STUDIO
ON SINGING
NO. B—RESONANCE
By JOHN \V. I*IIII,MPS
A few years ago there appeared
in Orchestra Hall, Chicago, a com
pany of English singers: King Ed
ward's Coronation Choir, of which,
of course, great things were expect
ed. One of the soloists was a big
broad-chested fellow at least an
inch or two over six feet tall. AVe
expected from him one of those deep, I
thundering bass voices that rattled |
the windows, and we prepared to j
move back out of range. He tired be-j
fore we could bestir ourselves. Butj
instead of a 14-inch gun he sounded!
like a toy pistol. He was a counter)
tenor —Our guess was counterfeit j
tenor. His tone was light, throaty j
and absolutely without resonance.
And yet, we are told, the congrega
tions of the English Cathedrals, de
light in this insipid, unmanly efllem
inate voice. A voice without reson
ance has little or no value.
Another singer, a baritone, wasi
heard in another concert hall some
years ago. He was programmed to
sing Sargent's "Blow, Blow, Thou
Winter Wind." He was a big healthy
looking fellow and we were all eyed
up for the opening "Blow." Instead
of a winter blow it sounded like a
summer zepljyr. He had no reson
ance whatever, and so was notj
equipped to sing anything like the,
song he hat! chosen.
The matter of resonance is ex
ceedingly important and so is worthy
of special study.
The \ocal chords are a fixed prop- j
osition. They cannot be changed
except by a surgical operation. The
vocal chords are not trained in sing
ing: but the singer is taught how to .
play on them. In the realm of vio- i
lin playing, the instrument does not j
change, it is the player that changes: '
that gains control and draws out (
more beautiful tones. The hollow j
body of the violin may be termed i
the resonating chamber, to reinforce|
anil enrich the tone.
in voice, there is chest, throat j
and head resonance.
Cliest Resonance
It is the chest resonance that many j
ultos resort to. Chest voice can be
carried down with certainty and I
more or less power; and is the |
easiest way. But it does not blend .
with the upper voice and the result j
is what is known as a "break." Chest!
resonance, let it be said, has no ar- i
tistic value, and chest voVe is harm- !
ful rather than helpful. Throat
resonance Is confined to such a small !
area of space, and is so far remov- [
ed from an outlet that its value is i
very little. I
MORE MUSIC FOR HARRISBURG
THE CITY OF
Mrs. Sanders Tells Civic Club She Has Never Known City
of lis Size With as Many Good Musicians
The following paper of timely in
terest was read before the Civic j
Club of Harrisburg Monday after
noon by Mrs. James G. Sanders,)
chairman of the general committee
of the Community Singing Move
ment in this city. Mrs. Sanders is
the wife of the State Zoologist and
came here more than a year ago from
Madison, Wisconsin, where she was
a member of the faculty of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. Mrs. Sanders
spoke of "What Music Means to Us
as a Nation, as Well as to Our Own
City," as follows:
"There never hfis been in the his
tory of our nation a time when mu
sic was such a potent factor. The
leaders of our Army and Navy real
ize the tremendous value of music.
Hence the establishment of chorus
The most valuable resonance for
the singer therefore is that which
is directed into the head cavities,
which includes the mouth, cheek,
nasal and frontal cavities. For the
sake of making the idea of resonance
more clear, we may say that a rich,
resonant voice is made up of many
particles of tone. Actually the idea
is reverberation. A thin voice can
bo made full and resonunt by taking
advantage of the many resonating
cavities. As the student gets the
idea, and the voice gets firmer and
better direction, the particles are
added. By and by more and more
are added until depth and resonance
is attained. Musicians term these
particles, harmonics or partials; but
our effort is to help the layman as
well ;4s the student.
Now. bone is the only substance in
the human body that will transmit
resonance. It is porous, and varies
greatly in this respect. Bone varies
in hardness or softness and there
fore resonance is affected more or
less by these varying qualities.
The nasal bridge includes the
bridge of the nose, and the cheek
bones, and the hard palate. The
hard palate is the sounding board of
the voice. If the tone is directed
firmly against the frontal hard pal
ate. the resonance will be felt
throughout the nasal bridge.
