Show II OCEAN MUSIC, A New Rage In the Music World. 8 From Information furnlBlied by tho S Tolbort H. Ingram Music Company of ,5 Donver, Colorado, tho Indlcntlons nro ts Ihnt tho mimic buying public Ib getting Ej tho "Ocean Music" crnzo. It all orlgl- ft tinted with tho publication by this Urn. of tho Htlo ocoan cliaractorlstlc, H "Nymphs o tho Mlat," and tho next ( few years will, no doubt, seo tho Issu- nnco of many now pieces nlong this Hpeclnl line. Tho music publishers j goncrnlly try to supply what the pub- 1 lie calls for and now tho doslro seems to bo for "Ocean Music." "Nymphs o' ii Iho Mist" possesses that weird ehnrm f that the ocean characterizes. It is noi jj n complicated number, but at tho snmr M tlmo It is well written nnd appeals j iillko to tho best musical taste ns well li ns to tho popular fancy. From present, I'j Indlcntlons, tho sale of this number V will far exceed the publisher's most i sanguine oxpcctntlons. I This incident Is only nnothor oxnm- 11 plo of tho unexpectedness of public np- It proval. As a music denlor remarked I' tho other day, "You can nover teh what will make n 'hit' with tho public; f but lifter nil is said, you will find that 1 pieces thnt sell tho best iiosbcbs boiiio peculiar chnrm either In molody, I rhythm or sentiment thnt Is not a I part of the ninny pieces thnt are fall- I urea, nnd ns a court of last resort, tho I public can generally be depended upon I to render n fair decision. I think tho I whole flecret of success Is originality. I 'At a Georgian Cnmpmeetlng,' mndo a I success because it was the promler I piece of Its clnss. 'Hiawatha' made a I uuecess becaimo It was tuneful, new I und dlfforent. It was original.'" |
