THE OLD SONGS.
While the Chautauqua chorus was
taking its nightly “ practice ” under
the leadership of Director Hallam last
night the familiar strains of one of
the songs of long ago came floating
out of the Chautauqua auditorium,
atuDlng the soft sound waves of even
ing with melody that was refreshing
to the responsive musical ear. Boon
tho sweet strains of another good old
song were heard, and then another,
and still another.
The Chautauqua chorus waB re.
hearsing a medley of old songs, the
collection embracing some of the
"dear old songs our mothers used to
Bing,” and ono or two that the old
time Southern darkles were wont to
sing with unction when they were
happy aEd as care-free as children.
And so wo are led to hope that we
shall hear some of the good old songs
from the big chorus during the ap
proaching Chautauqua assembly.
Welcome change — refreshing Inno
vation, Director Hallam I
One of the greatest mistakes which
tnustclans, as a rule, make In catering
to the public Is In cutting out any,
thing and everything that Is “old”
and continually struggling with some
thing whose chief merit consists of
being ‘'Something new.” What a pity
It Is that as soon as the sweet-voiced
woman learns to sing she quits sing
ing songs and goes Into high squeak
ing notes of modern opera to display
tho range of voice, regardless of the
melody that Is essential to all music
that reaohes the soul and awakens the
higher Impulses of mankind! And It
is much the same with piano players
—mere muslo Is sacrificed for a dis
play of technique.
A song without either melody or
sentiment Is not worth tho singing,
while one that has melody and appeals
to sentiment as well Is a joy forever.
A song that has the merit of melody
and awakens sentimental lmi
and recalls tender associations Is
never “too old” to sing, and If (Bose
gifted with musical voice and skilled
In tho art of music would sing more
'songs and wnrble Iohb in the operatic
notes nbovo, the staff, they would ex.
erelso n better Influence upon society
nnd win more lnurels from the world
at large.
Four years ago, when the reunion
of the Confederate Veterans was hold
nt Memphis, there wns strong rivalry
between Louisville, Atlanta, New Or
leans and perhaps other Southern cit
ies for the privilege of entertaining
the veterans at their next, annual re
union, nnd q song—nn old song sung
by ji woman with a sweet voice—won

between (he cities bidding for the next

song. Wlint wns It? “My Old Ken
tucky Home," And that song appealed
to the sentiment of the old veterans
nnd carried tho dny for Louisville,
Ky„ ns tho place for the next, reunion.
Thero Is power In music, nnd the
songs that stir the soul and appeal to
the precious memories of the past are
the best.
Do give us more of the old songs,
