k -jmm m - EL PASO HERALD nmi, . x? i EL PASO "Music exalts each joy, allays each grief, Expels disease, softens every pain; And hence the wise and ancient days adored, One power of physic melody and songl" 99 MlTClr' wcFlr eb. 25-March 3 Phonograph and piano are MODERN, but MUSIC is older than the STARS! While the world still slept in PRIMORDIAL NIGHT, in the mind of the INFINITE dwelt MUSIC! Apollo, too, back in earth's springtime, was wont to HEAL THE AIL MENTS of mankind with CONCORD of SWEET SOUND. Would you know the names of some of the world's great physicians? Verdi! Gounod! Mascagni! Healers of power! MAC DOWELL! NEVTN! MENDELSSOHN! CHOPIN! MOZART! Sick indeed is the soul that will not rise to the magic of their medicine. The influence of music is SPIRITUAL. It beckons UPWARD! Let music in at the window, and GOOD will come in at the DOOR! "Speech of angels," says Carlyle. "The Universal Language of Mankind!" Have you MUSIC in your home? You SHOULD have! You owe it to YOUR SELF and YOURS to have it it means so MUCH! All music is GOOD! Some music is BETTER but the music which touches the heart is best of all for you. Play your old favorites! Take a new lease on life! Music will add smiles, and years of happiness. "In the beginning," says the Book, "God created the heavens and the earth, and the earth was without 'form and VOID, and DARKNESS was upon the face of the deep! "And the Spirit of God moved upon' the face of the waters! "And God said, LET THERE BE LIGHT; and there WAS light"-and with LIGHT there came LOVE and MUSIC! Music soothes the ruffled soul like oil on TROUBLED WATERS. Music sways the sensibilities like the soft summer winds on the striiigs of an Eolian harp. Music ENNOBLES, INSPIRES, REFINES, UPLIFTS! " Arouses the latent GOOD! Uncovers the hidden GOLD! Let there be light and there WAS light! Let there be music and there WAS music; flowers and birds, and joyous laughter! Pan, god of the forests and fields god of shepherds and flocks leader of the dance of the wood nymphs inventor of the PIPES performed with such wizardy that he FILLED ALL NATURE with music! Harken to PAN! Open wide the windows of the SOUL and LET MUSIC IN! El Paso Music Week is sponsored by the El Paso Music Association, the Music Merchants of El Paso and the citizenship of El Paso who understand and appre ciate the influence that music has upon progress and development. The programs that are being offered at the places and halls set forth in the advertisements, letters and pamphlets which are flooding the mails during this Week wz the best that local ability and talent can produce. There will not be a day during this memorable Wee in El Paso but what the cause of Music will be advocated, heralded and justified. This remarkable Week is not a something to be typified as an ORGANIZATION. It is a MOVEMENT. It is a something into which all are drawn, from thebed ridden and unfortunate SHUTINS to those who live in fine houses and ride in fine limousines.
