CARTOONISJMN TROUBLE MISS ADA SHIELDS STARTS Sl IT AOA1NST K1SI1ER CHRISTMAS CAROLS ARE GROWING POPULAR HERE JOHN SEIFERT TELLS OP CUSTOMS IN EUROPE Head of Voice Department of Uni versity Says Many Americans Know Obi Songs 'One of the most unusual experiences I ever experienced was when I was In' Germany some years ago," said John Seifert, head of the voice do. partment in the University of Ore gon school of music. "It was Just few days before Christmas, and blizzard was blowlner mil. hi. " he continued when suddenly, right up on the front porch of the house I was living in, I heard a bugle playing 'Holy Night, Silent Night.' nearing mat oiu. laminar mel ody, 3500 miles from home, made an Impression on me never to be forgotten. The Instrumentalist was the mall carrier, as I after wards learned. Thus It was that I learned about the beautiful cus tom in Germany of mail carriers playing carols on trumpets In the days before Christmas, as they go about delivering the mall." L'orols Popular In Europe "Carols are more popular In Europe than here," says Mr. Sei fert, "especially In England, Wales and Germany It is very common for groups of singers to ro about the streets at night during the Christmas holiday season, singing such old favorite carols as "Blest be the Tie that Binds,' and 'God rest ye Merry Gentlemen.'" mere has been a Dronounced awakening of Interest in carols over the country. At last Christ mas time, groups were organized here in Eugene to go about the streets singing carols." Air. Seifert then told of an ex perience he had in Philadelphia some years ago. An effort was made to find out whether theatre audiences were familiar with the old carols. Mr. Slefert had charge of this work ln some ot the largest theatres in the city, and the result of the Investigation showed a sur prising number who knew, the old carols. Many New Songs Written ' "There are many good carols that have recently been composed. borne ot tne most prominent com posers are Dudley Buck, Henry Hadley, ond C. Whitney Cooms. But the old carols are being sung too. In fact, they probably are sung more. They have endured for a long time, while. those writ ten now are generally sung for a season or two and then forgotten; though some are probably great enough to be of permanent value. "The carol, is primarily a folk song. All the old carols sprang from the heart. But generally the original tunes have been perfected, and given a definite form, and set down by some composer. That is to say, the carols are often, folk I rufios-nwdlt'iedr-by-ftrli. .Cftjola -oome- into being among white people much as the spirituals did among negroes. lU'llcion and ShurlnE Increase "The increase of interest in carols Is due partly at least to the increased interest in religious mat ters today. On the other hand, I think the singing of carols has helped to awaken Interest in re ligion, too, many people get more spiritual Inspiration from music than from sermons.
