Foux-soncs or Easrerw Evrorr have been too much neglected owing to the difficulty of singing the words of so many strange languages. ‘The desire to bring some of these songs within the reach of the English speaking public may perhaps be sufficient excuse for what at first sight appears to be the impertinence of providing these melodies wich new words, ‘The reason for s0 doing is that very few of these old melodies are found accompanied by words as old as themselves, Most of then are sung to words put to them in the nineteenth century. ‘These words are only occasionally suitable to the music; in most cases they are commonplace; sometimes they are vulgar. ‘As an authority for the liberty taken in putting new words to old songs, I may quote the example of Beethoven, who in his Iriscke Lieder has set the words of a German poem to the melody of The Last Rose of Summer, Therefore, in dealing with many of the songs, I have asked the friends who have written verses for me to be guided solely by the inspiration of the melodies. There are a few exceptions to this, such as the Greek song: O let me wander; and the Finnish song, Sweetheart, in which the general meaning of the words found with the melodies has been followed because the thought and the feeling of them seemed suitable to the music. ‘The words found with these melodies in the nineteenth century are often as unsuitable and have as little to do with the real suggestion of the music as is the case with the Scotch and Irish songs, which Moore and others of his day degraded by the alterations they made in the music, and the verses to which they then set the altered melodies. It is even more difficult to escape the fatal influence of che nineteenth century in the case of the mel- dies than in the case of the words. Tampering with the melodies, as emendators have done with Greek texts seemed to be out of the question; the only way to exclude a disturbing element seemed to be to reject those melodies which showed the effect of a later time. As is well known, the Romanticists of Germany, Herder and the Schlegels among them, drew the attention of the cultured world to the beauty of the naive poetry of many nations which a stilted class- icatism had neglected. In England, similar work was done by Bishop Percy and Sir Walter Scott. ‘Men again began to see the beauty of the more primitive poetry and music which we now call Folk- poetry and Folk-songs. These names are appropriate not because the songs were written by a Folk — Poems and songs being always the work of an individual — but because they were adopted by a nation or a part of a nation, as the expression of its mind, and preserved by it, because they gave voice 10 its deepest emotions, and were played upon its heart strings, ‘The greatest poets and musicians have qualities which make their work akin to such primitive art. Smaller and more superficial artists are lacking in such qualities anc! on that account fail to receive the ‘consecration of the centuries. ‘Young people should be brought up on the simple Folk-songs which have received such consecration, and on the works of the great composers. An education founded on the best music down to the timeof Beethoven, and on unspoilt Folk-songs might build up in the young such unconscious canons of taste as would save them from the enticements of much modern music. For modern music, alas, often expresses either the vulgarity of our cities, or the superficial intellectualism of the cultured in its attempts to depict external actions instead of expressing the emotions which result from such actions, cor which are the cause of them, ‘The books to which this selection is chiefly indebted are those by Yedlichka, Kaldy, Rimski-Korsakoff, Balakiref, Kuhac and Berggreen. Almost all of these are to be found in the British Museum and in the great public libraries of New York and Boston. It remains for me to thank those who have helped me to collect these songs,— the selection of which ‘was made from several thousand, — those who have written verses to be sung to them, those who have sung them so many times to me. ‘The copyright of the words of The Linden ‘Tree and of The World is ever at June, are the property of my friend, Mr, Martin Schutze, Rayk Radititfe Whit chengBowen do.
