I THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 7, 1913. I I ill I 1 MiEncourage Americans If as Instrumentalists r' Not only have the officers and directors of tho local musicians' union Riven the necessary permission to enablo members of the "Salt Lake Philharmonic orchestra to Blvo their Initial concert of the -season at tho Empress theater on the afternoon of Sunday, Docember ll, but thoy have sent a gominunlcatlon to the or-chostra announcing: unqualified approval of Its efforts and promising tho union's hearty support. I There Is now boimr promoted In the United States a propaganda having for Its object tho encouragement of American citizens as instrumentalists, with a view to obviating the necessity for Importing Instrumental talent from abroad. Thin object Is being sought by the National Federation of ZUusicIans, and the gait Lake local is enthusiastically seconding the offort made by tho national organization- In respect of tills ontorprlalng and patriotic movemont un interesting article appeared In a recent Issue of tho International Musician. It Is written by Glenn blllard Gunn, and Its observations are (particularly applicable to the efforts now Wng made by tho Salt Lako Philharmonic orchestra, supported by tho local 'musicians' union and music patrons of the city.

A pnrt of the article follows: i With ono exception every great symphony orchestra in this country ir composed of American citizens, Thanks to tho wise action of the musicians' union, it Is no longer posit' sibie to import orchestra players fc wholesale. Any foreign musician do-l siring to become a. momber of an Amecan orchestra must first dc-kclare his intention of becoming a p- citizen of the country. This rule Is gradually effecting the Amcricanlza-h tlon of all our orchestras. Since its adoption the influx of foreign mu-c'-siclnns has noticeably decreased.

Na-live Americans, whoso training lias tvbeen received in this country; are ft beginning to take their places, Even the conductors are not all In tithe class of the European star who ivsojourns awhile with us for profit. ItMen like Damrosch In New fiTork, Frederick Stock in Chicago. pCarl Busch In Kansas City, Emil KOberhoffer In Minneapolis, and fvZach in St Louis, though of foreign birth. have obtained their training rMind their experience as conductors in ft this country, and therefore may be tfcalicd American musicians. Henry EK.

Hadley of tho San Francisco oris cbeetro is a native of this country. fi-Another decado will sec us still advanced toward musical Inde-B'pcndiiicc toward that position iljBfcartlstlc self-sufficiency which should t.lio ambition of every musician lives and works in tnis coun- Boston is the only city that con-wry(inues to support an -orchestra jHCavowedly foreign. There were a few iMim-k Americans in it before Dr. Karl Muck iY: resumed his position as conductor last season, but ho then replaced them with foreigners. iMombcrs of tho Boston orchestra do not 'belong to the union.

The organization is, in iacl. the privato property of an American of great wealth, who scorns to be opposed to unions. This season Dr. Muck will brim: with him from Eu- rope two first violinists, two horn players and a harpist. In this connection It may be obr served that isolation is not always an advantage.

Last spring the orches-) ira's single harpist. TTuinricli Schru- ecker. died suddenly. Then came a sad dilemma Since It Is a non-t union orchestra, no competent harp-l 1st could bo engaged in this, country to fill the place. For three pairs of concerts tho orchestra was harps' less.

Piano and celesta made un-b substitutes for tho Instrument In an Important symphony by Mahler, and In arranging his pro- irgranime in celebration of the "Wag- J.

Concerts have been arranged by local managers for tho Minneapolis, Philadelphia and Cincinnati orchestras, and tho management of the Chicago orchestra announces that the Tev York Philharmonic, the country's oldest symphonic body, will visit them in the spring. Such concerts have proved interesting In tho past aa affording opportunity for a comparison of standards, but our actual musical needs arc so well served by the -resident orchestra that they have, added little to the sum of tho season's progress. Could these orchestras como to us oftoner they could bring us slight variation on the season's repertory. Mr. Damrosch will present in New York "programmes that will range from Bach lo the latest offerings of BIgar and Debussy.

Mr. Stock may substitute Heger for JSlgar and Schonberg for Debussy. Mr. Ober-hotYer will specialize in Strauss for tho moment. Mr.

Slokowsky has discovered an enthusiasm for Korngold, and Dr. Muck perhaps will continue to offer Boston the works of Mahler in place of the compositions of the new French school, which that city most admires at present- But a glaricc over the country's' symphony programmes would be enlightening to the average music lover of Berlin or Vienna, where tho conservative spirit still Is sufficiently powerful to make the extensive production of novelties aomewhat hazardous.

Music for Hindu Lyrics, Rablndraneth TaRoro, tho great Hindu pool, who has Just won tho Nobol prize for literature, Is essentially a slngor, rather than a writer or versifier. According to William Butler Yeats, who llrst Introduced him to ocqldentals, -Ta-goro's "Gltanjall" cannot be understood or appreciated unless they arc suiir. In the poet's native land, where ho 1h known an tho "Soul of India." they arc sung by peoplo of all c.laSfs; men chunt thorn at village gatherings; women croon them to their ones: troubadours sing them at 1 the courts of princes, and laborers hum them uh they toll in tho fields.

While, tho spirit of these songs Is simple and universal, the tunes to which they arc sung In India would tiound strange Jmd Incomprehensible to American ears. For which reason. If we occidentals sing them It will be to occidental melodies. 'I'm gore himself hns translated tome of his poems from tho original Bengali: now he must look to our componet'K for the molodlcn.
