
given by DR.. E. N. c. Barnes,
director Of music Of the Wash
ington public schools, will start
October 9 at p. m. at the
Women's City Club ballroom and
continue each Friday until De-
cember 18.
The lectures will be illustrated
with excerpts Of period numbers
played on a phonograph. A half
hour recorded concert will pre-
cede each lecture. Local soloists
and ensembles will also appear
on the series.
DR.. Barnes has written a short
treatise entitled American Music
from Plymouth Rock to Tin Pan
Alley" which, is now available
in print. The material, substance
of a one-hour address, is con.
densed so as to be "comprehen-
sive, thought-provoking and &C.
curate."
The title may seem a bit mis-
leading as to the latter termed
destination, Tin Pan Alley"
The mire of Tin Pan Alley is
most certainly not the end so
far Of American music as set
forth by DR.. Barnes.
Many Facts Revealed
Among many Of the interesting
facts brought out in this treatise
is information that the first re-
corded public concert in this coun-
try was given in Boston in 1881;
first performances Of ballad-opera
were reported in New York in
1882; the first opera performance
with orchestra accompaniment
happened, strange to say, at Upper
Marlboro, Md, in 1852 when the
"Beggar'S Opera" was given.
A while galaxy of American
composers with their representa-
tive works is unfolded in the all
too-few pages of the booklet. DR..
Barnes holds out a glowing out
look on the future Of American
music.
He says:
"The symphony, so long de-
pendent on the wealthy patron,
is coming into It's own through
the growing interest Of the
masses. Music in education
adds continually to its cOnquestS.
