Side 32 - Berlioz in his supremest effort with his army of drummers produced nothing to compare in artistic interest with the harmonious drumming of these savages. The fundamental effect was a combination of double and triple time, the former kept by the singers, the latter by the drummers, but it is impossible to convey the idea of the wealth of detail achieved by the drummers by means of exchange of the rhythms, syncopation of both simultaneously, and dynamic devices.
Side 90 - ... is unknown, and the livelihood of the artist does not depend upon his ability and will to amuse the crowd. In other words, the musician is protected. Under these circumstances he is under no temptation to be anything but a musician; his education begins in infancy and his art remains a vocation. The civilizations of Asia do not afford to the inefficient amateur those opportunities of self-expression which are so highly appreciated in Europe and America. The arts are nowhere taught as a social...
Side 24 - They contain idioms which were transplanted hither from Africa, but as songs they are the product of American institutions; of the social, political and geographical environment within -which their creators were placed in America; of the influences to which they were subjected in America; of the joys, sorrows and experiences which fell to their lot in America.

Side 44 - In striking contrast to the foregoing conditions was the social life which CC Robin, a writer of that period thus describes: "The Louisiana ladies — appeared at — entertainments (given for Madame Laussat, wife of the French Prefect) with a magnificence which was a just cause of astonishment in such a colony, and which might have been successfully compared with any efforts of that sort even in the principal cities of France. The Louisiana ladies who may justly be said to be remarkable for their...
Side 46 - We have seen from city ordinances that the building comprised a "hall as well as a theater." Spanish documents of 1799 and 1802 give proof of the existence of boxes in the Comedy previous to 1799. The Literary Magazine and American Register for 1805 contains an article descriptive of New Orleans and mentions "a play-house, which is rather small; it consists of one row of boxes only, with a pit and gallery.
Side 37 - The most potent as well as the most beautiful among them, according to my estimation, are certain of the so-called plantation melodies and slave songs, all of which are distinguished by unusual and subtle harmonies, the like of which I have found in no other songs but those of old Scotland and Ireland.
Side 44 - ... Arroyo's place, and Don Manuel Hoa had succeeded Gayarre. For these changes he begged the royal approbation. Until the year 1796, the city of New Orleans had never been lighted at night except by the moon, and had been guarded by occasional patrols only, when circumstances required it, But, on the 30th of March of that year, the Baron wrote to his government that, considering the frequent and almost inevitable robberies which were perpetrated in a city of six thousand souls., by a multitude of...
Side 45 - If good order is to be maintained, the orchestra of the hall cannot be subject to fanciful demands to play this or that tune; the management binds itself to satisfy the public's demand by the rendition of national airs; no person by bringing up any request in this regard shall disturb either the orchestra or the audience without running the risk of being brought before the magistrate as is provided in the first article of this ordinance.
Side 32 - ... attempted to make such a score by enlisting the help of the late John C. Fillmore, experienced in Indian music, but we were thwarted by the players who, evidently divining our purpose when we took out our notebooks, mischievously changed their manner of playing as soon as we touched pencil to paper. I was forced to the conclusion that in their command of the element, which in the musical art of the ancient Greeks stood higher than either melody or harmony, the best composers of today were the...
