iM C V»6YVA n THOMAS E. HUGHES The ultimate end of music is the creation of beauty. True genius is often revealed in the rendering of a simple melody, which, because of its sheer simplicity, touches our deepest and most vital sensibilities. It does not burst upon our consciousness with terrific force — rather we are gently drawn into a moving current of melodious music that seems to have begun nowhere but to have always been with us, so perfectly is it attuned. Gradually we become appreciative of its eloquence, beauty, and signifi- cance, until it seems all-expressive of the life which flows about and be- yond us. It is bright, warm, restful, and contains, perhaps, just a hint of melancholy, expressive of the wistfulness with which wisdom regards the restlessness and impatience of youth. It is a transitional passage of such surpassing loveliness, that until the end of the symphony we must ever lis- ten expectantly for that melody which has quickly and gently ended — for that motif which is never re-creat ed. I. NEWTON RICHER In the midst of tremendous waves of sound that reverberate about us, we find ourselves listening with unconscious absorption to a cleat mist of tone that floats almost inaudibly apart from the massive sonority of the general theme. So completely are we engrossed in the winsomeness of this lovely, lilting melody that all other sounds seem dim and distant — an indistinct background for this bright, refreshing passage. It is a joyous strain that teems with life and the spirit of youth, with interest and ani- mation. There are no dramatic climaxes, but an impelling air of calm and flowing peace. It is blithe and sweet and one feels the freshness of coun- try air and the vitality of springtime. It is a colorful strand that weaves itself thru the intricacies of our symphony and suggests to us the gentleness of strength — the Constance of devotion, and, as it fades into shadowy dis- tance, we are left with the impression that it has gradually and serenely descended into a placid valley, filled with sunshine and contentment.
