Bax found Romany, looking stun

in far corner watching the
crowd. She was in the gray-green

ensemble she had added Aunt Cls-

the man beside her:

inwardly. Lane, seeing his discom'

what they accomplish. 1t is fine
thing that the schools which are
farsighted in developing their music
courses be given material public
award to assist them in their aims.
Illuminating Books.
Two books have recently been is
sued that should make us proud Of
our musical heritage. In a we'll
gotten-up brochure, Edwin N. G.
Barnes, head of the department of
music, public schools of the District
of Columbia, has written short
biographies of Stephen Foster, Ed
ward MacDowell and Victor Her
bert. The title of the little book is
Near Immortals?" with the ques-
tion mark, yet. after reading it, the
very reaction that must follow from
these well-told and moving stories
would warrant changing the modest
inscription to the simple word I'm
mortals."
The second book is called "a
Treasury of American Song" COM
piled by Olin Downes, the eminent
writer on music of New York, and
Ellie Siegmeister, who has arranged
most of the music. This is collection
of possibly every song that has been
popular in America since the found
ing of the Republic and which our
immediate and more remote ances-
tors have loved and performed.
Both of these works are exceed
ingly timely. While DR.. Barnes, long
known as a champion of American
music, has chosen but three COM
poSers, he has selected those whose
influence has been powerful IN
awakening a love for music in this
country. The lives of these great
men are told simply and knowingly
by DR.. Barnes, yet the picture OF
each man and his character Is very
clear. Reading this portrayal of COM
posers who wrote music because the
urge was so great in them cannot
help but strengthen our faith in the
real musical feeling of this country
From All Sources.
Never before has attention been
called to the old songs in a manner
to emphasize their beauty as in the
collection in the compiling of which
Mr.. Downes and Mr.. Siegmeister
collaborated. The tune and several
verses of each song are there pub
lished, the number amounting to
nearly 150 They are of all kinds
and from all sources, representing
the finest collection to be placed at
the service of every one.
On the cover is this statement:
Every sort of American, rich and
poor, worker and landowner and
slave, miner and cowboy and farmer,
young and old, has always sung,
Each new frontier has had its own
music. Out of the body of native
music of a democracy this book has
evolved" Here is gift of mex
haustible value made to the citizens
of this country. Here is the material
that our forefathers have left US as
a foundation on which to erect a
great national music. May it inspire
our composers to greater efforts and
may it keep warm in the hearts OF
the new generations the memory of
those valiant cnes who sang while
they built Nation.
