It is a spontaneous participation, through performance or listening, in the most democratic of the arts. It is a seven'day "drive" by the friends of music, to make more widespread the enjoyment of music by the general public, and to extend the recognition of its value as an individual and a community asset. MUSIC WEEK BEGINS ANNUALLY THE FIRST SUNDAY IN MAY The keynote of the observance of music week this year, which began yesterday, is "Support group activities." It is a theme to be had in mind all the year around, for it is by the group activities in music that the appreciation of and humanizing influence of music may be impressed most on the community. It also encourages music in the home. A home where good music is familiar to all members of the family will be a home sending out into the world well'adjusted young men and women. It will not be a home contributing to the nation's juvenile delinquency problem. The Little Falls Symphony Orchestra has been in existence twelve years, and has done a big job in the promotion of good music not only in the city, but throughout this section. Although its budget is extremely modest, for the players and conductor give their time so that concerts may be given free to the public, the contributions this year have not been quite sufficient to meet the needs. Further help at this time would be very welcome. I AM MUSIC "Servant and master am I; servant of those dead, and master of those living. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. * * * I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. * * * I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open I stand nearby. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers, and through me the dead whisper to the living. * * * One I serve as I serve all; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. * * * I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the best that is in them; and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them; and they are of me. FOR I AM THE INSTRUMENT OF GOD." I AM MUSIC On Wednesday evening, May 15th, at Methodist Church Auditorium, a Harp and Organ recital will be given under auspices Emmanuel Church Choir. Melville Clark, international harpist, and Alice Byers, organist, featuring new model Hammond organ. LEON M. DUSSAULT, Conductor First Violins— Violas .
