Because it reveals so simply and so truly the feelings of the people who devised It. folksong deserves to De oiled the common denominator of rational emotions. A comparison of Irik-tunes sung in different countries | brings out a common beauty and dn cerlty which must do much to destroy the claim of any one nation to cul tural superiority over the others, and isuj to imbue the listener with the tptrlt of toleration and amity. Oddly enough it has remained for young Canada to point the way toward this atd and lovely music. 80 great was the 'merest in the French-Canadlan I twksong Festival at Quebec last May. ; and in tbe Scottish Music Festival at I thus in September, that it baa been | decided to repeat both these festivals i«a. with «rary prudpso* «€ llshing them as annual events. The folk-music competition announced for next year’s Quebec Festival at the Chateau F*rontenac has caused com posers all over the world to study French-Canadlan melodies. To stimulate further Interest tn folksong and its associated music, two additional festivals will be held in 1928. One of these will be a new Canadian and Handicraft Festival next June at Winnipeg, tn which im migrant races from northern Europe will be invited to sing the folk-tunes of their native lands and to display specimens of the handicrafts in which I the* are so skilled. The other festival take place at Vancouver in the early fall.
