Dºng the first week in February, 1920, a demon- stration of great significance took place in the world’s largest city. Its chief importance was not that it affected a great metropolis or even a great nation. The demonstration itself, remarkable as it was in its com- prehensiveness, was not sufficiently striking to command widespread and lasting attention in an age when the mind is overfed with sensational happenings. The great significance of the demonstration lay in the fact that it proved a truth which affects the whole world. This truth is that the people as a whole—not some people or some classes, but the people of every class and of every variety of circumstances—love music. The occasion was New York’s first Music Week. The people were given an opportunity to celebrate music and to celebrate it in their own way, and they did. More than 1700 different organizations, a score of different groups including churches, industrial plants, colleges, conservatories, music schools, public Schools, private schools, music teachers, music clubs, women's clubs, moving picture houses, theaters, concert halls, hotels, public libraries, civic organizations, welfare organiza- tions, eleemosynary institutions, public institutions, took an effective part. - Each organization furnished the means of participat- ing to a great number of individuals. The public schools reached nearly 1,000,000 children; the churches between •º - 9 10 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK 300,000 and 400,000 adults. Even an approximate esti- mate of the grand total is guess-work. How many were reached through the “movies” or how much comfort and joy were brought to the unfortunates in the hospitals, jails, and asylums for the orphans, the aged, or the blind will never be determined. The magnitude of New York’s first Music Week was of course impressive, the pleasure it gave was exceed- ingly worthwhile, but the fact that so many people wanted music provided the overshadowing inspiration to those who have concern for the public welfare. The character and extent of the participation in this celebration make it certain that there will be hundreds, even thousands, of similar demonstrations, not only over our own country, but throughout the world. It is this fact which lends particular interest to the details of New York’s first Music Week, and which is the occasion for the publication of this book. Twenty-five hundred years ago Confucius said: “Wouldst thou know if a people be well governed, if its manners be good or bad; examine the music it produces.” Napoleon Bonaparte, reviewing his career and the rise and fall of nations 2,300 years later from his lonely exile at St. Helena, wrote: “Music of all the liberal arts has the greatest influence over the passions and is that to which legislators should give the greatest encourage- ment.” Leaders of thought and action among men have been saying much the same thing all through the ages, from Plato and the other great thinkers of the ancient world, through Luther and the pioneers of the Refor- mation, down to the master minds of the modern in- dustrial world. To-day there is a deepening realization of the value of music among most of our own great men. Theodore Roosevelt reflected this feeling when in a letter to some THE DRIVE FOR MUSIC 11 children in whom he was interested he wrote: ‘‘Let the love for literature, painting, sculpture, architecture, and above all music enter into your lives.” Charles M. Schwab characterizes the need of the indi- vidual for music in the expressive statement: “There is a ‘reach' to music which the other arts have not; it seems to “get’ to you in an exhausted mood and quiets and refreshes where a book or a picture is not so sure.” Samuel Gompers indicated the need of music in the life of the modern social group when at a recent conference in Washington he said that community organization, as it is now taking form in America, is the most democra- tizing influence at work to-day. Any significant com- munity organization without the aid of music is un- thinkable. Thus the development of civilization, with its in- creased complexities has not only verified the appraisal of music made by the sages of the past—it has given their judgment the added weight of prophecy. Whatever is a source of aid to the individual and of strength to the community is a matter of public concern. Many cities have recognized this fact, so far as it relates to music, by the establishment of municipal music com- missions and civic music associations. It remained for New York to initate a Music Week in the form of a city- wide musical demonstration extending into every phase of the city’s life. It had the two-fold object of giving as widespread enjoyment through music as possible and of centering public attention upon music, so that the interest in it and the appreciation of its benefits might become more general among all classes of the people. New York’s Music Week was a drive in which hundreds of organizations as well as thousands of in- dividuals made some definite contribution toward the accomplishment of the object in view. In respect both 12 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK of its public-spirited purpose and the character and ex- tent of the coöperation it enlisted, Music Week might be Said to have had much in common with Red Cross Week, Y.M.C.A. Week, Knights of Columbus Week, Y.M.H.A. Week, Armenian Relief Week, etc., etc., each of which had at one time or another held the center of the city’s stage, received public approval and support and pro- ceeded to fulfill its important mission to humanity. But Music Week differed from them all in that it was a drive without appear for money. It was a drive for education, a movement for broader enlightenment as to the place of music in present day life. Moreover it was not designed to help one nationality or sect or one class, however in- clusive the activities of that class might be. Nor was it a drive for any particular kind of music, although the tendency everywhere was toward the better class of of fering. Music Week was designed to help every one; above all to help every one to realize his own opportuni- ties to gain greater joy and to find a satisfactory means of self-expression. There was, however, an additional purpose, namely, that by concentrating the thought of all the people on music, it should act as a powerful stimulus toward the goal of making New York the musical center of the world and, through its example, America a musical nation; for, as has often been said, a country is musical not by reason of a few great musicians and mammoth concerts, but because of the love for music by the great mass of its people. -* — — —- To those leaders of civic and industrial life who had learned to appreciate music's value for themselves but had not yet realized how widespread was the capacity for its enjoyment among the people, the demonstration in New York must have been a revelation, and food for thought and action. THE DRIVE FOR MUSIC 13 Music Week has passed on, but not without having left its mark on the consciousness of the city. The ideas im- planted in the public mind during the first week of Febru- ary, 1920, strengthened as they will be by other Music Weeks in other cities and the general increase in the use of music in our American life, cannot fail to still further affect favorably the people’s attitude toward that art described by Addison as “almost all we have of heaven On earth.” oismſ.

