F—6 T HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, JULY 14, 1935—PART FOUR. CAPITAL'S “SUNSET” SYMPHONIC SEASON BEGINS TODAY American Public Attitude Toward Music Is Changed Evidence Is Increased Summertime Activities, Manifest in Concerts and Operatic Performances. By Alice Eversman. HE increased musical activities of the Summertime evident in the concerts and operatic performances which are now en- thusiastically undertaken in so many cities throughout the country, show that the American public’s attitude toward this universal art medium has undergone a change. This change is recognizable in two things; first, the willingness to listen to the best type of music, and secondly, the realizatien that music is not to be relegated to a certain period of the year and only approached for its cultural value. Not so long ago it would have been almost inconceivable to imagine & symphonic program or a heavy operatic presentation drawing a host of eager listeners during the Summertime. The popular demand would have been for pleasant music which charmed the ear and put no strain on either the intellect or the emotions. Concentration and attentiveness were considered a part of the Winter program for cultural education to be discarded when the season of major events had finished. Now, the public cannot relinquish the pleasure which it discovered in music throughout the concert season for the many months given over to vacation. Hence the success of all Summer presentations of high-class music. The listening to music as a cultural | fore one’s eyes and fulfill or leave hecessity has been responsible for the attitude of wariness which many peo- ple have adopted toward the deeper musical programs. Not finding a ready response within themselves to | the more involved harmonies of the | great masters, it has grown to be the custom with many to feel that such music belongs only to the seekers after intellectual progress. In this lies the great mistake of a large portion of the type of people best fitted financial- 1y to support music. Music always has been and aiways will be an emotional art, which is best understood and best cultivated through emotional percep- tion rather than through the intel- lectual. Percy Bysshe Shelley in his “A De- | fence of Poetry” writes words that can be applied to music with equal truth when he says: “The cultivation of poetry is never more to be desired | than at periods when, from an excess | of the selfish and calculating prin- ciples, the accumulation of the ma- terials of external life exceed the quantity of the power of assimulating them to the internal laws of human nature. The body has become too unwieldy for that which animates it.” The power of poetry which he implies as a means of attaining the relaxa- tion that is the inherent need of bal- | ance in the human make-up is to be found much more completely in music. | The complexities of modern life have placed most of us on a treadmill where | our exertions must continue, yet the process brings little advancement. The attitude of mind engendered by | this struggle without release has at last been recognized as a pernicious one with dangerous results to be ex- pected. Just as an individual cannot con- sider his education as completely rounded out without a knowledge of | art, so also must the community standard contain this same education- | al need. Yet it is not the mental broadening which an appreciation of the masters brings that is to be the | most desired, but rather the soften- | ing, refining influence which is one of the benefits music confers. Learning is of little value if it does not lead to betterment and in music this is accomplished without any conscious | effort. The emotional side of a com- munity, as with an individual, must | be guided into correct channels, and | the first and surest method to accom- | plish this is to train all classes into | a communion with music and then let the art work for itself. Music is the vehicle of beauty. In its play of sweet sound lies embedded all the yearning after beauty which has possessed the world. Other arts place a concrete form of beauty be- unfulfilled the straining after the at- tainment of this elusive quality. But music treats of beauty in different fashion, in so delicate and subtle a manner and with such an all-embrac- ing sweep that each can discover the linements of his own particular idea of beauty. Not through form or con- struction is this done, but with har- monies whose power lies in the awakening of a grateful understanding from the listener. And this under- standing, which springs from the heart and not from the mind, is the force that clears away the evil and the ordinary and inclines one from the earthly to the finer planes where human happiness exists. When one considers that music is a record of all the emotional experi- ences of the whole span of the human | life, its unfailing appeal will be readily comprehended. The beat of rhythm with its crude expression of primitive with the same simplicity as was the daily life and poignant with unrebel- lious submission to conditions, the sturdy hymn tunes of the early | church, rugged, yet strong with feeling, | down to the noble musical monuments | left by the great composers of their | | search for the infinite, the sentiments | which stir the world to activity are recorded. | why the echo of these feelings is | found, clear and exact, in the heart today when it is submissive to the in- | fluence of music. | It is a good thing to keep the link with the past unbroken in this fash- ion, to cherish the shadows of the great thoughts and sentiments that coursed through the souls of mighty men. Music must carry on and there is no starting afresh on a clean page, untouched by the sorrows that have been experienced before. by the glorious history that music has inscribed in immortal tones. Music is not for the gifted or the intellectual alone, nor for a particular | season of the year. Paderewski said: “1 have noticed in instances of those who profess not to understand it or pose as silent enemies of my art, that they are still extremely pleased with pieces of their level. These people are attracted by some frivolous rhythm or moved by some bars of simple, touching melody, and for this reason T am inclined to believe that some music, like certain poetry, finds its appeal and way to all.” The continu- | ance of good music through the Sum- mer, under conditions within the reach of all, will do more to arouse a desire for more and better music than any of the superlative Winter music events can accomplish. Two Al Fresco Programs. TH’E Summer Festival Committee of the Community Center Depart- ment and the Office of National Capi- tal Parks has arranged for two festi- vals for the coming week at the Na- tional Sylvan Theater in the Wash- ington Monument grounds, the first | of which will take place tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock, when the Bekefi- Deleporte dance group is scheduled | for its annual appearance, in the open | air.
