Does North Carolina Need A Stale Symphony Orchestra? Editorial Note: Does North Carolina need a Symphony Or chestra? Governor R. Gregg Cherry and other prominent citizens ot the State have an swered strongly in the affir mative and are sponsoring a State-wide campaign to raise funds to support a State Sym phony. In the following article Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin, Di rector of the Orchestra, tells why the State needs a State Symphony now.) By Dr. Benjamin F. Swalin Director, North Carolina Symphony Orchestra Great music is a cultural, spiri tual, and inspirational force in the life of civilized man. Since a large part of the world’s greatest music is written for the symphony or chestra, the cause of a vital State Symphony Orchestra is virtually identical with the cause of great music itself. The cause is certainly educative. If a routine academic education means to prepare us for life, who does it so frequently disregard our esthetic sense? Indeed, a person can achieve a liberal arts degree in many institutions throughout the land without being exposed to a single arts course. Even a Drofes sor may be heard to exclaim about the arts, “I don’t know anything about them, but I kno.v what I like.” Does he pronounce his judg ments similarly in the field of medicine? Yet we condone this at the same time granting that the mark of a fine person is the devel opment of his taste. It now seems necessary for ev eryone to respect at least certain minimum standards of public health. There are also laws gen erally requiring minimum literacy i tests so that a person shall know how to read and write his native tongue; but there are no protective laws against indoctrination by cor ruptive and lascivious music, in spite of the fact that some of this music might be so profane that were it translated into language it could not be endured for a mo ment. Good music has great moral po tentialities. Plato, in his “Repub lic,” stated that if the Greek youth were trained in good music, he would be quick to perceive that which is handsome and that which is unhandsome. “Approving all that is lovely, he will welcome it home with joy into his soul, and, nourished, thereby, grow into a man of a noble spirit.” Aristotle spoke of the “catharsis” cr purg ing value of good music. Paul Green in his book, “The Hawthorn Tree,” took the thesis that all of the arts should uplift, ennoole, and elevate nlankind. Measure the effect of jazz and swing music on the young people today, and we can easily interpret the degenerative effect of the re actions they produce. Plato might have allied it to “baseness of thought and expression and base ness of character.” The first Symphony Orchestra in the United states was me Hew York Philharmonic Society, rather timorously begun in 1842. Today, there are several hundred profes sional and semi-professional sym phony orchestras in the natioh. Four-fifths of these, it is said, have originated since World War 1. and nearly 100 symphony orchestras appeared in the depression decade between 1930 and 1940. In spite of the harsh exigencies of war, this number continues to multiply rap idly. What is the cause of this meteor ic development. It is, of course, needless to state that the effect of better music over the radio and in motion pictures, and the accessibil ity of more fine recordings and concerts have had a profound in fluence on taste; but there is also a process of cultural decentraliza tion taking place in the United States. The North Carolina Symphony Orchestra is one manifestation of this movement, r nd it may answer the oft-repeated query as to wheth er there is even one major sym phony orchestra in the entire South. In its world of radio, telegraph, telephone, television, airplanes, ships, machinery, and atoms, sci ence has always refused to take no. It even acts on hunches. The North Carolina Symphony Society will never take no in its significant expansion program. The orchestra will be enlarged. it proposes to bring music to the people. It will broadcast periodi cally; give children’s concerts; young people’s concerts; concerts concerts; and regular concerts with distinguished soloists. It will also encourage talented American composers by giving their works a hearing; and it will vigilantly seek out new talent. It will create a profession for mu sicians, including returning serv ice men and women. When the late President Roose velt stated in his congressional message of January 11, 1944, that everyone has the right to a re munerative job, he meant jobs for qualified musicians, too. Let us construct a living war monument in North Carolina. Our State Symphony, like any other ‘adventure into the spirit,’ will thrive on exposure. Good music en nobles and uplifts mankind; it is educative, enjoyable; and enter taining; it is universal and inter national since it is comprehended by virtually all civilized races of man, and thus it is a bond among men. Millions of people want the good things of life. The common man is worthy of them, I have seen him in a small town wait in line for an hour in order to buy a Sunday edition of a famous newspaper be cause it is a good newspaper. He will do that, too, for our North Carolina Symphony Orchestra; and he will like it better as he knows it better.