MT ANY books on music have been written and many "4 more are likely to be written in the near future. The subject is so broad that it would be impossible to cover its various phases in a single chapter, so no at- tempt will be made to discuss it except in a very cursory way and in its relationship to the present, the im- mediate past and the future. The present and im- mediate future directly concern our own lives, while the recent past furnishes the practical, near-at-hand experi- ence upon which we feel modern judgment should be based. There are two distinct conceptions of music—one might be called old and the other new—music as an art and music as a universal pleasure. Music as an art, an element of culture and a source of keen enjoyment to those whose natures and education have given them access to the secret of its beauties, has long been appreciated, but its appeal has been to the few who either by training or the endowment of an especially musical temperament have gained an understanding of it above their fellows. r Music as a pleasure to be universally enjoyed; music as a restorative to tired nerves, and a provider of bodily rest, a stimulant to effort and a source of inspiration to lofty ideals; music as an active force and a factor in the destinies of a people, influencing their industrial and 15 16 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK political life and having a direct bearing on their pros- perity, are comparatively new thoughts. Yet all these thoughts are occupying a larger share of the world’s attention every day. The war wrought many changes and not the least among them was the great change which has taken place in the public's appraisal as to the value of music. This reversal of opinion was due to the service music ren- dered during the great conflict. To say that music was one of the determining factors in the winning of the war would be considered by some as an exaggerated statement, yet an analysis of the part music played in the war would convince the most skeptical. As some strong state- ments regarding the important part music is to take in solving our present day problems are to be made, it may be well to present a few facts from the great volume of evidence in support of the statement about the influence of music in the war. During the anxious days when the result hung in the balance we were told that munitions would win the war, food would win the war, ships would win the war, coal would win the war, aeroplanes would win the war, money would win the war. All these statements were true. All these things were essential to the success of the Allies even though some were more important than others. Music was another essential even if less conspicuously advertised. If music had been denied the Allies on the battlefront and at home and its inspiring aid had been given only to the Central Powers, it is probable that the war would have resulted in a German victory long be- fore the United States entered the conflict. This is a strong statement, but it is amply supported by the facts and authoritative opinion. When one realizes the terrific strain to which the men were subjected with the deafening roar of the artillery, MUSIC'S BROAD SCOPE 17 the constant danger of a charge by the enemy, the wit- messing of their companions being shot down, horribly mutilated and not knowing when their own turn might come; the exhausting fatigue and the prolonged con- tinuance of the nervous tension, he wonders whether, without music, the men could have withstood the ordeal. In spite of all the relief that could be given the men, shell shock was the most serious menace with which the military leaders had to contend. T)r. H. R. Humphries, the noted neurologist, made the statement that fifty per cent of those incapacitated in the war were shell shock cases. A man might be badly wounded in the arm or leg, or even in the head, and yet be sent back to the front after a few months in the hospital, so great was the need of man power. If, however, he succumbed to shell shock, he was incapacitated for active service for at least a year and perhaps permanently. It was the universal verdict of military authorities that music rendered material ser- vice in preventing shell shock by soothing the shattered Ile I'VeS. - Music was unquestionably the most attractive feature in the recreation centers which looked after the comfort and supplied the entertainment of the soldiers when off duty. But music was far more than a source of enter- tainment. It was a military factor of great strategic importance. Captain Dugmore of the British Royal Fusiliers told the writer that before a general charge, it was customary to bring the soldiers back from the line for a band concert. When we realize the multitudinous details which had to be planned and executed before any charge on a large scale, the fact that the Commander, on whose judgment and skill rested the success of every maneuver should take the time and trouble to bring music to the men on these crucial occasions, shows conclusively the im- 18 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK portance of music as a military measure. Incident after incident could be mentioned and many authorities quoted. General Pershing ordered more bands in the same mes- sage in which he asked for more food and munitions. The same story of the aid rendered by music in ac- complishing what had to be accomplished was told on this side of the water and it took a hundred different forms. The work of the community chorus leaders in the training camps, in keeping up the spirits of the embryo soldiers and inspiring them with patriotism and a will- ingness to sacrifice their own individual interests and comfort for the general welfare and the preservation of civilization, is universally recognized as a conspicuous factor in the transformation of raw recruits into a fight- ing army which won the admiration of Europe. Any one who saw the dejected and forlorn drafted men pass through the city on their way to the camp and these same men a few months afterward on their way to the front was struck with the wonderful metamorphosis which had taken place. Each man went to camp filled largely with his own thoughts. All came away with the same thoughts as his fellow comrades, the same determination to ac- complish a single purpose, no matter what the cost might be. Fear and uncertainty gave way to courage and con- fidence. A heterogeneous assortment of nationalities, of city bred and country bred, of cultured and uneducated, of business men and laborers, was changed into a united force which the boasted and long trained military machine of Germany could not withstand. There was something of magic in this transformation; yet if one talks to any of the commanding officers of these camps, he will hear much tribute to music as an important factor in welding the spirit of the men into its marvelous unity. The same story of increased efficiency, increased MUSIC’S BROAD SCOPE 19 sustaining power, is told in the munitions factories, in the shipbuilding yards and in all the industrial plants of those feverish days. Music increased the speed, re- lieved the nerve tension and refreshed the body. No Liberty Loan Campaign or Red Cross Trive was at- tempted without music as an ally to appeal to the people and stir that which was noblest in their characters. One has to picture to himself the task of a nation fighting a war and being wholly deprived of music to appreciate its true value. Only through its use can manpower be sustained at its maximum. Music has the same ability to help us to-day, and our needs for its help are as great as they were during the war, although they are different. Our chief trouble is that we do not know what music can do for us and there- fore we are not using its full service. One purpose of New York’s Music Week was to direct to music and its great services the attention of the public and also the attention of municipal, state and national authorities, philanthropists, politicians and the editors of the great newspapers who pride themselves in serving the people and being pioneers in great movements. No student of human nature longer doubts that music is a great force. Its pleasure-giving features are but one of its many phases. It is well to distinguish between an actual force and an active force. There may be far more latent power back of an apparently inactive force than a force whose activity is discernible. That music is an actual force has been abundantly proved. Its great influence on the world is indirect but none the less potent. A story is told of Johnny, four years old, on a shop- ping tour with his mother. Johnny was tired, rebel- liously tired, and unsuccessfully begged to rest. Finally he sat down on the curb with the ultimatum, “No more ) 20 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK go in Johnny's legs.” Just then a street band came along and Johnny jumped up and marched along with full vigor. The weariness had gone. A new spring of en- ergy had been tapped. So it is with adults. Music puts ‘‘go’’ in grown up legs as effectively as it did in Johnny's. Another story is told of a maid who was laboriously scrubbing the floor and humming a lullaby as she scrubbed. The work proceeded very slowly and her mistress noticed that the maid’s arm was moving in rhythm with the music. The next time the floor was scrubbed a lively record was put on the phonograph and the scrubbing was accomplished in half the time. A particularly interesting characteristic of music is shown further in the fact that the maid was less tired than when she had to push herself to get the work done. The same principle holds true when the tired housewife scrubs the floor or engages in any arduous work. It is also worthy of notice that the public schools teach speed on the typewriter through the aid of the phonograph by gradually increasing the tempo while the flying fingers unconsciously keep pace with the rhythm. The world is now waking up to a retarded realization of the relaxation music brings to the nerve-tired business man and the body-tired factory worker when there is opportunity for relaxation. Here as elsewhere rest and pleasure join hands in restoring the energy and refresh- ing the spirit. Hundreds of illustrations could be given and each one demonstrate a point. Music is an eco- nomic asset to the world and should be more widely used as such. It increases the earning power of the worker and at the same time makes his work easier. It aids the employer to the exact degree that it benefits the worker in his work. It makes life more enjoyable at the same time that it make man more productive. Music has also a social and political influence in the MUSIC’S BROAD SCOPE 21 broadest sense of the words and in this respect is des- tined to render an inestimable service in these trouble- some days with which we are confronted. Music, which is harmony itself, is essentially a harmonizer. It har- monizes men’s thoughts, allays restlessness and neu- tralizes discord. They say singing together makes men think together. Any one who will attend a community chorus where the leader has the ability to really “reach” the crowd, cannot but be impressed with the psychologi- cal effect. Rich and poor, the man with a grouch and the man who has met with real trouble, the discouraged and those upon whom fortune has smiled join their voices in singing the same songs. As they sing the patriotic songs the spirit of patriotism swells through the throng. As they sing the old, familiar songs a feeling of comradeship develops and good will of every one towards his neighbor gradually creates an atmosphere of mutual regard and understanding. Watch the faces as the assembly gathers and note the expressions as each one departs to his home and you will be forcibly struck by the change which has taken place. If you are a philanthropist you will recog- nize in music a dispenser of happiness. If, however, you are a statesman or a politician, in- terested in either national or city government, and fail to recognize the potent influence of music on the hearts and minds of men, you will have overlooked one of the great- est aids to successful self-government. The cardinal value of democracy is the rule of the people. The power basically rests with them. Mounte- banks, agitators and false teachers of all kinds appeal to the prejudice, cupidity and ignorance of the people at the same time the sincere and wise statesmen appeal to their saner judgment. Music by creating a spirit of good will and appealing to the best instincts makes men receptive to reason and is therefore a distinct aid in 22 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK the dissemination of sound economics and beneficial principles. Democracy has thus far met every challenge although displaying many weaknesses. It overthrew autocracy in 1776 in America, modified its rule throughout the world and gave direction to a new order of civilization in 1865. It conquered danger from within, when sectionalism threatened to disrupt the union by displacing national- ism. It met the world crisis from without in 1914- 1918, but it is confronted with another crisis which has arisen from within, not sectional, but yet a division into groups. Again we need to sound a call to preserve the Union—as in 1861—this time a union of thinking, so that We may understand each other better—a union of effort so that we may collectively produce more and therefore have more to distribute. The world needs a leader. How often is the wish ex- pressed for a Lincoln. The secret of Lincoln's success lies in the fact that he was of the people and understood them, and because he understood them he was able to guide them and to develop a unity of spirit and action out of a chaotic confusion of self-interests and widely di- versified opinions. Not only was he a man of remark- able judgment himself, but he caused the people, the final arbiters of the country’s destiny, to think straight. The prosperity and welfare of the country to-day depends upon guiding the people through the maze of false doc- trines and isms into sound and constructive thinking. The power is theirs and we must see that their judgment is developed along the lines which will bring the greatest benefit to all. If, as has been shown, music appeals to the best in man’s nature, allays strife and is conducive to a unity of purpose and to making men receptive to clear reasoning, then it is a force which should be utilized to the fullest extent. It is an ally of good government, MUSIC'S BROAD SCOPE 23 as it has proved itself to be an ally of the Army, of in- dustry and of the Red Cross. New York’s Music Week directed the attention of the public to music and in doing so rendered an invaluable service to the city’s entire population. It is hoped that it will become an annual event, not only in New York but in every city in the Union. It is this thought which has caused this book, giving the detailed account of this comprehensive pioneer “Music Week,” to be published. | - º | £% Typical Scene in Rest Room of Many Factories Which Participated in New York's Music Week DIGEST OF NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few sea- sons.

