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 tho day Tor Louisville, The rivalry between (he cities bidding for the next reunion wns running lileh, nnd at n point In the proceedings when It seemed thnt thero wns nbout to bo a scene of confusion, Gen, Gordon led a young wnmnn to the front of the pint- form. rnlsod hls’hnnd to attract atten tion nnd command silence, nnd an nounced tlmt tho young Indy would favor tho veteran with n song. And she snng a song—nn old, familiar 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.
