' - DAWS ONIAN Psi MUSIC THEME Well, said the wise man when asked where music comes from, I believe you should have asked me first where sound comes f1'0l11?-- for music, after all, is simply a special kind of sound. However, there are two kinds of sound, llElll10ly, noises and music. By 11103112-l of our ear sense we are able to distinguish between the sho1't jerky sounds, noises, and the smooth regular sounds, musie. Perhaps you have never known, but the wonderful land of sound is a country so beautiful that we eall it our Magie Kingdom. ln this kingdom are fairies who sing to ns and tell us the stories of the winds, the murmur of the brook, and all the beautiful sounds of the wo1'ld. ln this Magic Kingdom of fairies, and l may also say goblins, for they are always present when fairies are involved, came a man who understood the enchantment of glorious music so well that they adlnit- ted him. This man was Schubert, and it is to commemorate his een- tennial anniversary that the Dawsonian has chosen ll1llSlC for its theme. lt is also eurious to note that while the earliest times produced great writers ot' prose and verse, there were no really great composers of musie u11til within the last three or four hundred yea1's. George Frederick Handel, whose music was designed for the Roman Catholic t'hureh, was tl1e great composer of oratorio with only Mendelssohn as a faint rival. Handel and Bach are often spoken of as the Siamese twins of musie, whose magnificent music will live for- ever. Haydn and Mozart, Germany 's poor peasant boys, who contribut- ed that to the world which it cannot forget. Beethoven, Chopin, Men- delssolm, and Schumann 21115 musical artists who gave us something i1n1no1'tal. Music, without a doubt, is the universal language of 111anki11d, loved, but not thoroughly understood, by the universe. ln fact, it is a strange, mysterious art which has the greatest power of pacifying the emotions of the soul, and bringing endless joy and happiness into tl1c lives of thousands of people. Ve1'y few realize the rapidity with which this art has grown. All over the universe musical organizations have sprung up as if by magic. O1-eliestras, bands, and choruses are found in every staff of life. Schools and colleges now employ music in their courses. The Radio has been a wonderful advancement and means of raising music in its universal appeal. lt can be readily seen that 1nusie's appeal is uni- versal by the musical instruments and inventions found in every home. Because this is the centennial anniversary of our great master of music, Schubert, and also because of our able and loyal musical direc- tor, Miss Lucile Hennigar, the 1929 Dawsonian has chosen music as its theme and dedicated the illllllltll to Miss Lueile Hennigar. -Leone Haskell gg Xgfg Page 9