A Mistaken Ideal
Here is where many teachers and
singers get the mistaken idea that
they must §ing into the nose. The
subject has been much discussed,
and yet the solution is simple. A
powerful breath stream sending tho
lump- well poised, against the roof
of the mouth, well forward, will
bring about a decided feeling of res
onance even as high as the frontal
cavities in the forehead, but that
does not mean you are to direct
your tone into the forehead. Words
are formed with the lips, tongue and
teeth —all forward —Tone therefore,
should flow forward through the
mouth —so that there will be a hap
py uniting of tone and word. It Is
a foregone conclusion that you can
not make words with your nose, so
it is foolish to try and sing through
your nose.
lireath control, well developed,
controlled and directed, will propel
tone in such a way that resonance
and richness must result. The most
beautiful voice—resonant, free, rich
and sincere. It has a quality that
grips and interests, and it is possible
for both speaker and singer.
singing in the camps. Judge John
M. Patterson says, The fate of a
planet hangs in the balance. To take
away our songs and plans would be
helping the Kaiser.'
"I suppose it will surprise almost
I everyone present, to know that this
! country spends each year more than
I six hundred million dollars on all
i forms of music, not including mu
} sical comedies. These statistics
j were compiled by Dr. John C.
I Kreund. editor of Musical America,
in collaboration with the Associated
| Press. This statement was made
public only after a thorough inves
' tigation of this subject. This amount
| covers the purchase of musical in
struments. the cost of musical edu
j cation and all musical activities.
| America is in this way spending
| more money on her musical interests
than all Europe. These are facts to
i be digested slowly, and thoughts
I which we should ponder, for music
i will play a great part in the future of
; our nation.
i "About a month ago I had the
i pleasure of listening to a most in
! teresting address by our own Oover
| nor Brumbaugh, before an agrlcul
' tural convention in this city, and the
I thought impressing me most in his
talk was this, 'that after this aw
ful world conflict is at un end, the
i world will look to America for its
higher educational advantages.' The
universities of Kurope will he crip
| pled because of the loss of man
| power, including many educational
| leaders. Then If to this country the
! world will look for academic train
j ing, certainly it will be true that
musical education will also be sought
within our shores.
I "Ladies, if this situation is im
-1 pending, then it is our duty to be
| ready, to be organized and equipped
for work. To this end, there has
been recently organized a body,
! known as 'The . Musical Alliance of
1 the United States." The purposes of
| this organization are:
"First. To demand full recogni-
I tion for music, and for all workers
! in the musical field and musical in
' dustries, as vital factors in our na
i tional, civic and home life.
"Second. To work for accredited
| efficiency in music in the public
I schools. '
"Third. To favor a national Con-
I servatory of Music, and to urge that
I a department of line arts be estab
lished in the national government,
and a secretary of fine arts be a
member of the President's Cabinet.
"Ladies, this organization is but
an infant of three months, yet the
membership of this body is over
1,200, representing over 140 cities.
"With an annual investment in
i one industry of over six hundred
j million dollars per year, it is an evi-
I dent fact that the musicians of
these United States should have rep
i resentatlon at Washington. To this
! end all cities should throw aside
! their heavy shades of conservatism,
1 and awaken to the needs of the
! nation, and. certainly, of their own
city.
More, Not Better Music
"In Harrisburg, we need more mu
: sic. not better music. 1 have lived
| both East and West and I have never
j known a city of this size to have as
! many good musicians. The class of

establishment of a high standard.
To me the most deplorable situa
tion in the musical life of this city,
is the lack of support given to mu
sical organizations, some of which
are of the first magnitude in 1 lie
musical world of this country. When
I came to this town about" a year
ago. my husband and I attended a
concert by the New York Symphony
Orchestra. I attended again this
year, and on both occasions, the hall
was about half full. Ladles, T was
shocked. There is'something wrong
with a community that will not'sup
port one symphony concert in a
year. 1 have been told that many
Harrisburgers go to New York to
feast their inclinations in this line.
That is a beautiful privilege, it is
also your right, but is there anyone
who can satisfy their thirst for the
best in music or art by attending a
few musical events or art exhibi
tions in a season?
"Then. foo. there is another side
to this situation. We must support
the attractions we are fortunate
enough to stet in Harrisburg. Go to
Now York, and hear all that you
wish in a musical way, but it is
also your duty to attend the musical
attractions of your own city—for if
by your lack of patronage of local
musical events, these features can
not be continued, then you deprive
your townspeople of a privilege that
should be theirs. People want mu
sic, and they will have it, of one
kind or another. So they go to the!
store and buy trashy records of the I
latest, ragtime, hit—thus their taste!
is left to be formed by themselves,!
and their taste is bad, because they]
have not fc jen educated to like bet-:
ter things. Mr. Werrenrath says, I
"This country is turning from a na-j
tion of Jazz bands and cabarets toi
one that demands good music."
The influence of music can not be'
discredited. It sometimes gives I
courage, it sometimes soothes—for
surely we must all realize that there
is no influence so great in its rela
tion to man. as music. Certainly
music ranks next to Christianity,
and as a unifying element, there is
nothing comparable to it.
