What Critics Say of Negro Song and Music "The mimical art of tlve negro should be welcomed! encouraged and cultivated in this country for the great thing that it is. if America had produced no other music she would have made a significant contribution to the art of the world." —O.iit Dow no*. "In the presence of ninny well known musicians and representatives from the entire New York musical press, unbounded enthusiasm was aroused when the orchestra struck up the strains of the fascinating rythms of 'Swing Along.' Mr. Cook's work adds a new territory to the musical geography. A comparison with the work of another man, who bus done a similar service to his race, becomes obvious when we look aa Air. Cook's masterpiece, his 'Kxhortation.' Those familiar with the peasant songs, the, operas, and the human character songs of the great Russian, Mous scrg>ky, will realize the striking parallel that exists, although in io different manner. What Moussourg sky has done for Russia, in faithfully noting down the idions of the Rus sian peasant—its orphans, its lay priests, its mothers and children, has been accomplished by Cook for his people. He not only has performed a lasting service to "his race, bu.t in trinsically enriched the entire musl | cal world."—Kurt S. Mehindler. "After profound study of the sub ject And deep research, I have come to the conclusion that the negro melodies arc thp Cradle of American music. The negro melodies are the [real inspiration of the American I composers."—Giaconio Minkowsky. "The negro in this country has a message—a message that sings the stiuggie of a race from darkness in to light. An unexpected force for the better understanding between whites and blacks has been liberated in this conscious admission of the negro into our musical life. If any thing can bring harmony from the present Mashing of the two races during this difficult period of prob lem. it might well bo the peace giver —music. In listening to these better works of Mr. Cook, one Involuntarily recalls Shakespeare's words": 'This above all. to thine ownself he true.' It is truth to his rare that stamps Mi*. Cook as another of the pioneers in the Artistic efforts of the negro, lifting his work beyond an expression of musi cal talent alone, and making it pro phetic of a larger development of tin* negro people in music."—Natalie Cur tis. "Interest remains unabated in these Folk-songs. There is no danger that the songs will he lost N<> race has given expression to better varieties of emotions by means of songs. \ Folk-song is not a 'popular'- song, but a song of the folk: not only the song adtulred by the people, but in a striM sense e song created by the people, FolK-songs are born, iiiit made." —11. hklwurd Krehhlel. "And so. by fateful chance, the negro Folk-song stands to-day not siniplv as the sole American music, but* as the most beautifully expres sion or human experience, born litis side of the. sea*."—Dr. \\\ K. 13.
