In the World of Music and Musicians Grculaliiig High-Class Music Among Masses of the Public * The Work Doing at a Branch of the New York Public Library; Miss Leipzig<er's Good Work Con¬ tinued ; New Funds and Fr«esh Acquisitions By Dorothy Lawton Music Librarian, Fifty-eighth Street Branch Library To any one wishing to read some Mí*» Amy Low»!!'« poems or those of fcdrannd Blunden, who recently won the Hawtbornden prise, or to one investi¬ gating th« Einstein "theory of rela¬ tivity" or the latest points on psycho¬ analysis, the New York Public Library offers a happy hunting ground, either for reference or home reading. Until lately, however, the idea of usking in a circulating library for examples of Ar¬ thur Bliss's songs or tho*e of John Al- den Carpenter, or for illustrations of the orchestration of Stravinsky or the radical development of Schönberg's harmony, would never have occurred to the average New York music lover. Why should this be? Why should the eccentricities of Freud or the eroti¬ cisms of D. H. Lawrence be more ac¬ cessible than the mysticism of Scriabin or the grotesqueries of Satie? Briefly, in an institution designed and claim* ing to keep abreast of the times in all phases of intellectual thought and criticism, why exclude that art which above all others evidences the race's growth ? Progress is ever to the westward. This year marks the centenary of the first free circulating library.the one established in Peterborough, N. H.. where Edward MaeDowcll had his home and where the MacDowell Colony is nowadays fostering much that is ad¬ mirable in American art As America led the world in free libraries, the West has led America in the matter of music circulation. Por many years New York has been shamefully behind the West¬ ern cities in this respect Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, Los Angeles.all have large collections of music for home use. Smaller cities like Detroit and Rochester have im¬ portant collections. In Boston the Pub¬ lic Library has a fine circulating divi¬ sion in addition to the Allen Brown reference collection, and the Harvard Musical Association haß its own library, Special Collection» in New York's Branch Libraries It was originally the intention o* tve New York Public Library to have music collections in all of its branch build¬ ings. The foundations of such collec¬ tions will be seen there still, but. ex¬ cept in the matter operas.which will be found fairly complete so far as the current repertoires are concerned. the library funds have not been suffi¬ ciently liberal to maintain music on a par with other subjects. In several of the branchas, however, the music is very interesting; the Webster branch has specialijsed in Czech music the 135th Street branch, in Harlem, has a fine lot of negro music, Washington Heights recently has acquired certain modern works and St George. R. I. owes it« collection to the Georsre Wil- Ham Curtis family. But for many years has been known to students that the largest and most generally comprehensive collec¬ tion was to be found at the Fifty-eighth Street branch, and borrowers have come there from all over the city, the utter¬ most Bronx and from remotest Brook¬ lyn, from the furthest confinea of greater New York. For this reason Fifty-eighth Street has been made the headquarters of the city's music circu¬ lation. Two years ago a special li¬ brarian was appointed in its charge and to act in a supervisory .capacity kk over the music collections of the H branch system. The credit for having W made so good a foundation on which to build a contemporary collection is due to Miss Pauline Leipziger, for sev¬ eral years chief librarian at this branch. Miss Leipziger, herself a lover of musk, built up a fine music depart¬ ment, which is admirable in the matter of classical and standard composers. She had the foresight to acquire the complete sets which Schirm er used to compile under the intelligent direction of Dr. Theodor Baker. Thus Fifty- eighth Street has not only the entire vocal and piano works of such com¬ posers as Brahms, Chopin, Liszt Tschaikowsky, Grieg, Dvorak, etc.. in the Schirmer sets, but so far as they went at the time of their preparation the complete sets of more modern men, like Strauss, Hugo Wolf, Fauré and Debussy. The city has reduced the library ap¬ propriation until the funds allotted to the branches are