Let music be as much a part of a day's routine as eating or reading or working. —OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES. PECIFIC comment on the musical activities which took place during the week of February 1st to 7th, 1920, is difficult. It depends on the point of view. There were, few outstanding spectacular events, for attention was not concentrated upon the spectacular. Neither was attention concentrated upon serious music for the mu- sically cultured or upon popular music for those some- times classed as the masses, the sympathy of the Com- mittee, of course, being for good music. Music Week was a call to all the friends of Music to rally to the cause of Music, each in his own field and in his own way. Initiatory action was taken by the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music in calling together a few representative citizens and leaders in the various local musical activities to discuss the desirability of having a city-wide Music Week and to perfect an organization to carry it out. The meeting resolved itself into a small committee, which later was enlarged to include represen- tatives of each class of organization whose coöperation was sought. It then was divided into a number of sub- committees and the general plan formulated. Sugges- 25 26 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK tions as to participation were made to the various organ- izations, but the specific nature and the details were left to each organization, with a request that it notify the committee.

A The record of the week reflects the extent and the character of the participation. When it is considered that the committee had but two months to prepare its plans and acquaint thousands of organizations in half a hundred different fields, the response was truly remark- able. The conservatism of the musical profession is uni- versally recognized Training, custom and mental atti- tude have all combined to cause them to measure musical achievement solely by the standard of artistic excellence rather than by the extent of its usefulness. Yet a nation is called musical only when its people are musical and not because it can boast of a few great musicians. We need the great musicians to lead us to discover the hidden beauties of music, but what the musicians need is that the people be made receptive followers so that they may be led to seek what the great composers and interpreters of music have to give. Great concert audiences are as essential as great artists. It is true that New York’s concert halls are well patronized, yet one sees much the same faces at all the musical events. It is estimated that New York’s concert audience is limited to 30,000 people out of a population of 6,000,000, or one-half of one per cent. New York should become the world’s mu- 28 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK sic center. It has the wealth to build great auditoriums and temples of music and to attract the great artists. In fact, they already come from every quarter of the globe. It needs only the audiences—not composed of one or two Selected groups of a few thousand people, but made up from and representing the general public. It needs a musical atmosphere which is alone the result of the in- fluence of music upon the sum total of the people. One hears of the musical atmosphere of a home or a colony or a city. It is simply the reflection of the in- fluence of music upon that home or community. The genius of the artist, no matter how great, can only pro- ject its magnetic influence to a limited extent among an unresponsive audience, while a responsive audience both catches and gives inspiration. The musical atmosphere of many of the countries of Europe is the natural product of years of the people’s familiarity with music. They have absorbed it as they have air and sunlight, while the American people have been too busy with other things. They have been engaged in the more strenuous occupation of developing a new country and have thus absorbed the spirit of commercialism. Only recently have they given serious thought to expanding that side of their natures which has to do with pleasures and the enjoyment of life. - It was this fundamental principle of obtaining par- ticipation in music by the general population which was the central thought back of New York's Music Week.’ and it was carried out by the uniting of all the friends of music in sympathy with this idea to coöperate in the accomplishment of this purpose. The results which the Committee was able to record are given here to show how widespread this coöperation was. No one was urged to do anything. (No great program of events was planned. Those who did the most reflected the greatest DIGEST OF FIRST MUSIC WEEK 29 interest, the strongest desire to help spread the influence of music and the clearest insight into the value of such a widespread demonstration. It also might be said those who contributed most received the most benefit, because they caught the true spirit. The participation as far as possible has been tabu- lated so that its extent may be more fully understood and also as a guide to other cities or future New York Music Weeks. What the full participation was can only be surmised, for we can tabulate only those participants of whom we have record. They, of course, represent but a portion of the total number. The tabulation is purposely printed in smaller type so that it may be passed over without losing the con- tinuity of the story. Yet it is there for reference and for the benefit of those who wish the detailed informa- tion. It also serves to give graphic emphasis to what must be considered a truly remarkable demonstration. THE CHURCHES CoOPERATION OF THE CLERGY God sent His Singers upon earth With Songs of sadness and of mirth, That they might touch the hearts of men And bring them back to heaven again. —LONGFELLOW. NE of the outstanding features of Music Week, at Once a tribute to the value of the demonstration and a prominent factor in its success, was the coöpera- tion of the churches. The churches should be active co- workers in any movement which tends to bring music into the lives of the people, for music is inseparably asso- ciated with religious worship and teaching. Perhaps, however, the strongest reason for the sup- port of the clergy is that music in the home encourages family life, which is so essential to the growth of the church’s influence. The appreciation of this fact was fully manifested. The response was spontaneous and hearty. Four hundred and fifty churches, by actual count, participated directly in some way. This does not include the many which undoubtedly participated with- out sending word to the committee. Included in the list recorded were large and fashionable churches, small and struggling churches, and churches in between; churches in the densely populated urban quarters and in sparsely settled suburban areas; churches of all religions and sects and churches of no formal creed at all. In action as in word all were glad to unite in paying honor to 31 32 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK music and spreading the message of its benefit to man- kind. So quick were the clergy to appreciate the importance of Music Week that a preliminary letter sent out by the committee early in December in the hope of arousing an interest in the plan and thus starting the ball rolling brought in immediate and enthusiastic replies express- ing interest and a desire to help the cause. Many of the clergymen, in addition to signing the printed State- ment of approval of the Music Week project, added such significant remarks as “Splendid Idea,” “Glad to Help,” “Most Heartily in Sympathy,” etc. One clergy- man wrote, “The finest sermon delivered in our church was preached by the choir and organist.” An- other wrote that he had removed to Pittsburgh and hoped the committee would inaugurate a Music Week there. The participation of the churches in Music Week most commonly took the form of a sermon on music, a refer- ence to Music Week in the sermon, or special musical services. Many churches contributed in two of these three ways, the most usual combination being a sermon on some such subject as “The Moral Influence of Music” or “Music and Religion” and musical services once or oftener during the Week. The churches which had chimes rang them, at the sug- gestion of the committee, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sunday, February 1st, ushering in Music Week in this beautiful and appropriate way. All the churches in the Metropolitan District were circularized. The letters to them contained a special pamphlet, “Music Week and the Church,” by Dr. Chas. H. Parkhurst, chairman of the Special Committee on churches. THE CHURCHES_CLERGY 33 |BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN Abyssinian Baptist Church, Rev. A. Clayton Powell. Reference to music in sermon.

