Musical Aatei
The war, which has placed many things in new perspec
tive, has begun to have Its effects on our musical programs.
Try as most people will, animosities stirred up even by distant
events are causing actions of hasty, unthinking sort.
It was natural that music by composers of the invaded na
tions ahould play a larger part in our concerts than formerly,
since sympathy for the Czechs, French, Belgians, Dutch, Scandi
navians, Greeks and Finns was strong. The present allied line
up has made British music find an especially warm welcome in
America, and the same thing is likely to happen in the case of
the Russian composers, especially of the past.
But wbat of the classic masters? We still have the back
bone of most programs made up of the three B's and worth
ily so while Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, and Wolf are the
mainstay of the Licder recital. The tendency is beginning to
be apparent in some communities to prefer to hear these art
songs in English translation.
But Wagner promis.es again, as In the World war, to be a
major bone of contention. This is particularly so because the
grandiose music dramas of Wagner, the foe of Beckmesser
ism in art and government, have been perverted to serve the
interests of propagandists. Needless to say, such distortions do
not carry out the purpose of their creator.
Wagner's dramas have an international validity: They are
part of the universal treasure-house of legendary story and
song, and their characters are typical of all places and races.
It would be a genuine tragedy for the western world if misinter
pretations by absurd mountebanks should obscure the signifi
cance of such preachments as the curse that attended the rule
of hate, lust and avarice in the lay of Nibclungs.
Wagner, too, may be sung in translation as suggested by
the creator himself. It has been, very successfully, in produc
tions in England1 and elsewhere. Even the Metropolitan used
some translations of the late Henry Krehbiel when it restored
these works after the last war, and other versions exist.
It Is not too hopeful a sign that the study of Wagnerian
drama lias been discontinued in some schools for the coming
season. Academic authorities should take the lead in main
taining a true perspective on such matters.
Although the general public has been increasingly eager to
hear Wagner operas, os on art form the German music drama
is now historic. It belongs to the nineteenth century, just as
do Verdi, Donizetti et al ond it should be studied as a period
pieco. Its omission from ony rational history of music is as grave
an oversight os leaving Rembrandt out of a course In fine arts.
Decidedly, Wagner belongs to all of us, not to any cult.
Almost Imperceptibly, conditions are shaping to tie closer
together the various countries of North and South America. The
tours of United States artists ond ensembles orchestras, ballet
companies and the like have helped in creating new perspec
tives. The Increase of touring between the continents has made
these northern cousins, at one time unfavorably known as
"money-grabbers," "artistic barbarians," or what-have you,
seem likable, human, kindly and spirited, in the eyes of their
Latin relatives.
Indicative of the greater amity developing between the
United States and its Latin American neighbors la the recent
tour by Grace Moore, soprano.
The academic and cultural worlds of the two continents
have a great deal to offer one another, too. It has been found
that reciprocal student scholarships and professorial fellowships
are proving good Intermediaries for greater understanding. The
ichool men return to their own lands and carry with them in
fluences upon the youth that may bear important fruit in the
years to come.
We are at present undergoing a wave of recitation to music,
since America is in the throes of a great patriotic awakening.
Texts proclaiming our independence and determination to fight
for freedom are being turned out rapidly, whether sung by so
loists, intoned by choruses, or spoken by actors trained in decla
mation, from A Ballad for Americans to more recent efforts
by a legion of composers.
But the actual newness of this tendency Is debatable. In
many ways we are reverting to the feelings and thoughts that
marked America's pioneer days. We are even reviving some
of tho stirring music of Colonial America, arid finding it amaz
ingly fresh and strong after nearly two centuries.
The early patriots of America were great builders; they
used Music as a vital force in expressing the sentiments of the
hour which seem in retrospect to be those engraved for
Eternity.
And while they were seeking, or perhaps unknowingly pos
sessed, originality in their musical endeavors, they were also
shaping a future for their descendants that it is our privilege
to bulwark and secure.
