Bachelors’ Theses

Up to the present the music of the world, in its completences, has been the private preserve of a little band of people who happened to live in the places where it could be heard, and who happened to have money enough to pay to hear it. Henceforth, it belongs to everybody. This means an immense widening of public interest in music, and I believe, a great raise of public taste. In five years' time, in my expectation, the general musical public of Europe and America will be treble or quadruple its present size. And the next generation instead of …

Bachelors’ Theses

Our public schools which attempted to include in their program every subject which may contribute to the development of human character or to the elevation of human happiness, did not until recently, include music. Music was looked upon as an art which should be taught to the gifted ones only and, therefore, should be taught privately. It is only recently that our educators are beginning to realize the important role music plays in human life. It has been only recently that music has been introduced as a subject into the public school. Even today there is a lot of discussion …

John Milton's Conception Of Music, Lotys Benning

Graduate Thesis Collection

The nature of music has been defined as the uttering and arousing of emotions by successions and combinations of regulated sound, that of poetry as the representation or arousing of emotions by means of verbal signs arranged with musical regularity.  Thus it will be seen that the two arts, having the same purpose, are closely allied, and may be considered interdependent.

The Relation Of French Poetry And Painting To The Development Of French Impressionistic Music, Phyllis Elaine Threlfall

University of the Pacific Theses and Dissertations

As far as the writer could find in her reading no one has ever written a finished study of this phase of Music, Art, and Literature. Of course, there are hints of it here and there in many books, but in no one in particular was a detailed study given. Paul Landormy’s book, A History of Music, seemed to carry the heart of the subject, however, in an extremely miniature style.

When we think of French music, our minds are generally centered in Paris, for it is here that the greatest organizations have been sponsored, and the important musical ideas …