I give organs to churches or help churches to get organs, because I am willing to be responsible for everything the organs say, although I could not be responsible for all that is said from the pulpit. —ANDREW CARNEGIE. THE coöperation of the organists was as wholehearted as that of the clergy. It was the organists natur- ally who gave their services whenever a church an- nounced special musical programs as part of its Music Week observance. Yet only such organists have been listed as sent in specific announcement of the music they were planning to give. It is noteworthy that the organists did not confine their Music Week activities to the churches with which they were connected. Many of them, especially those who were also music teachers, conducted programs in their homes and studios. These outside contributions are listed elsewhere in this book. An oratorio or a cantata, and sometimes both, was a frequent effort for Music Week made by the organists in the churches. This work often involved special re- hearsals with augmented choirs. In addition, a number of organists gave an evening or afternoon musical pro- gram, thus in many cases arranging two or three church music events in honor of the Week. Scores of organists who did not send in a written pro- gram are known to have helped the clergy in celebrating Music Week by providing at least extra music on the 59 60 NEW YORK'S FIRST MUSIC WEEK opening Sunday of the Week, where no other musical observance took place. This participation in the city’s musical demonstration was so generally given, and was so eminently worthwhile where more elaborate plans could not be undertaken that it is unfortunate fuller in- formation regarding these contributions was not received by the committee, so that the organists’ remarkable par- ticipation in New York’s Music Week could be more completely recorded.

COOPERATION OF COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL HOUSES Give us, O give us the man who sings at his work He will do more in the same time—he will do it better— he will persevere longer. One is scarcely sensible of fatigue whilst he marches to music. —CARLYLE. MUSIC WEEK being a demonstration of music's *"* value in everyday life, the participation of the in- dustrial plants was sought. The Committee was most successful in arousing the interest of the city’s business houses to coöperate through musical activities at that time. The thought kept prominently in mind was to impress upon them the important truth of how music benefits the industrial world and how it can serve both employers and workers. So all the industrial plants and mercantile houses in New York and surrounding terri- tory employing more than 100 workers were circularized with letters and literature. Music has a distinct and well defined place in indus- try. The stage of theory and argument has passed, and demonstrated facts in a hundred different fields of effort are now available. This has been called the age of invention. Man has devised every conceivable kind of intricate and delicate machinery to do his bidding and to save his time and direct effort, but he has been so deeply absorbed in this direction that he has neglected his own human machin- ery. He has made free use of lubricants to make the mechanism of steel and iron run smoothly, but has neg- lected to guard against friction and wear and fear of 67 G © 68 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK the far more sensitive mechanism of flesh, blood and IſleTVéS. The war woke him up. The great strain fell on man himself—his nerve, his energy, his intellect, his endur- ance, and he was obliged to study ways and means of obtaining maximum efficiency at minimum expenditure of vital force. It was in these trying times that he dis- covered the great value of music. It refreshed his spirit, relaxed and stayed his nerves, removed the weariness from his muscles and clarified his brain. It increased production while conserving energy. Since the war mu- sic has been established as an important factor in indus- try and each month has witnessed a wider appreciation of its services. In future Music Weeks industrial and mercantile plants are certain to take an even more con- spicuous part. The first letter sent to this group of participants, written about the middle of December, was very brief, merely announcing Music Week, and asking that they coöperate with the committee and notify it of any plans they might make. The letter also called attention to the increasing use of music in industry as a soothing, har- monizing and stimulating influence and enclosed a book- let, specially prepared on this subject by the committee, entitled “New York's Music Week—Industrial Section.” This booklet gave rather full data as to the utilization of music in industry and its resultant benefits, and made suggestions as to musical activities appropriate to in- dustrial plants during Music Week and after. Later a second letter was sent to the business houses offering help in securing song leaders and musical talent. The coöperation of more than 100 plants in Music Week was obtained to the direct knowledge of the com- mittee. Many of these plants employed a thousand or more men and women. The holding of noon-day sings COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL HOUSES 69 for the workers was the usual method of participation, but more ambitious programs were undertaken in some places. The New York Community Service, the Y. M. C. A., the Neighborhood Service and other organizations lent valuable coöperation. BOROUGHS OF MANHATTAN, BRONX, AND RICHMOND NEW YORK CITY B. Altman & Co.

COOPERATION OF MUSIC TEACHERS Every well-trained youth and girl ought to be taught the elements of music early and accurately. —RUSKIN. HE music teachers responded nobly. Owing to the shortness of time in preparing for Music Week, the lack of sufficient office help and the restricted supply of the general booklets on Music Week, the committee was able to circularize only the music teachers of Greater New York, instead of those in the entire Metropolitan District, as would otherwise have been done. Neverthe- less nearly 200 offers of coöperation were received from the teachers, despite the fact that they were not ap- proached until two weeks before Music Week. This gave them little opportunity for preparation. The coöperation of the music teachers took two spe- cific forms. The first was the arranging of concerts of their pupils to which parents and friends were invited, and the second the recommendation to their pupils that each arrange, once during Music Week, a musical evening at home, to which friends and neighbors be asked if cir- cumstances warranted. The plan included even the be- ginners and many little tots occupied the position of prima donna with the parents constituting the sole audi- ence. Nevertheless these embryo musicians had their interest in music quickened by the consciousness that they were part of the great city-wide demonstration. In these various ways, it was pointed out, special atten- tion would be concentrated on music in a great number of homes and many individuals impressed with its im- portance as a factor in everyday life. 75 76 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK A large percentage of the teachers coöperated in the ways suggested above, while still others made even more elaborate plans for the occasion.

P. P. CLAXTON, Commissioner of the National Bureau of Education. Music . . . is the best mind-trainer on the list. —DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT, President Emeritus, Harvard University. Thr participation in Music Week by the public schools - was complete and certainly as productive of benefit as any one feature. All the activities were in charge of George H. Gartlan, Director of the Department of Music. There were 472 schools in all with an estimated attendance of nearly a million pupils. These schools will not be listed, as they represent the full number of public schools in Greater New York, and we wish to Save space. - | Little effort was made to secure coöperation from private schools and no effort for public schools outside the city, yet several such schools manifested a desire to participate and these are listed below. The public school participation consisted in special assembly singing on each of the five school days of the week, contests among the high school orchestras and the 93 94 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK writing of essays on music subjects for prizes by high School pupils. In some of the schools also an open letter to the chil- dren on the value of music and its place in the develop- ment of the race by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler was read to the students. In the private schools participation was usually through musical programs especially arranged for the occasion, with or without outside help. A large number of children both in the public schools and in the private schools were presented by the Com- mittee with free tickets of admission to the National Music Show and Festival at the Grand Central Palace. Prizes were given by the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music to the High Schools in Manhattan and Brooklyn winning the school orchestra contest in each of those boroughs. DeWitt Clinton High School won the Manhattan Borough Contest and the Boys' High School won the contest in Brooklyn. The National Bureau also gave first and second prizes to the school whose pupils won the honors in essays on music subjects. These honors went to Miss Lillian Engelhardt of the Flushing High School and Miss Esther Pfiffer of Wash- ington Irving High School. COOPERATION OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS Four hundred and seventy-two public schools in Greater New York coöperated through the Department of Education, as stated above. In addition to the coöperation given through the New York Board of Edu- cation, the following musical activities took place in the public schools both in and out- side of the city: SCHOOLS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE 95 Belleville High School, Belleville, N.

COOPERATION OF MUSIC CLUBS Alas for those who never sing, but die with all their music in them. —OLIVER WENDELL HoDMES. f Moº than a score of music clubs in the Metropolitan district contributed to the activities of Music Week. From Yonkers on the North, Hackettstown on the West, Westfield on the South, and Floral Park on the East there was “something doing” every appropriate minute of the week. The music clubs conducted sings in factories and mu- sical entertainments in churches, moving picture houses, schools and homes. They organized concerts and musi- cales and produced oratorios. A specially distinctive feature was the presentation of parts of operas in the Manhattan Opera House by the National Opera Club of America, Inc., under the auspices of the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. Throughout the Week afternoon and evening musical programs were given at the Grand Central Palace by the New York State Federation of Music Clubs.

