Sacred Music Excerpts
By PROF. J. H. KURZENKNABE
After reading the proclamation of
\ Governor Brumbaugh on Commu
nity Singing," s<> ably presented in
the recnt music festival by John C.
Freund, of New York, Professor J.
H. Kurzenknabe, the veteran music
teacher and song writer felt it ap
propriate to open newspaper pub
licity with his lecture on '"Sacred
Music" excerpts from which follow:
"Praise is an important factor in
Christian worship. For centuries the
best music and most eminent musi
cians were of the church and their
consecrated endeavors and influence
added much to the success of the
early Christians. Appropriate music
in the church, participated in by the
entire congregation, prepares pastor
and people for the services and in
spires their devotions. When the
music of the church is intelligently
and devoutly conducted and prelude,
anthems, hymns, postludes and
Scripture readings all have the same
theme, then the service is a unit of
fqrce. one great act of praise. * *
The character of the musical service
for the church seems to be little ap
preciated: the most sacred and in
spiring words are sung to popular
melodies, sentimental songs or ope
ratic airs purely secular in their
association and character.
"Really sacred rrfusic is inspiring
and elevating. Its exalted spiritual
character, its whole influence is re
lining. enobling, worshipful. * *
God has given the voice of melody to
all things that he created and man,
bird, beast, ocean and grove give
back their native hymn of praise.
• There is no medicine for
the disheartened, like appropriate
song; no earthly physician for the
despondent like music. • •
"Music dates back to the very
days of Adam and instrumental ac
companiment to song is as old as
the human race, the patriarchs using
both on festive occasions. • • •
We read of the lyric poets singing
their poems instead of reading them:
orators sang their orations and con
querors were hailed with music and
song, the greatest honors that could
be bestowed by the multitude. • *
David, the "sweet singer of Israel.'
wrote the Psalm to be chanted at
pulilic worship and private devotion,
many of them addressed to the chief
musician, and even to-day they are
the theme of Praise throughout the
Church of God. * * * Solomon
at the dedication of his great Temple
employed 200.000 Levites with trum
pets, harp 3 and other instruments of
music to play and with heart and
voice and instrument in reverent ser
vice there was not a shouting crowd
with out a leader, but the praise of
their souls went up even to the
throne of God. • • •
"In all ages and by all nations
music has been conceded to be a
divine, belonging to worship
• * * and as a national force.
With the new hymnals and wonder
' ful pipe organs, the church of to
day is magnifying public worship. I!
* * * Public schools are taking I
up instruction in music and featur
ing it and in certain community dis- '
tricts live directors are busy at work |
securing up-to-date teachers compe- i
tant to teach music with the other j
branches of education. • • •
The Bible reveals to us that perpet- I
ual music will be one of the jovs i
of Heaven, for St. John the Divine, I
heard at Patnos, the angel harpers j
and the song of the white robed wo- |
men around the Throne. • * •
Patrons of' Music, offering unto the i
Lord the melody of our hearts is j
the most acceptable worship here, j
Let us make life happy with music
and then like Bunyan's faithful Pil- !
frim, enter the ford of the river sing
ing."

BRINGING MUSIC
TO THE MASSES
School and Municipal Co-op- j
oration Aid Greatly in j
Building Up Music
In a recent interview, Reginald J
De Koven said that the greatest!
good any musician can accomplish j
is to make music a pleasurable and
helpfill part of the lives of the mas-1
ses. For that reason he is inclinedl
to consider the popular song a def-j
inito and important feature in mus
ical development. "Perhaps the
popular song is not of a high stand
ard but it plays a large part in de
veloping a latent musical interest,"
he says.
DeKoven's observation leads one
to ask what is being done today to
give the masses mussic. Many civics
are making muics l#vers in a demo
cratic way through the .public
schools. Instead of confining them
selves to the ordinary routine sing
ing in assembly they have separate
and massed school orchestras, chor
al organizations, plans for accredit
ing music studied outside, etc. In'
other places the idea is being carried
out through municipal band con
certs in the parks, civic financial cid
to bands, orchestras, choruses and
such institutions, and the encourage!
ment of all musical program's in I
churches, and concert halls by pub-'|
lie spirited citizens.
The results aimed at are to pro-j
duce the type of person who will j
in later years say with a well-known |
businessman: "Of the many things j
I have done, no other has given me
more pleasure that the fact that I j
learned a little music in my youth J
and kept It up as I advanced in |
years. ' It has never brought me a|
dollar, but there are plenty of waysi
to make m®ney. My bit. of music j
has given me more than money; it (
has been the key that opened manyj
pleasant homes for me and won fox- j
me the friendship of many good peo
ple."

Miss Lillian Reiter, a pupil of
Frank A. McCarrell, will play the

Church to-morrow. Mrs. Ralph R.

