THE ORIGIN OF
YANKEE DOODLE
Recognized as an Hungarian
Melody in Revolution-
ary Days
The present mobilization of
America's fighting forces adds inter
est to what is already an interesting
paragraph from an old copy of the
Boston Post dated July 24, IS3B.
This implies the sugestiou that
"Yankee Doodle" may be a Hungar
ian or at least a European melody: ,
"Kossuth informed lis that the Hun
garians with him in this country
first heard Yankee Doodle on the
Mississippi river, when they imme
diately recognized it as one of the J
old airs of their native land —one
played in the dances of that coun
try—and they began immediately to
caper and to dance as they used to
in Hungary. It is curious that the
same air should be found in old
Biscay. It has been stated, we know
not upon what authority, that the
air of Yankee Doodle is the same;
as that of Lucy Locket, and is as old |
as the time of Cromwell, when it!
was called "Nankee" Doodle. In
the time ot' the old French war
1 1775) when the New England;
troops, commanded by Governor j
Shirley were? encamped with the ;
regular British troops on the Hud-j
son, near Albany, Dr. Shacksburg, 1
a surgeon of the British army, re
modeled the old tune and called it j
Yankee Doodle as a joke in derision!
cf the New England volunteers who |
admired the tune; and it soon be
came a general favorite throughout I
the American camp. It was .nig-'
gested, it is said, by the quaint and
ludicrous appearance of the Ameri
can volunteers as they came into
camp—some in black suits, some in
blue, and some in gray. Some had)
long coats, some short ones, and!
pome had no coats at all. Some of,
them liad long hair, some short,'
and some wore enormous wigs. With!
a great variety of accoutrements,;
they furnished altogether a sood 1
deal of sport for the regular Bri-[
tish troops.

STUDIO
ON SINGING
NO. 10—THE INSTRUMENT
ll> JOHN \V. PHILLIPS
As has been pointed out previous
ly. the voice (the instrument in
singing) is the sounding board of
the human soul; and let it be added,
the voice is a true mirror of the in
ner self. It will reveal more qiwck
ly than actions to the keen listener
and acute observer, the character of
the person speaking. As an experi
ment. hide ten or twelve people be
hind a curtain, and let some one
question each carefully and shrewd
ly and write down impressions. A
well-informed voice teacher, who
had studied voice, voices and people,
would be able to write down some
very truthful impressions. He could
distinguish the sincere, truthful and
heroic, and could also discern the
hypocritical, the false and the cow
ardly. You can never mistake the
voice of a bully—or an egotist.
Timidity, meekness, deceit, flattery,
humility, boldness, simplicity, cour
age. intellect, refinement, courtesy
and vulgarity are all revealed in tin
voice.
The voice of Nature—the wind in
the trees, the surf breaking on the
rocks, the gurgling of mountain
streams and the falling cataracts—
are truthful, they can never be mis
taken—ln music they can be sug
gested. but never duplicated. Or
chestras and bands sometimes at
tempt to imitate a thunderstorm—lt
is only a puny effort and at the best
only suggestive. The sea gull that
haunts the sea coast and is heard
midst surf and mist has the eerie
quality that fits Nature's mood. The
robin's cheerful spring note, the sky
lark's midsummer song all fit into
Nature's gay mood. All these voices
speak truthfully to us.
Mankind has not learned that false
voices are responsible for the tre
mendous setbacks and calamities of
the world —True voices bring joy,
peace and happiness. False voices
tiring misery, strife and sorrow.
Truth In Singing
Singing requires truth just as
much as speaking, so the student
must be taught from the beginning
that sincerity is the first requisite of
the singer. No matter how ordi
nary the instrument, it can be beau
tified, by training the mind to strive
for a more truthful and loftier ideal,
and by influencing the heart to ra
diate sympathy and goodfellowship.
As these qualities grow in the stu
dent they will also come into the
voice. In fact, it is the only way to
get them into the voice.