It gives tone to the universe, wings to the wind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, gayety and life to everything. —PLATO. HE Women's clubs were very glad to coöperate, as they recognized that music was not only a great and growing force for the civic welfare in which they were interested, but was also a direct aid to the clubs in many of their activities. It was therefore natural that these organizations pay honor to music in some direct way during Music Week. Several plans were used, in- cluding: (1) A concert or recital at the club headquarters. (2) A lecture or lecture-recital on some musical topic. (3) A club evening at the Concert or Opera, at which organizations interested might reserve blocks of seats for their members. The response of the clubs was most gratifying in ex- tent as well as in variety. In many instances the activ- ities undertaken brought musical opportunities to a wider circle than the mere club membership, and were designed to benefit the whole community through the influence of music. Cases in point were the offering of prizes in the schools for essays on music, the furnishing of musical programs in hospitals, and special work launched dur- ing Music Week to secure increased attention to music in the school curriculum. 101 102 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK GREATER NEW YORK AND SURROUNDING TERRITORY Daughters of Columbia County His- torical Society.

THE coöperation of the city's various musical organ- izations was, of course, expected and this was en- thusiastically given in many instances. As they caught the spirit of the occasion their interest increased and another year with more time to prepare, the participa- tion of these organizations will be even more elaborate and more complete. The musical organizations herein listed coöperated as indicated below. Boston Symphony Orchestra, Pierre Monteux, Conductor.

Wherever there is harmony, there are good citizens, and therefore we must provide all the good music that is pos- sible to fill Philadelphia with the right kind of citizens. —J. HAMPTON MooRE, Mayor of Philadelphia. ANY civic organizations lent their hearty coöpera- tion to the Music Week celebration and were most helpful.

NEW RocRELLE's MUSIC WEEK So impressed were the people of New Rochelle with the idea of Music Week that this nearby suburb of New York organized a Music Week of its own in order to coöperate to the fullest extent with New York's Music 107 108 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK Week. For this reason it is given a distinctive listing. Much praise is due the efforts of Miss Veronica Govers, chairman and prime organizer of New Rochelle’s Music Week; to Mayor Harry Scott, honorary chairman; Dr. Albert Leonard, Superintendent of Schools, and Mr. Harold Forbes, editor of the Daily Star, as well as to the members of the Committee. SCHEDULE OF EVENTS Cantata (Maunder’s) with double quartette, and organ recital; First Presbyterian Church. Program of music by Horatio Par- ker; North Avenue Presbyterian Church.

COOPERATION OF MUSIC MANAGERS Popular music, after all, is only familiar music. —THEODORE THOMAS. THE music managers were at first skeptical both as to the practicability of Music Week and its value. As the various plans of the committee took definite form and they realized the broad scope of the movement they recognized that they had a direct interest in its success and were glad to lend their aid. It meant more people interested in music and therefore larger audiences for them. Walter Anderson. Recital, Fred Patton, baritone. Recital, Robert Quait, tenor. Raoul Biais.

THE participation of the moving picture houses was especially valuable, for these popular institutions reached people unconscious of music's appeal and there- fore those who could not be induced voluntarily to seek its pleasures. There was abundant reason for the co- operation by the “movies,” for music has been the means of placing them on a far higher plane than they could possibly have attained without it. Each year the moving picture houses are bringing to their millions of patrons a higher class of music and it is believed in this way they are destined to exert a tre- mendous influence on the musical development of the country. Their coöperation in other Music Weeks will be more comprehensive as they realize the benefit they themselves will derive from their close association with it. In addition to the participation listed below, three film companies took pictures of Music Week activities in various parts of the city, but owing to the weather and unfavorable indoor conditions, they did not turn out well.

THE participation by the hotels was of great value and far reaching, for it brought Music Week’s mes- sage to the city’s thousands of visitors. Hardly a hotel of prominence but responded to the spirit of the Week. Most of them displayed Music Week stickers on their menu cards and distributed Music Week booklets.

COOPERATION OF WOLUNTEERS In music you will soon find out what personal benefit there is in being serviceable. —RUSKIN. N a series of events as numerous and varied as those which made up New York’s Music Week the services of a large number of musicians were of course essential. That many of these would be volunteers was to be ex- pected. It is impossible to state how many artists gave their services without remuneration to the Organizations and individuals arranging concerts, musicales, lectures and other programs in honor of the Week, as no reports were asked for regarding the number of paid and vol- unteer musicians participating. It is a conservative esti- mate, however, that several hundred singers and instru- mentalists appeared without thought of honorarium, mak- ing this their contribution to Music Week. Such artists were found most frequently on the pro- grams of the Welfare associations, public and eleemosy- nary institutions, Schools, theaters and industrial plants, and many of them are listed in the concerts under those heads in this book. Scores of well known musicians vol- unteered through the music clubs and musical organiza- tions. Others enlisted through Mr. Charles D. Isaacson, offering to play or sing at the hospitals, jails, homes for the aged and other institutions for which he arranged Music Week concerts. .- The committee itself made no appeal for volunteers. The assumption was that the organizations planning Music Week events would themselves call for such vol- 117 118 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK unteers if needed or that musicians desiring to volunteer their services would get in touch with those managing the concerts. Only those who volunteered directly through the committee are listed below. Raymond Barry, Accompanist. Gertrude Bianco, Soprano. Dwight A. Blackman. Platon Brounoff, Pianist, Singer and Lecturer.

COOPERATION OF MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENTS Song brings of itself a cheerfulness that wakes the heart to joy. —EURIPIDES. HE MUSIC SCHOOL SETTLEMENTS Were en- thusiastic in their coöperation in the Music Week celebration. Each one participated in some way. Re- citals by specially talented pupils were given at the Grand Central Palace and one Music School Settlement empha- sized the spirit of Music Week by bringing it to every one within a limited territory. Thus, those who were sick and bed-ridden had music brought into their own homes by these embryo, yet talented musicians. Brooklyn Music School Settlement. Music School Settlement.

IN the leading theaters of the city soloists appeared between the acts, thus reminding every one in the au- dience of New York’s Music Week and enabling them to participate in the celebration. A significant feature of the coöperation of the theaters was the interest mani- fested by the actors and stage hands. The applause came from behind the stage as well as from the audience and all scene shifting was stopped during the playing of the soloists. Those who are familiar with the importance of speed in scene shifting will appreciate this tribute to Music Week. Placards announcing Music Week were placed in the lobbies of most theaters. Bijou Theatre. Shubert-Crescent. Booth Theatre. Shubert-Riviera. Casino Theatre. Shubert Theatre. Central Theatre. Thirty-Ninth Street Theatre. Comedy Theatre. Wanderbilt Theatre. 123 COOPERATION OF CONCERT HALLS A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beau- tiful which God has implanted in the human Soul. —GOETHE. EVºy week is Music Week at the large opera houses and concert halls during the musical season, and it is therefore natural that these high spots in New York’s music life should receive the accumulated interest which was aroused by the city-wide demonstration. These houses were the natural mecca of the music loving public. The Chicago Opera Company inaugurated its Sunday Night Concerts on the first night of Music Week with Titta Ruffo as soloist and announced its initial concert under the auspices of the National Bureau for the Ad- vancement of Music in honor of New York’s Music Week. The programs of the different houses follow: METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE Sunday evening:— Thursday, special matinee:— Mischa Elman, Florence Easton, “Butterfly” — Farrar, Ingram, Zanelli.

Where there is beautiful music it is diffi- cult for discontent to live. —HERBERT SPENCEB. Th; extensive and widely varied coöperation of the city’s welfare organizations was one of the most im- portant factors in the success of Music Week. Through the activities of the New York Community Service, the Y. M. C. A., and the Y. W. C. A., the Salvation Army and numerous religious Societies and specialized philan- thropic organizations in industrial plants, the Grand Cen- tral Palace, at their own headquarters and elsewhere the message of music was brought to many thousands of men, women and children. Many of the concerts were organ- ized by Charles D. Isaacson, editor of the New York Globe “Family Music Page.” *, Few people realized how many welfare organizations the city had until they concentrated their efforts in the musical demonstration. * American Relief Association, Bowery Mission.

