Show Music Music EXPRESSES THE SENTIMENTS and emotions of man. The kind of music one appreciates depends upon the sentiments and emotions by which one is moved, and the degree to which these sentiments are developed. In the past four or five years there seems to have been a degeneration of musical taste due to the fact that the country has been flooded with cheap, unrefined music. While the students of Weber have been greatly affected by the cheap music of today, yet there have been great forces at work striving to maintain the high degree of musical appreciation that has existed at the college for a number of years. Approximately fifty per cent of the students are or have been actively engaged in the study of music in glee clubs, band and orchestra, and private instruction. The students' own organization, "The Music Arts Club," which was organized in January, is one of the most potent factors in creating a love of fine music. Their program has called for sixteen weekly meetings at which the students and a few of the city's musical leaders have presented high class music in the most interesting manner. The sacred cantata, "The Martyrs," from the pen of Evan Stephens, and presented by the students, did much to engender a desire for religious music. The frequent recitals of the school of music, and the presentation of scones from "Faust" and "II Trovalore." In pupils of W. H. Manning have been very successful. Yet much more encouragement should be given to music, one of the finest arts of society. More should be creators of good music, and fewer, passive listeners. |
