American Music Needs Leader
Of Character Says Spalding
Noted Violinist Analyzes American Music, Pointing Out Its Faults
And Its Possibilities, Explaining That Musical Progress
Comes in Cycles and Today Is An Experimental Cycle.
o
The present tendency of
American life towards too much
sophistication has produced a
detrimental effect on the quality
of its folk songs, according to
Albert Spalding, noted violinist
and composer. "This sophisti
cation," he stated in an inter
view yesterday afternoon, "is
best noticed in a comparison
with the simplicity of the folk
songs of Ireland and Scotland."
He spoke easily and with a
quiet assurance, hesitating only
as he inhaled deeply from his
cigarette. A few moments be
fore, upon being ushered into
the room, the reporter had been
surprised to find a tall, dark man
dressed in a neat, well-cut morn
ing suit. His arms were long
and his hands large, yet withal
he possessed a surprising grace
and poise. His slender fingers
held the delicate movements of
the artist. As he spoke, his
voice was low and his eyes wan
dered slowly about the room.
Simplicity Wanted
"American composers," h e
said, placing his coffee cup on
the tray and leaning back in his
chair, "have dressed up their
songs with ginger bread and
smoothed off the rough edges,
but the rough edges are what we
desire in the folk song. The
power of native music lies in get
ting it as near as possible from
the soil. It has it's greatest in
fluence unadorned, and loses
much of its character and mean
ing when decorated."
On the whole the work of
American composers has had
little effect upon the music of

DEBATE TRYOUTS
ARE ANNOUNCED
University Will Meet State Col
lege in Forum Debate on
Presidential Candidates.
At the regular meeting, of the
debate group last Monday night,
presidential candidates for the
coming election were discussed,
preparatory to tryouts for the
forum debate with State college.
Tryouts will be conducted at the
next meeting of the group Mon
day night, October 24, in room
214, Graham Memorial.
The discussion at the last
meeting centered upon the can
didates for the coming presi
dential election. Speakers for
the Democratic candidate were
Dave Morgan, T. F. Shuford, C.
H. Donavan, L. T. Fountain, and
Bill Eddleman. Those who made
addresses for the Republican
candidate were J. Little, James
Baley, S. M. Pattishall, Lenoir
Wright, and John Wilkinson.

college will be held Thursday,

wording of the subject is:

the world, in the opinion of
Spalding. Although the com
positions of Sousa, Victor Her
bert and others have undeniably
been of merit, they have not
been sufficient to give America
a place beside the homes of Bach
and Beethoven.
"The contribution of America
to the field of music has been
little," he went on. "One must
not, however,, take this rather
pessimistic statement too seri
ously. The years of America's
history do not lie in a period
that saw musical progress in
any country. They were the
barren years of creative music.
Musical progress comes in cycles.
We are at present in the midst
of an experimental cycle, and
little contemporary music is of
an enduring quality."
Russians and Americans
Turning in his discussion to
the question of the modern Rus
sian composers, he drew a strik
ing analogy between the de
velopment of Slavic music and
the present American musical
situation, pointing out- the pos
sibilities for our future progress.
"Russian music," he said,
pausing a moment to light an
other cigarette while he gather
ed his thoughts, "has become
popular during the last twenty
five years. Previous to that
time she was as America, wad
ing through a period of experi
mentation. For the most part
her folk music was ot an im
ported variety, and her sym
phonic music dominated entirely
by Germany. It was not until
