'Their Connection With Each Oth- er, Just as the intelligent readifig of a Hterary composition depends chiefly |. | upon two things, accentuation and ! punctuation, 'so does musical phras ing depend on the relative strength of the sounds and upon their connection with or separation from each other. Yt is this close Trela- tionship of language to music which makes their union in vocal music pessible and appropriate; and accord- ingly when music is allied to words it is necessary that the musical ac- cent show{d coincide with ghose of the text, while the separation of the vart- ous phrases agrees with the divi- sion of the text into separate lines or sentences. In instrumental mus- ic, although the same principles un: derlies its construction, there is-no such definite gwide as that afforded 'by the sense of the words in a song, and the phrasmg must therefgre be the result of a just appreciation on the part of the performer of the gens era} sense of the music and of the observance of certain marks by which phrasing in indicated. 2 If we now consider more closely ' the cause and consequences of a var- ety in" the strength of the notes of) fa phrase, we notice in the first place the necessity for an accent on the first note of every bar, and in certain rhythms on other parts of the bar also, There are certain irreguldr forms of accent occasionally requir- | ed by phrasing: which it is essential to notice, | In rapid passages, when there are | many notes in 4 bar, it is often nec- essary to introduce more accents than the ordinary rhythm requires, and the number and frequency of the 1accents will depend upon the number {of changes of harmony upon which I the passage is founded. Thus, for example, the first bar of a composi- tion may require seven accents while the first two bars may receive the ordinary rhythmic accent on the first note of each group, and the fourth bar may represent a different - har- mony, or if it should mot change again, accents may be altered. Ayecomposition when, written must be offered in recognize® tempos, but a composer's conception of how it should be played is clearly. marked by the suggestions in musical terms. Unfortunately thd average musician believes that he is.better- able to phrase the work than the composer himself, resulting in a massacre of a genius' conception. The Phonograph 'A Successful Phys- ician. To-day it js hardly necessary to mention the important place which the phonograph is taking 4m the life of the nation. Musif and entertain- ment, formerly limited to the few within audible range of the artists, are now carried faultlessly to the ends of the earth, ready at any time and place to be of service to min: kind. § \ Music is a real 'tonic, and the phonograph may 'be' termed a suc- [ioe physician. It brings comfort to the sad, it adds joy to the Nght hearted, it plays for the cheerful, to 'dance, it educates the children to an of harmony, it gives wholesome ples- sure to all, to young and old of ev- ery kind of varying Yaste. The phono- graph is the servant of its owner. ' It is never tired, mor unwilling, nor bashful, and at ne time does it lack inspiration.

MUSK StouD STUDY [AANA CANADA MUSIC CANADA MUSIC WEEK . - . At Easter, perhaps the most joyful festival of the year, our minds immediately conjure up a picture of budding life, and it is at this season that every creation of nature, from the smallest flower, feels the joy of living. The birds as soon as the dark days of winter are ended break out in song, in thankfulness to their Maker for his good- ness. We humans at Easter time should give expres- sion te our joy, and the most appropriate way in which » to do this is through the medium of MUSIC. Music in the Home Music in the Home While a number of us are talented, and scattered around this world of ours we may come across giants in the world of music, a large number, in fact the majority of us, are not capable of giving expression to this great means of communicating joy, except by our voices... We may not have a rich trained voice, we may not be capable. . of playing piano or violin, hut in this wonderful twen- tieth century we can, threngh the hard work of clever men, have every variety and class of music in our homes.' Through the medium of the Graphophone and the Player Piano, you can, although absolutely without training, hear, and even play music to suit the most varied taste, Give your children every opportunity to learn music. The home is the place where music i§ most needed. For the period of relaxation dfter a day's strenuous work, music will do more to rest both body and mind than any other Tneans of recreation. Your children, therefore, should be given the advantage, which very possibly you never had, of learning to play the piano. By means of "that wonderful instrument, the Player Piano, which com- bines both mechanical and hand playing, you can your- self without previous training play and interpret any ~ class of music.
