Loring, pianist amd lecturer, has secured a vast fund of information on Indian mudic from Mving amongst the Sioux tribes in the West, ' In an interview with Musical America. Mr. Loring "gives these sideélights on the music of the Indians, "Although the Indian is a stcie," he said, "his music syfivbolizes every mood, from: the depths of sorrow to the height of joy. In the past, how. ever, little has been known of the real Indian music. Some of our com- posers have used certain Indian themes for their compositions, but they have done scarcely more than scratch the surface, "The Indian is very reticent. He is suspicious of the white man and he does not unbend until he actually knows that the white man is his friend, and is not trying to do him any harm, "When the Indians realized that } was their friend and was willing to makes my home among them, they gradually: became more friendly and helpful. All their legends and songs are transmitted from one generation to another by,word of mouth, but as the younger generations are rapidly ecoming imbued with the ideals of he white men and are paying less attention to their own traditions and ideals, I found that the older men were the ones from whom I had to' get my information, , They were the ones who knew ali the legends and the origin of the songs and .dances. As 1 became better acquainted with them they would hold council meet- ings at which they would tell me of the glordes of their race. Music Had to Be Committed to Paper "I tried to reproduce their songs through the use of the phonograph, but that was net successful, as they looked on the phonograph as some- thing supernatural. A pianc was not looked upon with favor either, so I had to resign myself to jotting down the notes on paper. It made the task much harder, but it was the only way in which I could get an accurate transcription of their music. "Contrary to general supposition, the Indian has a well-defined sense of harmony, His ear is keen and he can detect tho least variation from pitch. At first, in writing down some of the music, I occasion~ ally used what seemed to be a smoother progression, thinking that the Indian myight not be singing the night note, but in humming it over to him, he insisted on the music be- ing written in the way he had sung it to me. "I found that differept tribes among the Sioux Indians in South Dakota had absolute pitch. They would all begin the same songs in the same key and follow through without the least variation in pitch, This was quite remarkable, consid- ering that some of these tribes were separated by more than & hundred miles and did not often come in con- tact with each other. Peculiarities of Indian Music, 'The Indian invariably starts on the highest note of the song and works downward, ending on the low~ 6st note. Most of their songs are in the minor mode. The few that be- €in in a major mode work to the minor towards the end. "Another peculiarity about the Indian songs is the ending. After the song is apparently finished there is a short coda in the dominant re- lative minor. of the key of the song Just finished.' This is a distinctive feature of Indian music, | . 'The Indians also use two rhy- thms in their music. The rhythm ob- tained by beating on the tom-toms is entirely different from the rhythm with which they sing. - I do not know of any other race that com- bines two rhythms Mke this, but it is a characteristic of the Indian." Are Oanadian Children Musical? Ai Are Canadian children as talented musically as European. children? writes Rachelle Copeland in The - Canadian Child, and her answer is, Yes, most assuredly they are. Why then, she asks, has Canadsg produce su tew really groat artists? Why is it-that the musicians engaged for the concert halls both here and in tha United States are almost invariably Luropean, or, if they are native to this side of the Atlantic, they have oem sent to Europe for training? iis state of affairs must be over- come if we as a people are to at- tain the standard of efficiency in the musical world that has been main- tained for years in Europe. For such a long period in strug- gling for the necessities of life that wo have found little time or strength left for the development of the art of music. Comsidering these handi- caps a very excellent beginning has heen made. But now that a stage in dur fational life has been reached | where we can afford the time for ar- tistic development, we must .direct cur energies and let the imagination have full play towards the further- ing of our God-given talents, Every- cne has to some degree an artistic heredity, and we are blessed In the possession of a wonderful country whence to draw inspiration. But unless these natural gifts are fos- tered they weaken and die, For this reason the greatest possibilities He with the children, Curing Insanity Through Musie. Moissaye Boguskwski, a. young professor of piano In the Chicago Musical College, has recently come into considerable prominence through experiments that he made in the Chicago State Hospital for In- sane at Dunning, IIl., the results of which have demonstrated that music is not only a mecessary adjunct to medical science in the cure of nerv- ous diseases, as has long been known, but also that it should be put to some utilitarian purposes in the home ' along with the other necessities of life, : Professor Boguslawski states thai he hecame interested in the effect o* music on the human mind in connee- tion with his work in the Musteal College, where he had ample cppor- tunity to note the effect of different kinds of music on the varied types of human beings who are in dally ellendance a: his classes. Investigation convinced him that music was-bound to have a powerful influence on disease as well as on normal minds. He obtained permis- sion of the authorities to conduct a series of experiments on the inmates of the insane hospital at Dunning. The investigation covered a year. He has evolved a system by which ha believes permanent cures may be at- tained, a belief which he says is con- curred in by the hospital authorities. The basis of his system, hc says, Hes in the fact that music ca: do, in the case of the insane person, some- thing which medigal science has bitherto failed to do, namely, take the patient's mind off the one thing which obsesses him and carry him back to the merhor;' of the days which preceded tlie cause of his par- ticular derangement. Of course, it is necessary to experiment and ob serve the patient during the playing of the music to discover the particu- lar piece which will open the door of the memory, Thus the professor as evolved a repertcire of melodies. These are of four different types: Nursery melodies, "s¢hool songs, 'ro- mantic melodies and national melo- dies, The instances he gives of experi- ments that were made in this way, in an interview with a representative of the New York Herald, are inter- esting and convincing. The professor admits that music alone will not produce the desired effect, but must be combined by the player with a knowledge of psychia- try in ondor that the effect on the patient be properly observed and the condition of thé treatment, the choice of melody and the volume of sound be regulated to suit the in- dividual needs, This is but one more instance of the many uses to which music can be put beyond serving as an aesthetic pleasure for the cultured few.
