Show Should Edify as Well as Entertain i Squire Coop, musical director of the Salt j Take Oratorio society, at the request of! the music editor of The Tribune, yesterday yester-day contributed the following: At the recent rendition of one of the great works oT musical art, the programme contained the following statement: "For the entertainment and edification of the public." No more trite and important words could be found to express the musical situation in this city. To edify the public at the same time that It is be-ins; be-ins; entertained is neither lookine: too high nor too low In the interest of musical advancement. It is wisely taking a middle course. A community of the character of this, our own, should not be allowed to wallow in the mire of musical slush, nor could it be expected to respond heartily to the music of the spheres. Somewhere between be-tween these far-distant extremes may be found the public caravan, on its wav to Parnassus, let us hope, even though its starting-out point is etia nearer to it than its destination. A notion that needs correction is the false idea that good music Is not beautiful, beau-tiful, not attractive, not entertaining. It is true that some music, designated desig-nated as classical music, is not attractive at-tractive to the masses, as is the case also with' some of the best literature, as well as some of the best of anything. any-thing. An acquired or cultured taste plus the natural or elemental appetites appe-tites Is required for the genuine relish of certain musical delectables. But these pieces of music do not form the sum of good music. They are only a part of the whole. There is an abundance of true music, enjoyable and educative at the same time, that requires at most an unprejudiced atti-f atti-f tude and a roeard in the right direction. direc-tion. Perhaps not more than the colloquial col-loquial "stop, look, listen" would be required in order that an audience might zei the proper view. Simple attention, at-tention, a serious attention, to the actual facts being revealed by good music is often quite sufficient preparation prep-aration for the full appreciation of it. A great amount of the world's best music needs no previous musical education. edu-cation. It bears in itself the educating edu-cating power. It lifts and ennobles and pleases. AU one has to do is to listen to it with an unexpectant, unprejudiced un-prejudiced mind a mind clean and hungry for impression. Good Music to Open Season at Saltair The coming season at Saltair, -which formally opens Decoration day, will undoubtedly un-doubtedly mark one of the most elaborate musical eras in the history of Utah resorts. re-sorts. R.
