DEQKADATIOX OF MUSIC.
Europe lias been given nn impres
sion of American taste for music
which is not at all complimentary to
the refinement and culture of the
nation. Dan Godfrey brought a
brass bnnd across the Atlantic and
played to large audiences. On his
TCturn to London with his pockets
stuffed with American gold he moral
ized in this fashion:
"We played lots of good music,
"but what Americans really want is
some catchy tune with a swing. "We
would give 'Georgia Cttmp Meeting,'
or a 'Rag Time Cake "Walk and they
would nearly tear down the place."
Dan Godfrey spoke the truth about
the audiences to which he catered,
but he failed to catch the true spirit
of the musical tastes of those who
really understand that art. To the
uncultured ear the cake walks, rag
time melodies and cheap waltz tunes
are a pleasure, occasionally because
tbey are simple melodies, easily
learned and whistled on every corner.
.More often the words of the song
have caught the fancy of the gallery.
These rag-time melodies arid songs
have begun to degrade and blunt the
sensibilities of the people, and the
theatrical profession lo a large de
gree is responsible for that degrada
tion. First the minstrel nien learned
wroto simple sonatas as well as diffi
cult oratorios.
The fault of American music, par
ticularly that admired by the un
cultured, lies in the education given
by the tiicatqr, the bands and in the
home cirole. It is claimed for the
United States that children arg now.
a.lays given ns good an education as
the children of Germany, France,
Poland, llussin, Italy and England,
yet the Old World children imbibe
from infancy love for all that is good
and pure in musical compositions.
In those nations there is veneration
for the masters among the humblest
of the population. The ragged boy
on the streets of Rome knows the
operas and masses of hi3 famous
musical countrymen; the German
child Icarus to understand and ap
preciate the beauties of Beethoven,
Liszt and a score of noted masters.
Au'l so it is with other peoples on
the continent. They hear little else
from childhood ,to the grave, are
never tainted vith the flood of trashy
diities which infest America today.
What would beneflt the United
States today is rv music censor, with
power to expurgate indecent allusions
from songs, to suppress ballads and
songs full of false notes and jarring
chords. Not only would such a
person elevate the morals of com
munities all over the .'and, but he
would advance his countrj in the
estimation of we'l-bred people all
over the world.
Dan Godfrey's audiences, how
ever, can not have been composed of
the educated musical people of
America. Among that class, which
does not necessarily include only the
wealthy and those favored of higher
secular education, there exists the
same refinement for the really good
things in music that one finds in
musical audiences of Germany,
France and England. This class is
a power for higher education, for
purer thoughts and deeds, for belter
manhood and womanhood. It aids
the young man and young woman
with musical aspirations, cheers the
circle of artists who aspire to make
America a power in realms of music
and song. If it is once properly
recognized by the now uncultured
ear the flashy song and degrading
ditty will soon pass into obscurity.
