The nationalism we’ve got is expressed in our fetish worship of the flag, and in—the—fist-raising, voice-raising oratorgwho doesn’t care-what it’s all about, but if anyone looks at the grand old flag cross-eyed, he’s for war! Such national loyalty is inadequate in our time. We have to co-operate universally, because nations are divided on the most eco- nomically fantastic lines. The little coun- tries of Europe, for instance, could not exist without foreign supplies. “Yet what is good for the State, that -we consider righteous? The citizen can- not refrain from war if the State is for it. Not that nationalism is altogether bad, or could be wholly done away with. But the basis of this nationality is not race but feeling. The Negro in peace has to struggle for common rights, but in war he’s a full-blooded American, sharing with the privileged white man the opportuffity of dying for ‘his country. “The nationalism we’ve got is Machia- vellian. The nationalism we should have is best described in the definition of Maz- zini: ‘the conscience of a people that as- ’ signs to each his offices and duties in humanity.’ “Our task is see how, protesting we can, prevent the to CONTINUED ON: PAGE 2 BRYN MAWR WINS FIRST “VARSITY BASKETBALL GAME First halj—Brinton ter Davis. ae Pap ees centre, Sha: ee ee | EVOLUTION OF MODERN MUSIC DISCUSSED BY NADIA BOULANGER Admiration for Strawinsky ; Faure “Biggest Musician of Our Time” “Modern music has its roots in the past,” |said Mlle. Nadia Boulanger, distinguished organist, pianist and lecturer, who spoke on the Evolution of Modern Music in Taylor. Halfen Saturday February 14, at 8.15. Recent tendencies in music, she explained, demand unprejudiced consideration, not only as_revolutionary, .but. also as_evolutionary developments, Potytonality, one of the prin- cipal characteristics of the new music, was used by Bach. Likewise many complicated rhythms of such compositions asx Straw-| insky’s can be expressed in terms. Greek rhythms, “For a long time,” Mlle. Boulanger said in describing the characteristics of modern compositions, “music was based on the unity of the measure.” Today Ravel in a trio and Strawinsky in “L’Histoire du Soldat” divide a ibd like 8-8 into divisions of 1-2-3, ‘12 re 2-3-4-5 . odie teeaaes of modern mitsic. are the whole-tone. scale,-of which Debussy was-an exponent, polytonality, and atonality such as Schoenberg entploys. In instrumentation, Mile. Boulanger emphasized the “strength and brilliance” of Strawinsky’s work. “The biggest musician of our time,” ac- cording to Mile. Boulanger, is Gabriel Faure, ; whose work “in its construction gives us a feeling of eternity, peace and purity. His art of modulation is perhaps the most won- derful music has ever known.” In illustra- tion, she played a Nocturne with a “long simple melody and beautiful harmony,” writ- ten years”ago, and a more recent Nocturne (No, 13) full of the contemplative quality of many of Bach’s chorales.