There was undoubtedly a tremen
dous change for the better in old
Scrooge's voice when he really found
the spirit and joy of Christmas. The
note of happiness in his heart could
only find an audible outlet through
the voice. Reformed men have also
reformed voices. Lack of confidence
in each other is in a large measure
due to the fact that our voices be;
| tray our shortcomings: and some
| how people find shortcomings in
others a live topic for discussion.
The student's voice—no matter
how beautiful—at the beginning, will
have holes, or weak spots in it. The
voice will be uneven and more or less
throaty. The vowels will not be
pure, the tongue will get in the way
of the tone, and there may be many
: more faults to correct. The student
cannot sing a good tone until the
good habits of singing have become
| a part of him. Correct breath con
trol. with vitality in the bellows
I (lung box); relocation of lower Jaw,
I lips, tongue, neck and throat mus
| cles; directing the tone—well pois
ed and focused—well forward and
high in the mouth, are the desirable
: conditions for the production of good
tone. But. that is not enough. The
I mind must be active also in creating
always a deeper, richer, warmer,
more gripping quality; a quality that
interests immediately and absorbs
the attention of the listener. The
] world of vocal art has not yet de
, veloped the full possibilities of the
human voice. If we can get rid of
j the idea of "getting results" and
i settle down to developing singers, a
! great reform will have been accom
! plished. It will stimulate American
I composers to greater effort, and that
is what is needed.
With the many illustrious Ameri
can names in literature, and the
many famous American painters, we
may lav claim to both a school of
i Literature and a school of Art, but
| —we have no distinctly American
I style or School of Music. As I have
I pointed out before, in the article en
! titled "The Under Dog," our fault
I has been in neglecting to recognize
I music as an educational factor in
I our public schools. This should
| have been started long, long ago.
I W.e are weak musically as a nation,
| largely because of this oversight, and
Kwe would have been more poverty
stricken yet. if Europe had not fur-
I nished teachers and models,
j Out of Europe will come changed
voices, chastened and sobered: some
transformed from fear to courage,
others changed from light-hearted
ness to sorrow. The ovices will be
changed because the spirit has been
transformed. This will affect the
whole world. The voice of man
j kind, let us hope, will become the
j voice of justice, peace, happiness and
1 brotherhood. The spirit of religion,
i will be heard in the new tone. The
i spirit of song will take new root.
The new and better voice of man
kind is now in the process of mak
ing. The voice of laughter and song
and faith is on the way, so let us
j be patient until the glad day comes,
j for it is surely coming.

MUSIC TONIC
FOR WORKERS
Gordon Gray Advocates Har
mony as the Antidote
For Monotony
The cryinp need of to-day is for
I more and still more production in
j every tield. Naturally, therefore,
j anyone who has constructive sug
j stations to offer for speeding up in-
I dustry linds thousands upon thou-
I sands of eager readers ancl listeners,
j A simple yet most effective theory
i has been advanced by Gordon Gray,
| well-known writer, for increasing
I production, namely,—that of apply
ing music liberally to work of all
nature. Mr. Gray has great faith
in the assistance music can render
to labor, and justifiably so. In com
menting upon this power of the art,
he says:
•'Pronouncing music an aid to in
dustry, the efficiency fiends have
recommended that manufacturing
concerns engage tuneful artiste
whose stimulating selections will
urge the employee on to the per
formance of herculean labors—the
laborer being worthy of his har
| mony.
"The idea is that when one mixes
! music with work even the plodder
, becomes playful. Too much music
mixed in might mean work mixed
i up, but. on the whole, harmony is
I the antidote for monotony. v
Music Electrifies Employes
i "The musician is the best medicine
j man. and the leader's baton is a
• magic wand. Long may it wave!
"The way to drain off life's drud
; gery is to drink at the fountain of
I melody. Take all you want. Jiu-
I sical inebriation has no harmful
j after effects.
