A TRIBUTE TO AMERICAN SONG WRITERS.
T N a very interesting paper on "American
1 Songs," Karleton Hackett holds that in
this special form of music—the art of song
writing—our modern American composers
stand on a par with the best of the contem-
poraries of the old world. While the educa-
tion of almost all our American composers.
says Mr. Hackett, has been dominated by
German influence, it is an interesting fact
that in their songs they seem to strike out
an individual line. We cannot say that we
have a distinctly American school as yet,
nevertheless our songs are not copies of Ger-
man lieder, but settings of English poetry to
music that expresses the thought.
What is the basis of song writing? Melo-
dic inspiration. If a man has the gift of
melody he may write songs that will live; if
he has not this, then no matter what his tech-
nical command of the language of music, no
matter what ingenuity he may display in har-
monic invention, nor how admirable the
music may be from the standpoint of work-
manship, it is not song writing—the songs
will not sing. The voice expresses itself
through melody, and even the most impas-
sioned declamation must rest upon a melodic
"The Sun Dance."