not enough to supply Mie demanded fiction. Knowing the hopelessness of the situation and the importance of music for home use for the always growing student clientele, which must depend on the library to furnish the music they are too poor to buy, just it does their books, an ef¬ fort was made to get contributions from a few of the generous patrons of music here in New York. This effort was started about two years ago with a gift of $200 from Miss L. T Bliss. This sum was divided, half being spent here 'for works of native composers, the other half intrusted to a friend of the cause who spent it in London, Paris and Madrid for the works of contem¬ porary European composers. The news that we had this new material, that things by our men of to-day or by Granados, Alben«, d* Falla, Malipiero, Ravel, Ropartz, Stravinsky, Goossens, Bax, Ireland.to choose names at random.were to be had brought SO many borrowers that the music cir¬ culation increased 400 per cent. This shows that there is a demand for music for nome use. Musicians are for the nio&t part too poor to be able to buy rausie to satisfy their euriesity a* to A. what their contemporaries are doing, to indulge their natural desire for music to "read" in order to be intelli¬ gently informed. The Growing Demand for the Scores of Orchestral Music We do not feel that we have made more than a beginning at Fifty-eighth Street in light of the needs of the great musics) public of this city, but with our recent gifts we do feel that we have made a good start and are able in the matter of music to do some¬ thing proportionate to the aims of the Public Library in other directions. The largest sum received for this work was given last spring by Mr. Adolph Lewi- sohn, who contributed $500 to be used for orchestral scores or arrangements of orchestral works. The demand for orchestral scores would surprise one not familiar with the use of music in libraries. There are so many students of orchestration who are too poor to buy these expensive partitur-editions. Besides those who are composers or working students of orchestration are those who can read acores sufficiently well to like to take them to the con¬ certs of symphonic or chamber music. Since another gift of $200 from Mrs, Walter Graeme Ladd was being spent in Paris for French music and the li¬ brarian herself from various gifts was able to obtain a good representation of contemporary British music when she was in London a year ago, it Was de¬ cided not to confine Mr. Lewisohn's gift to orchestral works, but to make it a general representation of contemporary German composers. Only these larger donors have been mentioned, but many persons have helped with smaller suma or gifts of music, and it has all contributed to a growing accession list. So that it is a gratification to tell such music lovera as are not familiar with the Fifty- eighth Street Music Room what it ii now able to offer them. p * Wagner Operas in Miniature Score« And Transcriptions for Pianoforte Thanks to Miss Leipziger, there has always been a fairly good list of th« classics in miniature score. We art now particularly proud to be able t< supply all the Wagner operas in or chestral score, a thing for which then has been great demand. Also the Ri cordi editions of such operas of Verdi Bei o and Puccini as they have is sued in this form. There is the complet output of Richard Strauss in miniatur score, and "Tod und Verklärung," "Do: Juan," "Till Eulenspiegel" and "Helden leben" in four-hand versions, G Scriabin we have "Prometheus, "Poeme de l'Extase" and "Poeme Divin in score, and his piano-works complet Stravinsky's "Petrouschka," "Ross j gnol" and "Sacré du Printemps" i score and in piano arrangement Schönberg's "Pelleas und Melisande ''Pierrot Lunaire." "Gurre Lieder" ar "Fünf Stücke" in score, and the "Gurre Lieder" in vocal score. Of Mahler we have "Dag Lied von der Erde" in vocal score and the symphonies Three, Four, Eight and Nine for four hands, these to supplement & complete set of the orchestral scores promised us as a gift by a friend and admirer of Gustav Mahler. And there is Bekker'a huge analytical volume on the Mahler sym¬ phonies and a new biography (both in German). The Third, Fifth and Ninth (as the most performed) sym¬ phonies of Bruckner to supplement in the popular four-hand form tho small scores we had of his symphonies complete.