A” important part of the Music Week activities cen- tered about the city’s public and eleemosynary in- stitutions. This was in line with one of the distinct pur- poses of the committee, the bringing of music's blessings to those to whom they were usually inaccessible. Hos- pitals, charity homes and orphan asylums were the chief beneficiaries, although special music was also brought to a number of self-supporting institutions. Charles D. Isaacson had charge of this division and his splendid work in arranging for and handling it was a conspicuous factor in the success of this phase of Music Week. TSpecial mention should also be made of the Epileptic Band in the Epileptic Village of Skillman, N. J. This band, composed entirely of epileptics, not only played for * the inmates of their own institution but visited other nearby institutions as well. - * * 3 ~. Bellevue Hospital.

COOPERATION OF PUBLIC LIBRARIES Language is not subtle enough, tender enough, to ex- press all we feel, and when language fails, the highest and deepest longings are translated into music. —INGERSOLL. A TOTAL of 79 public libraries distributed through the Boroughs of Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn participated in Music Week. Their contributions con- sisted in the displaying of posters informing their pa- trons of the music demonstration and its purposes. In addition, many of the libraries where a story telling hour for children is an institution, observed the Week by in- troducing tales from the lives of great composers. 137 NATIONAL MUSIC SHOW GRAND CENTRAL PALACE Music, that gentlier on the spirit lies Than tired eyelids upon tired eyes. —ALFRED TENNYSON. N outstanding feature of Music Week was the re- markable Music Show at the Grand Central Palace given under the auspices of the Music Industries Cham- ber of Commerce. It contained probably the greatest array of musical instruments ever brought together un- der one roof and showed the phenomenal development which has taken place in recent years in these instru- ments. Among the exhibits was an old Square piano im- ported from Europe by the first John Jacob Astor during the administration of George Washington, but most of the exhibits were modern, representing the last word in musical instrument manufacture. The art instruments embodied many exquisite period case designs. Of special interest was the reproducing piano which reproduces the exact playing of the great artists, includ- ing every eccentricity of touch and tempo, even though the artists themselves may be a thousand miles away. One exhibitor portrayed the history of music in the film from the monochord, which was originated over 2000 years ago, to the present time. Another made actual tone comparisons of a phonograph record with the orig- inal artist who sang in duet and it was difficult to tell which was the natural and which the reproduced voice. A striking feature of the Music Show was a large 139 140 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK carillon bell tower placed in the center of the Grand Cem- tral Palace. It was erected as a model of the proposed Carillon Victory Chimes to be built in honor of those who had fought in the World War and in celebration of our victory. Each bell was to represent one of the states in the Union and was to be paid for by pennies given by the school children of the state. Although carillon chime towers are a familiar sight in Belgium and Holland, where the idea originated, there are none in the United States. Both the tower itself and the playing of the chimes regularly each day in celebration of special oc- casions would constitute a most appropriate reminder of our victory in Flanders. The carillon chimes in the Grand Central Palace were played every half hour. It is hoped the time will come when the people of America will support a music show as they do an auto- mobile show and manifest as great interest in the latest developments in musical instruments as in touring cars. It will mean that the Subconscious desire for musical ex- pression which was made an integral part of man’s na- ture, has been quickened. When the people as a whole realize what music means to them, then music will serve its full purpose to mankind. LIST OF EXHIBITORS A. B. Chase Piano Co., Apollo Piano Co., New York. DeKalb, Ill.

T was natural for the music trade to coöperate in a Music Week celebration because it has a direct in- terest in the spread of musical activity. This coöpera- tion was of very great help and every effort to secure similar help should be made by any committee contem- plating other music weeks. The greatest aid can always be secured from those most directly interested. In fact, the workers must be as a rule drafted from those who have a keen interest whether they be music teachers, pro- fessional musicians, music merchants or earnest music lovers, philanthropists and broad visioned municipal au- thorities who see in music a beneficial influence to the en- tire community. The Music Industry contributed much to New York’s Music Week, first in the Music Show in Grand Central Palace, for which it was responsible, and Second through the coöperation of its individual mem- bers. They distributed tens of thousands of Music Week booklets and nearly half a million Music Week stickers On their stationery—also a vast quantity of Music Week envelope slips, and displayed Music Week cards in their Windows. But perhaps their greatest contribution was the mention of Music Week in their newspaper advertise- ments and the public concerts they gave in their own Warerooms or the regular concert halls, as well as at the Music Show. The Aeolian Company gave four concerts in Aeolian 145 - 146 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK Hall, free to the public, at which appeared such promi- nent artists as Serge Prokofieff, Maurice Dambois, Guio- mar Novaes, Alfred Cortot, Marie Sundelius and Percy Grainger. An interesting feature was the accompani- ment for the 'cellist, Dambois, who is also a pianist, and whose own playing recorded on the Duo-Art piano, was used in his 'cello selections. The American Piano Com- pany arranged a most unusual concert at Carnegie Hall, also free to the public, at which the unique feature offered was the appearance on the same program of five pianists of international reputation—Leopold Godowsky, Rudolph Ganz, Benno Moiseivitsch, Arthur Rubenstein and Leo Ornstein—each of whom after playing in person was fol- lowed by the reproduction of one or more of his numbers on the Ampico piano. John Wanamaker gave an ex- tremely interesting series entitled “Tableaux Historiques de Musique” in their large auditorium daily during Music Week. These entertainments illustrated the de- velopment of the piano, the art of music and the dance, and drew crowded audiences. Many firms, including the first two mentioned above, carried out a series of most attractive and instructive programs with prominent artists at the Grand Central Palace during the Music Show, among them being a tone test demonstration by Thomas A. Edison, Inc., and a moving picture history of the development of the piano by the Standard Pneumatic Action Company. These contributions to Music Week are listed in this book with the Music Show.

