Even today in the secluded mountain region, grandmothers knitting in rocking chairs, parents at work, and children at play, still sing the old ballads. With the growth and devel- opment of our country, a mu- sic truly American, embodying the soul of countrymen in every corner of America began to be. In the north and along the Atlantic seaboard the stirring, sometimes melan- cholic, sometimes gay sea Chanteys resounded above the dashing waves. On the rocky slopes and goldbearing hills the sweating, struggling miners bewailed their bad luck or cheered themselves with their work songs On the westerr plains the watching eowbovs developed their own music Their patietic laments such as, 'Oh Bury He hot n The Lone Prairie still stir our hearts and bring to us a vision of the days when the West was young And these same songs are anonf the few example of real folk music of America In the south the darkies tolling under the merciless un san their pleainv spilituals and ave us another group of fell songs lhei voices Ja t naturally in harmony xould rise in sac beauty Their nu sic leavy yet sometimes with Hai and rollicking rhythm nroved to be a great contribution American music AS interest in music grew names of certain composers of American music began to e merge the nineteenth century two of the most out standing composers were Ste phen Poster who gave those pictures ue songs of 15 the South, and Edward Mac- Dowell, who is honored with the title of the greatest American musi- cian.

Also in this century, Dvorak composed the uNew World Symphony,u the greatest ever inspired by our country. During the twentieth century many other names have sprung into promi- nence as certain compos- ers' works have won public favor. Sousa's, HStars and Stripes Foreverng Rom- berg's nDesert Song and uStudent Prince Kern's HShowboat Nevin's uRosa Carrie Jacobs Bond's nThe Perfect Day and U ust hear n' For You and finally Irving Ber l1n's pieces such ' oo Bless Ameri a are among recent American con positions which have had popular appeal Now trere is a trend for the music of America, which begun its life among the humble work songs oi the people to return again to the people Uitr the invention of the phono graph and mo e recently of the radio, music has oeen carried to people in eJe y corne the country Since its first initiation in the public school school orchestras bands, and glee clubs have been formed Uisic is nrevalert throughout modern life and is no longer considered 1 novelty for the few but somethin engoyed by and available to everyone T 1 Xl . .