* The Work Doing at a Branch of the New York PublicLibrary; Miss Leipzig<er's Good Work Con¬tinued ; New Funds and Fr«esh AcquisitionsBy Dorothy Lawton

Music Librarian, Fifty-eighth StreetBranch Library

To any one wishing to read some oíMí*» Amy Low»!!'« poems or those offcdrannd Blunden, who recently won theHawtbornden prise, or to one investi¬gating th« Einstein "theory of rela¬tivity" or the latest points on psycho¬analysis, the New York Public Libraryoffers a happy hunting ground, eitherfor reference or home reading. Untillately, however, the idea of usking in a

circulating library for examples of Ar¬thur Bliss's songs or tho*e of John Al-den Carpenter, or for illustrations ofthe orchestration of Stravinsky or theradical development of Schönberg'sharmony, would never have occurred tothe average New York music lover.Why should this be? Why should theeccentricities of Freud or the eroti¬cisms of D. H. Lawrence be more ac¬cessible than the mysticism of Scriabinor the grotesqueries of Satie? Briefly,in an institution designed and claim*ing to keep abreast of the times in allphases of intellectual thought andcriticism, why exclude that art whichabove all others evidences the race'sgrowth ?

Progress is ever to the westward.This year marks the centenary of thefirst free circulating library.the oneestablished in Peterborough, N. H..where Edward MaeDowcll had his homeand where the MacDowell Colony isnowadays fostering much that is ad¬mirable in American art As Americaled the world in free libraries, the Westhas led America in the matter of musiccirculation. Por many years New Yorkhas been shamefully behind the West¬ern cities in this respect Chicago, St.Louis, Kansas City, San Francisco, LosAngeles.all have large collections ofmusic for home use. Smaller citieslike Detroit and Rochester have im¬portant collections. In Boston the Pub¬lic Library has a fine circulating divi¬sion in addition to the Allen Brownreference collection, and the HarvardMusical Association haß its own library,Special Collection» inNew York's Branch Libraries

It was originally the intention o* tveNew York Public Library to have musiccollections in all of its branch build¬ings. The foundations of such collec¬tions will be seen there still, but. ex¬cept in the matter oí operas.whichwill be found fairly complete so far asthe current repertoires are concerned.the library funds have not been suffi¬ciently liberal to maintain music on apar with other subjects. In several ofthe branchas, however, the music isvery interesting; the Webster branchhas specialijsed in Czech music the135th Street branch, in Harlem, has afine lot of negro music, WashingtonHeights recently has acquired certainmodern works and St George. R. I.owes it« collection to the Georsre Wil-Ham Curtis family.But for many years i» has been

known to students that the largest andmost generally comprehensive collec¬tion was to be found at the Fifty-eighthStreet branch, and borrowers have comethere from all over the city, the utter¬most Bronx and from remotest Brook¬lyn, from the furthest confinea ofgreater New York. For this reasonFifty-eighth Street has been made theheadquarters of the city's music circu¬lation. Two years ago a special li¬brarian was appointed in its chargeand to act in a supervisory .capacity

kk over the music collections of theH branch system. The credit for havingW made so good a foundation on which

to build a contemporary collection isdue to Miss Pauline Leipziger, for sev¬

eral years chief librarian at thisbranch. Miss Leipziger, herself a loverof musk, built up a fine music depart¬ment, which is admirable in the matterof classical and standard composers.She had the foresight to acquire thecomplete sets which Schirm er used tocompile under the intelligent directionof Dr. Theodor Baker. Thus Fifty-eighth Street has not only the entirevocal and piano works of such com¬

posers as Brahms, Chopin, LisztTschaikowsky, Grieg, Dvorak, etc.. inthe Schirmer sets, but so far as theywent at the time of their preparationthe complete sets of more modern men,like Strauss, Hugo Wolf, Fauré andDebussy.The city has reduced the library ap¬

propriation until the funds allotted tothe branches are not enough to supplyMie demanded fiction. Knowing thehopelessness of the situation and theimportance of music for home use forthe always growing student clientele,which must depend on the library tofurnish the music they are too poor to

buy, just a« it does their books, an ef¬fort was made to get contributionsfrom a few of the generous patrons ofmusic here in New York. This effortwas started about two years ago witha gift of $200 from Miss L. T Bliss.This sum was divided, half being spenthere 'for works of native composers,the other half intrusted to a friend ofthe cause who spent it in London, Parisand Madrid for the works of contem¬

porary European composers. The news

that we had this new material, thatthings by our men of to-day or byGranados, Alben«, d* Falla, Malipiero,Ravel, Ropartz, Stravinsky, Goossens,Bax, Ireland.to choose names atrandom.were to be had broughtSO many borrowers that the music cir¬culation increased 400 per cent. Thisshows that there is a demand for musicfor nome use. Musicians are for thenio&t part too poor to be able to buyrausie to satisfy their euriesity a* to

A.

what their contemporaries are doing,to indulge their natural desire formusic to "read" in order to be intelli¬gently informed.The Growing Demand for theScores of Orchestral MusicWe do not feel that we have made

more than a beginning at Fifty-eighthStreet in light of the needs of the greatmusics) public of this city, but withour recent gifts we do feel that wehave made a good start and are ablein the matter of music to do some¬thing proportionate to the aims of thePublic Library in other directions. Thelargest sum received for this work wasgiven last spring by Mr. Adolph Lewi-sohn, who contributed $500 to be usedfor orchestral scores or arrangementsof orchestral works. The demand fororchestral scores would surprise onenot familiar with the use of music inlibraries. There are so many studentsof orchestration who are too poor tobuy these expensive partitur-editions.Besides those who are composers or

working students of orchestration arethose who can read acores sufficientlywell to like to take them to the con¬certs of symphonic or chamber music.Since another gift of $200 from Mrs,Walter Graeme Ladd was being spentin Paris for French music and the li¬brarian herself from various gifts wasable to obtain a good representation ofcontemporary British music when shewas in London a year ago, it Was de¬cided not to confine Mr. Lewisohn's giftto orchestral works, but to make it a

general representation of contemporaryGerman composers.Only these larger donors have been

mentioned, but many persons havehelped with smaller suma or gifts ofmusic, and it has all contributed to agrowing accession list. So that it isa gratification to tell such music loveraas are not familiar with the Fifty-eighth Street Music Room what it iinow able to offer them. p *