PUBLICITY I am the friend of every effort to give music its rightful place in our national life. —WARREN G. HARDING. NE of the most interesting features of Music Week was the publicity it received, not only in New York City where it was held, but throughout the country. In fact, the widespread newspaper comment reflected the growing public interest in music and especially the popu- larity of the idea upon which Music Week was based— namely, the participation of all the people in a community in a music demonstration. There could be no more cer- tain indications that these celebrations appeal to the popular fancy and no greater encouragement to those wishing to inaugurate the movement in their own city. There is little doubt that local Music Weeks will spread throughout the country and a national Music Week will in all probability become an annual event. When we hear of the inhabitants of every town and ham- let and the great cities with their cosmopolitan millions Setting aside a special week in which to give expression to their emotional nature through music, we shall have been awakened to the importance of music to us all and America will have truly become a musical nation. An analysis of the publicity is interesting. Twenty- six papers in New York City alone devoted 4,315.1% inches, or more than 205 columns, to the subject. Newspapers in 102 cities in 37 different states and one territory out- side of New York City and in six Canadian Provinces commented to the extent of 2,062 inches, or nearly 100 15] 152 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK columns. Music and music trade papers devoted 3,559% inches, or 169 newspaper columns. Grand total, 9,937 inches, or more than 473 columns. Except in the case of the music trade journals, the figures listed below were computed from clippings fur- nished by the various clipping bureaus. As these bu- reaus estimate that they do not find more than one-fourth of the articles they are commissioned to search for, it is evident that the actual amount of space devoted to New York’s first Music Week by the publications here given was vastly more than indicated. There were many editorials. Two are reproduced here, as they reflect the prevailing sentiment. Both were in newspapers of national reputation. One was pub- lished just prior to Music Week and the other several weeks after the excitement had passed and therefore shows the after impression and indicates that the influ- ence of Music Week was far more than transitory. (Editorial from Brooklyn Eagle, January 6, 1919) SOMETHING NEW IN MUSIC There have been many campaigns for popularizing music, sometimes in the form of giant festivals organized for profit, sometimes by making music accessory to patri- otic and other drives, and sometimes by organizing com- munity “sings” outdoors and in halls. But the Music Week which is planned for this city beginning February 1 is different from any or all of these and is designed to be very much more pervasive. In the first place the money making element seems to be absent; at any rate, it will not be conspicuous. In- stead of a few monster concerts with high prices of ad- mission, stores, shops and factories are asked to organ- ize musical performances of their own in which their own employees shall take part; the clergy quite generally have pledged coöperation, which means concerts in churches and parish houses; and there is a committee to provide Soloists for such volunteer organizations. There will be concerts in the Schools, with essays and talks on music PUBLICITY 153 and community choruses will be asked to sing folk and popular Songs. The purpose of all this is not to make money, but to show the value of music as a “great restorative and vitalizing power,” as the committee sets it forth. The men behind the project include leaders of the musical and theatrical world and also a sprinkling of philanthropists and business men. If the plan is carried out in a way to interest the great bulk of the people to any such ex- tent as the great war drives interested them, the ultimate effect can hardly fail to be helpful to the community and helpful as well to the artists and organizations whose business is the presentation of music. Music is a restora- tive and vitalizing force, although the recognition of that is not so general as it should be. - Our crowded concert halls and opera houses show that we have come a long way from the attitude of the last century, when any music above the standard musical comedy and vaudeville was sneered at by many educated people as “high brow” and when it was difficult to secure audiences for even occasional orchestral concerts. But still good music is commonly available only at high prices and thus multitudes are debarred from any such intimate acquaintance with it as would reveal its power as a restorative and an inspiration. If Music Week shall suc- ceed in extending the area of its influence it will make such a beginning in a good work as the city has long waited for and needs. (Editorial from New York Tribune, Feb. 26, 1920) ARE AMERICANS MUSICAL 7 Is New York the most musical city in the world? Or is it the least musical? There is evidence looking in both directions, and it was all brought to the front of discus- sion by the highly successful Music Week which New York enjoyed. Other communities are planning similar exhibitions and celebrations. Echoes of the local festival still are reverberating. There is no question of the vol- ume of interest and musical activity throughout the na- tion. But are Americans really musical? The most obvious items that present themselves here are the list of concerts and the record of opera. These are appallingly large. So far as quantity goes this has Surely become the musical center of the world. And we 154 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK think it would be the concensus of expert opinion that in respect of quality also there is little anywhere to surpass the best that we have to enjoy. Against this direct evidence the critics of our musical ability set our undoubted lack of widespread musical training, technically speaking. We have been neither a singing people nor a playing people. The American home heard very little music—until recent years. There was the daughter who played “The Maiden's Prayer” or “Narcissus” or Mendelssohn’s “Spring Song.” There was some elementary hymn singing. There was Brother Bob’s mandolin—converted to Sister Violet's ukulele in recent years. Solid musical effort, either in voice train- ing, the learning of any instrument or choral singing, was the extraordinary exception. We had developed no mational folk-song since the negro spirituals; and these were all but ignored. These criticisms are all true, and yet the concert rec- ord of New York is not an isolated and unrepresentative fact. To the contrary, it is a true indication of a wide- spread rebirth of musical interest in America, due en- tirely to the mechanical music so foolishly disdained by Some musicians. It is not with a musical country like Italy that America of to-day is to be justly compared. The fair comparison is with America of a generation ago. Any such checking up will reveal the very real progress which “music week” is recording wherever it is held. The supercilious folk who suspected “canned” music of all sorts of evil influences lacked faith in their art as a matter of fact. There is only one way to develop taste in any art, and that is by saturating one’s self in it. To learn rules, or hear an occasional concert, or memorize a few pieces on a piano after years of disagreeable en- deavor, is not to become musical. The beauty of the player-piano and the talking machine, artistically speak- ing, was that they laid down no rules whatever. They simply filled the American home with music—good, bad, indifferent, as the taste of the owner elected. Taste does not remain stationary, however. There would be no progress in any art if it did. Music develops its own standards; it improves ears, comprehension, taste, as it goes along. That is the experience and testimony of every one who has watched the progress of mechanical music. The development of community singing is an interest- ing by-product that confirms this view. So in its way is PUBLICITY 155 the revival of dancing. And, best of all, here, as throughout this whole renaissance of music in America, pleasure is the motive and goal of those who participate. We should rate this as the most important fact in the present rise of America from being one of the least musi- cal countries toward, we hope, becoming one of the most musical. We are not taking our music sadly, as a pain- ful duty to the gods of uplift. We are listening and sing- ing and playing because we enjoy it. This is as music was intended.

Lºs full of hearty approval and encouragement were received from thirteen governors, one ex-gov- ernor and the mayors of six of our largest cities. Not only did these officials in whom rests the responsibility of caring for the welfare of the people express their sym- pathy with the idea of a citywide musical demonstration, but in most instances they voiced the hope that the idea would spread throughout the country. These letters show a breadth of vision on the part of our chief execu- tives and an understanding of our real needs which prom- ise well for our future happiness and prosperity. They also promise full coöperation to those inaugurating the movement in other cities. Before listing these letters, however, it may be ap- propriate to quote an interesting statement of the Presi- dent-elect expressing his sentiments as to the importance and value of music: I am in favor of placing the government squarely behind the nation-wide effort to bring music into its own and to establish a definite and permanent place for it in our national activities. $ #: # 150 j60 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK I have always favored the teaching of music, both vocal and instrumental, in our schools, and I shall ever feel that these studies should have an important and essential place in the educational curriculum of our institutions of learning from the lowest to the highest. #: $; $ Generally speaking, I am with the musical people and I am for them; I know music in an unpretentious way and I love it; we cannot have too much music; we need it—the world needs it—probably more than ever before, and I am the friend of every effort to give it its rightful place in our national life. —WARREN G.

Dear Sir: I have read with interest your comprehensive and laudable plan for the celebration of Music Week. It is a pleasure to be able to contribute something to the success of this broad educa- tional movement. Being a lover of music, I have long regretted that something was not done to direct popular attention to the pleasures to be derived from listening to well arranged and prop- erly balanced musical programmes. The value of music as a stimulus of patriotic fervor has long been appreciated, but only in comparatively recent times has its value as a curative agency been generally recognized. The fact that well known organizations and prominent men and women of the musical world are interested in your plan to spread and popularize good music is sufficient guarantee of the success of New York’s Music Week. Sincerely yours, (Signed) ALFRED E. SMITH. 162 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK PENNSYLVANIA GOVERNOR: Wm. C. Sproul, Harrisburg. (Telegram) Harrisburg, Pa., 10:13 A. M., January 28th. C. M.

I congratulate you upon your patriotic endeavor to arouse interest in music, which was probably the most inspiring art that contributed to the enthusiasm and patriotism of our people dur- ing the anxious days of the great war. Stirred to their depths by the patriotism of their sons, and by the impulses inspired by Music, the American people accomplished the impossible and earned a place in the history of the world that generations to follow can always be proud of. I wish you every possible success, and I know that the longer we live the more we will appreciate the wonderful value of music and those who cultivate it. (Signed) WILLIAM C.

STATE OF ILLINOIS Office of the Governor, Springfield - January 28, 1920. My dear Mr. Tremaine: Replying to your letter of January 21st. I beg to inform you that I have this day issued a proclama- tion with reference to the National Week of Song, of which I enclose here with a copy for your information. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) FRANK O. LowDEN. Mr. C. M. Tremaine, Secretary, National Bureau for the Advancement of Music, 105 West Fortieth Street, New York, New York. A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR OF ILLINOIS During the war the spirit of coöperation and patriotism touched all of our educational and civic activities. It was a real baptism in the flowing stream of service. One can not be- lieve that the influence of those great days will fade out of the hearts and minds of the people. However, with the signing of the armistice, there was a noticeable let-down in the spirit of community effort and coöperation. The old spirit of the selfish interest of the individual or of a group began to appear. Per- haps this reaction is unavoidable. It is believed, however, that an especial effort should be made to revive the old altruistic, patriotic spirit. A nation-wide program of song is proposed for all the states in the Union. The week chosen includes the birth- day of George Washington. It is urged that a nation-wide song week will rekindle the fires of love of country. It is believed 164 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK that the schools, the churches, civic and social organizations may join in this nation-wide program of song. I, therefore, proclaim the week of February 22 to 28, inclusive, as the week which should be observed throughout Illinois in the schools, the churches, and the communities as a National Week of Song.

