Folksong Essentials Much Misunderstood Why' is tho poor, harmless, necessary folksong doomed to he the sub ject of such -persistent and ridiculous misun- j dcrstanding1? The crowd at lare seems to have the proper idea and always rcc- j oni2os one when it meets it. But the wise men ot' music or a large pprccnt- ; ac of them have a way of talking frightful Donscnse when thev undertake j to toll their intellectual inferiors what i the songs of the folk really are. The i ' greater their erudition the more absurd ; seem to be the things they say. Only a few seasons ago there raged a teapot : tempest in this vicinity because some-, some-, body referred to the melodies of ytc-i ytc-i pht'ii Foster as folksongs (and who, incidentally, in-cidentally, was perfectly right in the matter)." The opposition proclaimed that folksongs ''grew up in tho hearts of the people" (delicious phrase!) and that nothing could be a folksong if created cre-ated by some specified individual. Neither Nei-ther pi'.rty succeeded in convincing the other, though to any clear-thinking being be-ing r.ho odds were all one-sided. The other day at the music, teachers' convention more foolishness on the subject sub-ject was dispensed. Louise Haessler, assistant professor of German at Hunter college, took upon herself to enlighten an audience of pedagogues and informed them at the outset that "prevailing opinions of what a folksong is are mistaken mis-taken and that many do not eve"h know what a folksong is." From some of the things she said in the course of her address ad-dress one ventures to believe that Miss Haessler might with reason include herself her-self in that category. "Folksongs," she declared, "are of two. kinds, those produced by the people and those produced pro-duced by the poets, composers, etc. The latter is really the art song. If the singer seeks to give the interpretation that the composer has in mind the song is described as an art song." Pursuing Miss Haessler 's reasoning to its logical conclusion, we take it that if a singer distorts Schubert 's ' 1 Am Meer" or " Du bist die Buh" they become be-come folltsou.es. Of if Silcher'e "bore-lev" "bore-lev" and Foster's "Old Folks at -Home" are delivered strictly in accordance accord-ance with the printed page they have attained the dignity of artsongs. Yes, Miss Haessler speaks the truth many do not even know what a folksong is. For the enlightenment of all such we give herewith Dr. Kiemann's unassailable unassail-able definition: "A song is called folksong folk-song which fias either sprung from the people i. c., of which poet and composer com-poser are no longer known or which has been adopted by the people, or, finallv, which is in the folk vein easily irrasped in melody, simplo in harmony. 1 And on our own part we would add that a singers performance does not change the folk nature of the song itself in the leastMusical America.
