' 1 Mrs. Reed Rowland, hostess !- of the week Musip Week Plans Make Rapid Headway "TlfUSIC WEEK" should hold an exalted place in the minds llx of all true Americans for our music is one of our weak est places so far as foreign criticism is concerned. No effort should be spared to bring into the souls of Americans under standing and appreciation not only for the old world music but for the music of our own production. Faith in the fact that Americans are soon to equal if not to excel the continental music in both production and ap preciation was increased for those who were able to see the 203 high school students who appeared in symphony concert April 18 in Spokane before. the Inland Empire Education association. These youngsters opened their program with the "Star Spangled Banner" and -the audience was sup posed to sing but when the bows of eighty violins struck the strings there was such a soul reaching throb that most people found their voices muffled in an emotional thrill that was almost painful. The appearance of this orches tra, the best from all the schools of the northwest, Salem had a representative as did Silverton. was the first of its kind. It is the start to teach music, and all it means to people, when they are young enough to become fully im pregnated with its beauty. In an other generation we should, as a nation, show deep effects of this training. "Music Week" is still another way to Impress the value of music. While it has most to do with adults It still must have wide reaching effects through coopera tive efforts. The opening program for Salem "Music Week" will be an appro priate one for it Is a MaeDowell benefit, and no American has done more more American music than MaeDowell. He is Internationally known and his compositions are American with a new and original note of their own. Miss Frances Virginia Melton Is in charge ot this benefit. It will be given, as has been announced before'in these columns, in Waller hall, Willamette university. Ev erything has been donated for this program and the proceeds .will go in totality to the Petersborough colony in New Hampshire, which was established as a result of the desires ot MaeDowell to create a .place where artists from any field Mrs. Willard Marshall, who entertained for Miss Eugenia Zieber might come and work for short periods of time and work unmo lested from the outside world. Miss Melton announces that tbe program will be divided into two divisions. The first part of the evening will be used by Miss Eliz abeth Levy who will present tbe following violin program: Group 1 (a) With Sweet Lavender MaeDowell Arrangement for violin by Leopold Awr (b) To a Humming Bird MaeDowell Arranged by Arthur Hartman (c) Wiegeulied op 24 No. 3 . . . .MacDowell-Hartman Group II (a( Long Ago MacDowell-Kramer (b) To a Wild Rose . . : . .