"What the world needs is more
lilting music and less alcohol. Turn
on the phonograph and turn off the
spigots. Give the workers more and
j better bars of music and fewer bars
[ of the baser sort.
"If one has a poor cripple of a
I factory on his hands, such music as
will incite the factory hands to make
merry is the crutch with which to
bolster it up and make it go.
j "The musical world is wide awake
i with interest as a result of the mani
; festo of certain manufacturers an
| nounoing continuous musical pro
i grammes as a pleasant means of
j speeding up production.
"Music has power to electrify the
i laziest employe. Therefore, Mr.
j Manufacturer, if you see bankrupt-
I cy ahead, don't get discouraged; get
j a player-piano, belt it in and build
I up your business.
Why Xot Work to Music
"Music is the dynamic force of
; successful industry. If the strains
; issuing from a brass-throated band
of rooters can work a southpaw up
) to a wild pitch of nervousness, what
! is to hinder real music from arous
' ing lethargic laborers to a high
! pitch of enthusiasm?
"We dance to music, eat to music,
i sing to music; why not work to mu
] sic?
"Work accompanied by music is
never hard. In war it has been
proved that music makes even mur
der easy. Generals screw up the
courage of their men with selections
by the regimental'screwdriver known
as the band.
"Obviously, if music can take the
sweat out of sweatshop, the princi
ple that harmony - makes burdens
light and work easy is susceptible
of wide application."

Demand (or Productions
of Spanish Composer
The influence of Enriue Grana- ■
dos, who lost his life upon the sink
ing of the Sussex, has been perma
nent and far-reaching in its effect
upon the music lovers of the United
States, Judging by observations made
at the Aeolian Company, New York.
Although this Spanish composer
spent but a few months in the
United States, the charm of his com
positions heard in recital or in the
opera Goyescas, presented at the
Metropolitan Opera House during
his stay, was sufficiently powerful to
establish a permanent demand for
his productions.
During the past year the Aeolian
Company, for whom Granados re
corded many of his compositions on
the reproducing piano, has noted
a demand for the works of the
Spanish composer which is no
less general than during the time
two years ago when the composer
himself was here. It is stated that
the popularity of his works is con
tinually increasing rather than wan
ing.
Probably the most desired piece
In point of popularity is the intro
duction to the third act of Goyes
cas entitled "The Lady and the
Nightingale," which is said now to
lead many well known American se
lections among patrons of the re
producing piano.

This has been a notable week for
choir singers, for the Freund meet
ings have been directly aimed at
their aspirations and standards. The
moving spirits in these meetings
have been the choir leaders, notably
Mrs. Wilbur F. Harris, Professor Al
fred C. Kuschwa and Professor
Frank A. McCarrell, to say nothing
of the splendid assistance given by
Mrs. James G. Sanders, of the Pine
Street choir. At the meeting last
evening there were in the audience
such well-known leaders as Mrs.
W. K. Bumbaugh, of Bethlehem Lu
theran choir: Mrs. Edwin J. Dece
vee. of Zion Lutheran; George A.
Ilutman. of Second Reformed; Mrs.
Edwin C. Thompson, of Reformed
Salem; Walter E. Dietrich, of Stev
ens Memorial; Mrs. Phoebe Turner,
of Christ Lutheran. The service
given by Professors Kuschwa and
McCarrell, all for the love of mu
sic, at once refutes the commercial
spirit which not infrequently creeps
into the musical atmosphere to pol
lute and belittle.
In the audience at the Freund
meeting last night was without
doubt a man who had been in his
day the foremost musical figure of
Harrisburg, Prof. J. H. Kurkenknabe,
composer and all around musician.
The reference to him by Dr. Freund
brought forth appl&use which was
as genuine as it was deserving.
Thanks to the genius of this grand
old musician, many beautiful hymns
have found their way into the hym
nal ot almost every church and are
a proof of his loyalty to the good
and beautiful in the art.
It is thought the new organ, be