Ive of Good Music
"Another phase of this situation
is, that people should be taught to
live good music. I believe that the
time will come when the character
istic music will not be ragtime. I
People abroad know us best by ihis
terrible class of music. Rabbi Jo-!
seph Krauskopl", of Philadelphia,
says. "We never needed music more
than at the present time. It makes
us go to our duties all the better —
all the stronger."
"Managers tell us that "Harris- 1
burg, is dead, that it is a losing gamel
to bring anything good to this citv."j
"Last year we had the San Carlos
Opera Company for several perform-j
ances. This year they would not
come to us. because we would not
support them. In this company we
had several of the principal singers,
but not all: likewise we had several
understudies. They sang us good'
music, and to familiariae oneself;
with the best music is always worth j
while, for it adds to our culture, and
what would life be without culture?
However, we can remedy the situa
tion just stated. We can and must
support these' musical attractions,
and then demand the best. Other
cities have demanded the full value
of their money—so can we.
"To awaken Harrisburg in things
musical, and to start our campaign
for Community Singing in this ejtv,.
we have extended to Dr. John C.
I' reund, Editor of Musical America,
and President of the "Musical Al
liance of the Fnited States," an in
vitation to visit our city, and help
launch this movement. It gives me
great pleasure to announce that Doc
tor Freund will be with us on April
3, 4 and 5, at which time he will
give us several addresses. There
isn't a man in this country who has
done more to better the standard
of music than this wonderful author
and patron of music. Just now we
feel that we have a big undertaking,
for as yet we are without any finan
cial backing, and we are still look
ing for a good fairy to finance this
project. This campaign is backed
by the Chamber of Commerce, the
Wednesday Club and the School
Board, which has granted us the
use of the Technical High School
for our Community work. We have
also the patronage of the press, of
cials of the city and state, also the
musicians of Harrisburg. To-day I
ask your support for this movement.
A propaganda, of like interest was
recently launched In Scranton with
wonderful results, and so it has been
the experience of every city visited
by Doctor Freund. It is splendid,
indeed, that Harrisburg is to have
the privilege of hearing this dis
tinguished disciple of music. He is
a speaker of tremendous force, and
in every city is a .most notable guest,
where many honors are always ex
tended In appreciation of his valu
able services.
"Doctor Freund is seventy years
of age. and receives no compensation
for his services. His mission is for
more music of a higher standard,
and to this purpose we beg that you
give us your utmost support."
With Choir and Organist
There will be special music in
nearly every Harrisburg church to
morrow, Palm Sunday. The princi
pal solo numbers will be Faure's
wonderful setting of "The Palms,"
Henry Parker's "Jerusalem" and
Charles Gounod's "There Is a Green
Hill Far Away." The anthems will
be of a festival character. "Hall,
Gladdening Eight," Shaw's joyfui
setting of the Scriptural exclama
tion. will be sung by the Pine Street.
Presbyterian choir, at the evening
service. This beautiful composition
has an uplifting counterpart in the
setting by John T. Field, whose "God
Shall Wipe Away All Tears" is an j
ever appropriate Passion Week
number.
In several churches Faure's "See
Now the Altar" will be the anthem
number, notably at Grace Meth
odist. Christ Lutheran and Second
Reformed Churches. At Market
Square Presbyterian Church the
choir selection will be from Stanier's
"Crucifixion," the grateful setting of
the Apostle's words, "God So Loved
the World." In the evening Red
head's "The Story of the Cross" will
be the anthem. At St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church the choir of forty
voices, with Alfred C. Kuschwa, or
ganist and choirmaster, directing,
will sing Maunder's wonderful mu
sic, "Olivet to Calvary" at the eve
ning service. "Come Unto V'lc" fori
baritone and chorus will be sung in
the cantata, the soloist being Clar
ence If. Sigler.
"The Palms" will be sung at the
following churches: Salem Reformed,
soloist, Charles Cassel; Christ Lu
theran Church, soloist, Mrs. Phoebe
Turner: Pine Street Presbyterian
Church, soloist, George Sutton; Sec
ond Reformed Church, soloist, El
mina Sweigert: Messiah Lutheran,
soloist, A. W. Hartman; Bethlehem

Away."
With the first Sunday in April
there will be a new organist and
choir director at Westminster Pres
byterian Church, the present di
rector, Robert Smith, retiring after
several years of faithful service and
relinquishing the duties because of
tile demand war conditions are mak
ing upon all railroad men. An ef-1
fort will bo made to organize a choir i
tor this West End church, one that
will be enthusiastic and efficient. It I
has been arranged to have Mrs.