That the people of the mighty metropoli- tan district will derive inestimable benefit from the experience, and will continue in more intimate touch with this, divinest of all arts, as a result of that experience, I know full well. Music awakens all that is best in man. Heartens him; en- courages him; arouses him; soothes him. I believe a fuller knowledge of the great music writers of the past and present, and more familiarity with their work will exert an influence, which, while subtle, will prove most potent in leading our peo- ple toward that contentment which, after all, is the one goal we all seek. I sincerely hope that New York’s example may be copied throughout the nation, and wish for those having this initial campaign in hand a most unqualified success. Yours very truly, (Signed) WM. N.

My dear Sir: - I am glad to learn of the elaborate plans of your Committee for the celebration of Music Week, February 1st to 7th, under the auspices of the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music. The success of this action is assured. The place of music in our daily life is definitely fixed, and its benefit to so- ciety is unquestionably established. The world war gave to us evidence of the power of music in its many phases. Inspiration, executive of plan, and comfort to those who suffered all came from this one source in perhaps greater degree than from any other. I trust that your example in the observation of Music Week may be followed elsewhere, not only for the benefit which will accrue in giving to our country foremost rank in the musical world, but for the material benefit which will come in the in- fluence exerted during times of unrest attendant upon recon- struction. With all good wishes, I am, Very truly yours, (Signed) JAMES M. Cox. 174 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK MAINE GOVERNOR: Carl E. Milliken, Augusta. STATE OF MAINE Office of the Governor, Augusta January twenty-six, Nineteen twenty. Dear Mr. Tremaine: I have been much interested in reading your plans for the observance of New York's Music Week. It is an interesting and original phase of community life that should be developed. It cannot fail to bring good results. Music, more than anything else, has a universal appeal. It is the one language all can understand. I firmly believe that a Music Week such as you have planned, with concerts in which both standard and popular numbers are featured, cannot but be productive of good. Particularly do I be- lieve that the American people should be acquainted with the folk songs of other countries. One of the most inspiring events that greeted the United States Navy when it sailed around the globe was the singing of “The Star Spangled Banner” by an immense chorus of Japanese school children. American children could not, I believe, sing the Japanese air. There are thou- Sands of grown-ups who cannot sing their own National air. I hope that “The Star Spangled Banner” will have a place on every program during your celebration. Let that be first and later have all become familiar with the best of home songs and standard compositions. Very truly yours, (Signed) CARL E. MILLIKEN, Governor of Maine. To : Mr. C. M.

STATE AND MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES” LETTERS 177 CITY OF NEW YORK OFFICE OF THE MAYOR - January 31, 1920. C. M. Tremaine, Esq., Secretary, National Bureau for the Advancement of Music, 105 West 40th Street, N. Y. Dear Mr. Tremaine: The plan of the National Bureau for the Advancement of Music to hold a “Music Week’’ in this city will appeal to all. As the principal object sought is the more general spreading of interest in music and the knowledge of its benefits, it has my heartiest approval for it should reach every element of our great cosmopolitan population. Among the many efforts which the city administration has made to bring comfort wherever possible to the masses of the people, the providing of musical entertainment on a more am- bitious scale than that attempted by any previous administra- tion, has received the most general commendation. Of course, the city’s activities in this direction has been limited to the funds at its disposal. But much personal and financial assistance has been given from time to time by the patrons of music and philanthropic citizens. We were prompted to inaugurate an extensive program of music as it was a lamentable fact that little if any attempt had been made in the past to provide free music for the toiling masses of slender means. Private initiative had been able to provide musical excellence for those with the means to pay. The rich enjoyed good music, which they could well afford, while those less financially able were denied the same privilege, of which they were in even greater need. There were then two extremes. Recognizing that music should be within the reach of all, and with this in mind, the city administration set itself to the task of providing generous programs of vocal and instru- mental entertainment for the great body of our people, in the parks, recreation centers and other places of public assemblage. The results were most gratifying and highly successful. You ask my views as to the value of music to the people. I 178 NEW YORK’S FIRST MUSIC WEEK feel, as all must, that in the war music was a tremendous factor in sustaining the morale of our brave boys in the trenches and on the firing line, and that this helped to Secure our ultimate victories. Again, music can now be of vital service to the civil popula- tion in these days of readjustment and unrest. With wily agita- tors secretly or openly preaching sedition and the evil element seeking to create disturbance among the unthinking people, ap- peals to reason may sometimes lack audiences. This would scarcely be true of appeals to the imagination. It was Lecky who said, that it is much easier to govern great masses of men through their imagination than through their reason. As an appeal to the imagination, music with its beneficent influences instantly suggests itself. There is no life so hard that music does not enter it as a mild and healing agency. There is no intellect so beclouded that music cannot bring a ray of light into the darkened mental corners. Hence the potential value of music in the creation of Social harmony is beyond estimate. We proudly contend that the City of New York is on a par with any city in its operatic and concert fields—fields, however, which have not yet attracted the patronage of all classes. If all the people can be aroused to the soothing and elevating ef- fects of good music and can experience its great mental and physical stimulus, this city will add to its achievements the distinction of being the “Music Center of the World.” Sincerely yours, JOHN F.

The man who said in effect that the composer of a nation’s songs is greater than the maker of its laws referred to the unques- tioned psychological power of words set to music to stir the soul of man who can join in singing: “My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty,’ without awakening in his soul a nobler devotion to the principles which make this the ‘land of the free and the home of the brave.’’’ • WM.

I have not been able to get anything to you for the Music Week you are having this week and, therefore, I trust you will excuse me from attempting it at this late date. I am glad that you say that Detroit is one of the country's most musically progressive cities because we have had such a wide reputation for progress industrially that it will do us no harm to have the world know we have some diversity of interest. My own observation is that music is not generally dissemi- nated in this country and it does not reach the masses but rather the so-called upper and middle classes, while I believe the great- est good is to be derived from it by reaching the workers and particularly the foreign workers of which Detroit has so many. This was the need I spoke of in a little talk I gave to the committee who were interested in promoting Detroit's Music Week. I was glad to ascertain that it seemed to be the con- sensus of the committee that this was true and they were going to try to overcome this deficiency. Respectfully yours, (Signed) JAMES CouzFNs, Mayor, STATE AND MUNICIPAL AUTHORITIES” LETTERS 183 DALLAS, TEXAS MAYOR: Frank W. Wozencraft. (Telegram) Dallas, Tex., Feb. 9th, 1920. C. M. Tremaine, Secretary, N. Y. Music Week Committee, 105 West 40th St., New York City, N. Y. Good music makes good citizens. It is an important factor in municipal life which is often neglected but which properly employed results in great good. Observance of “Music Day” did a great deal to create interest in music in Dallas and the appointment of an official music commission has met with uni- versal approval. Music Memory Contests are being held. A Municipal Chorus is being organized. Music clubs meet with popular encouragement and we are enjoying a concert season second to none held in any city in America except New York. In the Summer time we have singsongs in the parks which are attended by thousands. The place of music in our community life is definitely established. I am very happy that the metrop- olis is ready to take the lead in music as in other things. I wish for your Music Week unqualified success and I hope that the power of music to promote better citizenship will be here- after fully utilized. (Signed) FRANK W.
