NOME, ALASKA, OCTOBER 25, 191C
Everybody can write nowadays.
Large numbers can play or sing, or
boiu; practically everybody has heard
good music and read good writing;
ana yet now many can write well?
How many are really musical? How
many know a good song from a poor
one when they hear it?
We have educated our young people
In music for generations past, striving
always to teacn them the best music,
to Instill a tove for those wonderful
cadences of the masters which have
appealed, with such wonderous appeal
to the hearts of mankind in genera
tions past; and all for what?
They have gone mad over ragtime;
one steps and fox trots. In which the
music consists almost wholly of the
persistent iteration of three or four or
live notes!
While we confess that ragtime is of
tlmes a merry tingle that appeals even
to ourselves; that it contains some
thing to set the feet to tapping;
creates a sort of physical spasm, as
it were, but, it is not real music; such
music as there is in the waits, polka
or schottlsche, for instance. The
dance tunes over which the young of
the present generation are now mad
are made on exactly the same princ
iple as those that are played on kettle
drums and tom-toms In the heart of
the African Jungle or on the palm
fronded Isles of the Pacific. Indeed, it
is openly admitted that the general
idea of the new dance tunes, and also
the new dances have been borrowed
from the savage.
Generations of carefully taught
dance music has given us nothing
better than this—the syncopation—the
monotonous iteration of African tom
toms; the music, and also the dance
forms, of the savage! And the public
of a dancing age have gone craxy
over It! It is not a bit of use in the
present day to go to a public place to
listen to a band or orchestra in the
hope of hearing real music, for the
chances are barely more than one In
ten that one will hear any. But, one
certainly will hear the latest, and
probably the poorest Imitation ol
music,, real music, that civilised man
has yet concleved.
As we remarked before, this coun
terfeit music is attractive. Great
masses of people do not go, even
temporarily, foolish over anything
that Is not attractive. There Is some
thing about its very crudities which
starts the feet to moving almost
against one's will and creates an al
most irresistible desire to bob around,
even at the risk of looking foolish
The new music Is attractive, right
enough. In Africa it has been known
to set men permanently crasy, not
merely temporarily so.
Yet it is really the music of the
savage. We have softened it a little
perhaps but it Is, never the less the
music of the Jungle. And that is where
generation of music lessons have
landed us—wo have adopted the music
of the Zulu and the Maori.
Not a few of the present day dados
tunes even suggest that some of our
own Eskimo music, played so tune
fully for the tourist at Intervals on
the sandsplt, has been Incorporated.
The masterpieces of the world's music
wers haver held In greater contempt
than in the present day. The present
generations of young people have for*
gotten, or are trying to forget, the
very names of the masters whose
strains have Swept the heartstrings
of humanity in the past. Bag time is
the programme, not only for dances,
hut also for band concerts, dinner
concerts, theatre orchestras—for any
and errety seeatsion It la all right, ot
course, bnt la It what we hays In*
tended? Is it what the Aethers and
mothers or the day have'JvliU'tbdfr
money fort The young -gwgte Ap
pear to think so and it tMyMgMkajNPT
and no ham comes to (htm'llirotifth
their freakish taste, we attppMs It ts
all right. But It really seems a pity.
There Is so much music that Is-sweet,
grand, beauttruf; music that seems to
enfold our beings and lift us to dis
p>
tant and ennobling heights; to awaken
within us a peace ethereal, that it Is
really hard to understand why we
are willing to exchange It for the tln
tln tinkle, the almost barbarous crudi
ties, of the present day.