Wagner Operas in Miniature Score«And Transcriptions for PianoforteThanks to Miss Leipziger, there has

always been a fairly good list of th«classics in miniature score. We artnow particularly proud to be able t<supply all the Wagner operas in orchestral score, a thing for which thenhas been great demand. Also the Ricordi editions of such operas of VerdiBei o and Puccini as they have issued in this form. There is the completoutput of Richard Strauss in miniaturscore, and "Tod und Verklärung," "Do:Juan," "Till Eulenspiegel" and "Heldenleben" in four-hand versions, GScriabin we have "Prometheus,"Poeme de l'Extase" and "Poeme Divinin score, and his piano-works completStravinsky's "Petrouschka," "Ross

j gnol" and "Sacré du Printemps" iscore and in piano arrangementSchönberg's "Pelleas und Melisande''Pierrot Lunaire." "Gurre Lieder" ar

"Fünf Stücke" in score, and the "GurreLieder" in vocal score. Of Mahler wehave "Dag Lied von der Erde" in vocalscore and the symphonies Three, Four,Eight and Nine for four hands, theseto supplement & complete set of theorchestral scores promised us as a giftby a friend and admirer of GustavMahler. And there is Bekker'a hugeanalytical volume on the Mahler sym¬phonies and a new biography (bothin German). The Third, Fifth andNinth (as the most performed) sym¬phonies of Bruckner to supplementin the popular four-hand form thosmall scores we had of his symphoniescomplete. In score: Malipiero: "Im-Dressioni dal Vero," "Ditirambo Trá¬gico" and "Oriente Immaginario";Respighi: "Fontane di Roma," "An-tiche Danze ed Arie per Liuto";Gasolin: "Couvents sur l'Eau," "Pupaz-zetti"; Rachmaninoff: "Toteninsel";Moussorgski; "Une Nuit sur le MontChauve"; Liadoff: "Bab» Jaga"; Boro«dine: "Steppenskizzen* (and the lastthree ih four-hand); Sibelius: "Fin¬landia,** "Lemmenkinen's Heimker"cad Fifth Symphony; Weingartner:"König Lear" and "Die Gefilde derSeligen"; Smetana: the "Vaterland"cycle complete; Schreker: "Vorspielzu einem Drama"; Busoni: "Zwei¡Studien -za Faust"; Delius: BriggFair, Dance Rhapsody, Paris, ASummer Garden; Reger: Variationen;Goldmark: "Sakuntala"; Bcroer*s"Trois Morceaux"; Gossen's "FiveConceits"; Jongen: "Lalla Rookh," andTschaikowsky's "Nutéracker" Suite and"Romeo and Juliet," the overtures ofMozart and those of Berlioz and his'Harold in Italy," all these last to fillgaps in our old list.The new Frenen scores include.

A gentleman in Springfield, 111., ob-viously an intelligent musical observer,sends us the specimen of religionshymnology which we p'int below.Music of this character is, no doubt,common throughout the country, espe¬cially in districts where bodies of re¬

ligious sectarians, of which the busyurban world hears nothing, flourish.The molody has no characteristics ex¬cept as are borrowed from the familiartype of negro "spiritual" or the pooreststyle of Sunday school and revivalistsongs. But even commonplace speci¬mens are sometimes entitled to a placefn a collector's cabinet.

My Dear Mr. Krehbiel: I am hand¬ing you herewith a bit of materialwhich I sincerely hope may be oí seminterest and perhaps of use in yeawork in American folk music. I cansint-ï possession of it in this fashiog;About the year 1884 or 1885 a band«!religious enthusiasts came to Sprint?field and conducted a series of raeti-ings in a park. I do not rcmerabethe name of their sect, but oniv tüttthey were Seventh Day Adventista micured by faith. I visited them nan,times with my mother as interestedonlookers, and together we noted til!accompanying words and music

Very truly yours,JOH\' S. STEWART.
