Music
NotWe-Born Composers and Artists
Need Helping Hand From the Public

this soil, and it is the duty of per-
forming musicians and orchestra
directors to see that it has q
chance to prove itself. William
Schuman's strong address at the
convocation ceremonies at the
Juilliard School last year must be
remembered. He said: "Music
has a stake in the theological
struggle that is in progress in the
world today. The dictators have
always understood this and have
cunningly harnessed the talents
of composers and performers to
suit their own objectives. For
they realize that music, like other
arts. is useful tool in the prop
agation of their ideologies.
Temptation rests for many in
what DR.. Howard Hanson, speak,
ing at the same time in the East
man School of Music, calls laud-
ing "the artists position in So
ciety and the Soviet's support of
the artists activity" Here is
something artists and composers
cannot have at home. But in
other countries, whose political
color does not concern them, they
have chance to pursue their vo-
cation with not only the interest
OF the public but of the govern
ment as we'll. Bitterness at the
indifference Of their own people
can make the "wide-open DOORS
OF the Soviet Union very enticing.
Cultural Progress at Stake.
But aside from the political
dangers, there is a moral side to
the question. 1t is the responsible
lty to encourage and back those
providing the cultural progress of
our Nation. The cultural progress
is not in the hands of the refugee
musicians no matter how great
their gifts. 1t is in the hands of
the native-born. Years will pass
before the Europeans who sought
haven here can aSSimilate the
spirit of Americanism sufficiently
to produce musical works recreat-
ing that spirit. But it is tied up
with the entire life of an Ameri-
can artist and filled with men,
ories and inside knowledge. He
may still be producing music in
the European pattern but that will
pass, provided he knows that his
own American public is behind
him.
At the beginning of a new year,
lit would be we'll for all interested
in music to give more thought to
this question. There should be
willingness all around to put
American artist first. There should
be means devised to help
him. Let him come with honor to
our concert platform or his name
be inscribed frequently on pro-
grams listing his works. Let him
feel the interest and the patron
age. BY so doing. a stronger
barricade will be built up against
the insidious invitations that
might tempt him. And in so doing,
the public will gain strength, will
be upheld by the knowledge that
cultural things are of lasting
value. and will be grateful for the
opportunities to harbor and foster
it as part of their American herit-
age.
Evening star., 1952-01-06
BY Alice Eversmon

The most constructive New
Years resolution musicians ano
the musical public could make
would be the determination on
an all-out backing of American
talent. 1t is becoming more ano
more obvious that this country
will have to take a definite stand
on the subject, if it is to assume
the world leadership in music as
in other things. The need to
take over this leadership has been
forced upon us by events not of
our making. We have opened our
doors to foreign refugees, given
them an asylum and the means
OF earning a living, and any new
work from composers pens or a
new artist among those homeless
ones has been welcomed with
Nation wide publicity.
In music. as in other matters,
the United States has followed it's
generous impulses and has gained
thereby. But all the time, native
artists and composers are begging
for recognition. During the war
there was an upSurge of interest
in American talent but it was not
long-lived. Artists have resumed
their former practice of going to
Europe for experience and ulti-
mate acceptance as due their
talent. And, as in former times,
they return home with Europe's
stamp of approval and imme-
diately become desirous ins the
eyes of the American public.
The National Music Council,
which annually makes a survey
of the programs of major orcheS-
tras. is much disturbed by the
decline in the number of per-
formances of works by Ameri-
ican-born composers. Last year
saw the smallest number since
1912. Very gratifying to Wash
ington is the fact that the Ma
tional Symphony leads all other
orchestras in programming COM
positions by Americans, listing 16
by native-born and nine by
naturalized composers. Cincin-
natl, Denver and Indianapolis fol-
low with 10 each for natives.
Since 1856, when the peak was
reached, there has been a steady
decrease in this vital help for
American talent.
Soviet Union Welcomes Talent.
1t is but natural that artists
and composers unappreciated in
their own country will seek to
find help elsewhere. How serious
the consequences can be will be
found in a statement recently by
Dmitri Shostakovich in Russian
newspaper that "the doors Of the
Soviet Union are wide open to the
leaders of the art world from
abroad" Musicians are not given
to weighing political significance
against their own intense desire
for public acclaim or merely for
the opportunity to practice their
art. This was seen in tragic events
during the war when celebrated
artists had no hesitancy in per-
forming for the enemies of CIV
ilization.
1t behooves the American pub
lie to cherish the talent born OF
Evening star., 1952-01-06

However, some members who voted in the affrma-
tive have admitted that fact.
This citizen board supposedly represents the
citizens and their votes on this important ques-
ton should by all means be disclosed. While the
law provides that "all meetings whatsoever of
the board shall be open to the public except COM
mittee meetings dealing with the appointment of
teachers" there is however, no restriction on
making public how the members voted on any
question decided in such meetings.
To some extent citizens are inclined to feel
that if some board members lack the courage to
come out in the open to show how they voted
they lack the required intestinal fortitude for
such office.
