Pens Article On
Postwar Music
BY DOROTHY MANOR For AMP

have often been asked what
kind of music think Postwar
America will want. Will the current
popularity of classical music con-
tinue? My opinion on that question
may be best summed up by para
phrasing Shakespear. Some nations
are born to be centers of music,
some achieve musical greatness, q
others have greatness thrust upon
them. AS a musical nation, America
falls in to the last category, but
it promises to retain it's position as
the worlds musical mecca for many
years to come.
think it is safe to judge Ameri-
can public opinion by the reaction
of servicemen, and American ser
vicemen are the most musically
discerning in the world. I have
sung in army camps and service
hospitals in every section of the
country, and one cannot help but
notice that the demand for con-
cert music among servicemen is
increasing all the time.
SOLDIERS REACTION
From the soldiers reaction, which
is really a reaction of great cross
section of American people, one
may conclude that we are constant
ly becoming a more musically con-
scious nation. A boy who grewxlp
on a ranch in Montana, the Boy
from a mining community in Penn
sylvania, a farm boy from Indiana,
and the school teacher from Cali
fornia all have a strong common
bond in their devotion to good mu-
sic.
With complete victory finally in
sight, we need this kind of music
now, more than ever. We need
something that will give us greater
hope. Of native music. the spiritual
is probably the type of music which
best possesses the quality of afford
ing a feeling of inner warmth.
Such songs as "In Dat Great Get
ting Up Morning. Nobody Knows
The Trouble I've Seen," "Steal
Away To Jesus" and sole Time
Religion are all favorites of the
boys in the service. These, too, are
songs which should be in every
home, particularly since they are
available in a Victoh album.
In addition to songs which give
them spiritual lift, have noticed
that the boys like familiar songs
those which remind them of home
and of their families-the songs
they used to sing in Church on
Sunday. Probably I have received
more requests for Schubert's "Ave
Maria" then for any other single
selection. They also like the songs
they can say silently along with
the singer like The Lords Prayer"
and the lovely, familiar, Twenty
Third Psalm
RECORD COLLECTING
The recent popularity of phono-
graph record collecting as q hobby,
700, mas mace The american people
more discerning in their musical
tastes. The boys in the service know
the best records of each artist, and
invariably they request a selection
which the first artist has recorded.
Probably my most famous record
ing of an operate aria in "Depuis
lie Jour" from Louise" and it's
also one of the most popular re-
quest selections when I sing for the
boys at an army camp or hospital
Musical America knows what it
wants. and what it wants is good
music, made available to large num-
bers of American people, We have
come of age, unsteady, during the
past decade.