Glee Club and formerly director of

order. The Fourth Reformed Church
is located at Market and Sixteenth
streets. The Rev. Homer S. May is
pastor.
Prof. Alfred C. Kuschwa, organist
and choirmaster of St. Stephen's
Episcopal Church, gave a recital on
the new Hall organ in St. James'
Episcopal Church, Lancaster last
Saturday afternoon..
Those persons who attended the
recent Freund community singing
meeting in Chestnut Street Auditor
ium will find interest in the an
nouncement that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Glee Club is to sing in the
Tech High school auditorium Friday
evening next. A program of more
than passing merit is sure to please
all who go.
The organ at the Colonial Theater,
where Harold Booth plays daily for
the pleasure of large audiences, has
been carefully improved by a work
man from the Moller factory. Read
ing recently was after the services of
Mr. Booth, but the Colonial manage

player and he continues his excellent
work.

Kunkel building. 11.30 to 5 daily,
Saturday, 11.30 to 9.
A Sixth street music dealer spoke
of the popularity of the song, "Keep
the Home Fires Burning," the other
day. He said when the composition
first appeared as a Victrola record,
a woman who brought it returned it
after keeping it over night. "I don't
think I like it very well," she said.
In a few days the sales Increased
wonderfully and in a few more days
the woman returned, asking for it.
.The dealer did not have the record,
and the woman is waiting at this late
day for the music she spurned when
it first appeared.
Patriotic selections appear with
cheering frequency on choir pro
grams these stirring times. Perhaps
no more dignified composition than
DeKoven's "God of Our Fathers."
better known as "Recessional," is
employed in the showing of national
fervor. Grace Methodist choir will
sing this composition as its anthem
number at to-morrow evening's
service. At Messiah Lutheran Church
Abner W. Hartman, leader in things
musical but of his choir more par
ticularly, will sing "The American
Flag," arranged by Stearns, as a bass
solo. Another patriotic number
"Gracious Lord, Save the Republic"
with soprano by Mrs. Lee Izer,
will be sung by the choir.
The beauty of the musical writing
of Oley Speaks is known all over the
country. "He has written an unus
ually effective setting of the Psalm,
ist's plaint, "How Long Wilt Thou
Forget Me?" which will be sung as a
contralto* solo by Miss Cassel at
Reformed Salem Church at the
Sunday morning service.
A new organist has been" playing
on the four-manual Moller organ at
the Regent Theater for sev
eral weeks, taking the place
of Miss Marion Merchant, who Is
away on a vacation. The new play
er is John Crist, of Camden, N. J.,
and his work has attracted the fa
vorable attention of Regent theatre
patrons. Mr. Crist played for six
years at a Camden motion picture
house and he brings to the Regent
valuable experience. He plays with
firmness and vigor, his improvisa
tions being especially satisfying.
The popularity of community sing
ing is bound to grow as the days go
by. The war spirit has brought to
the front hundreds of melodies that
are being played and sung in hun
dreds of Harrisburg homes and when
the opportunity offers there scarce
ly can be a doubt but that the com
munity singers will embrace the op
portunity to sing them, especially if
led by band or orchestra, which is a
part of the plan of those who labor
in the interest of the ovation.
The presence at the men's mass
meeting at the Y. M. C. A. of the
vested choir of St. Stephen's Church
will give many the opportunity of
hearing this splendid body of chor
alists who render churchly service at
rtie North Front street church each
Sunday.

MUSIC MORE THAN
ENTERTAINMENT
An Art Equal to Painting and
Sculpture For Those
Who Know
Much depends upon the way one
looks upon music. The average per
son regards it as mere entertain
ment. The child is sent to a music
teacher because it is a distinction to
be able to perform with some facil
ity upon a musical instrument, and
because people are readily enter
tained by the performance. The ob
ject of many a young woman who is
learning to sing is to procure favor
able notice. She wants to hear peo
ple say, "How clever she is," when
the real object of singing is to com
pel people to say, "How beautiful
the music is." Advertisements urg
ing people to "learn to play rag
time In ten lessons" are based upon
the entertainment ideal. If music is
to be merely a pastime, then rag
time is as good as anything, pro
vided the average brain-content of
the company is such as to enjoy it. ]
Music is an art as great as paint
ing and architecture and poetry.
Art is the orderly expression of the
beauty of life. It is the practice
of wondering. The Monks, wonder
ing at earth and heaven, built Lady
Chapel in Litchfield Cathedral. Rem
brandt, wondering at the qualities
of light and shade, expressed them
on canvas. Beethoven, wondering at
hufnan joy, produced the Ninth
Symphony.
Daniel" Gregory Mason in orys of
his charming books tells of the pov
erty of Mozart because he refused to
write in a more easy, popular style.
On one occasion he had no coal, and
lie and his wife were found waltz
ing in their apartment to keep
warm. Mr. Mason continues: "Now
if Mozart could willingly face star
vation rather than lower his ideal
of what good music should be, and
if not only he* but Bach and Bee
thoven and Schumann and Schubert
and scores of others could even
glory in being poor and unknown
and Overworked for the sake of
making music, ought not you and I
to be glad to take some trouble in .
order to appreciate it? Music as
suredly is entertainment, but it Is
something infinitely more. The
Book of Ecclesiastes is entertaining
poetry, but it is also the expression
of a genius who had thoughLlong
and deeply about the wonder oi life.
Good music is far more than a mere
harmonious noise.
