Ten years ago, such a lead would have found hundreds of readere hastily turning the page to get tc the sports news or to see what well-known frater had recently pinned which prominent co-ed; but today's reader is a more intelligent person. le is sophisticated; he has cul ture, savoir-faire, and table man ners. His motto is progress progress at any price, just ask Pat Garnett. Moreover, society is listening to music more than ever before, Thanks to long-playing records, disc jockeys, and hi fi systems, we have a faucet of music continually at our finger-tips. We use music as decoration, like the paper on the wall, and are just as conscious of it. The commercial record com panies realize this, and otherwise honorable musicians like Man tovani, Andre Kostelanetz, and ot hers have been producing for the past several years wonderfully bland albums appropriately en titled "Music For A Rainy Night," "Music For A Starry Night,' "Music To Work By," "Music To Relax By," and "Music To Read Mary Worth By." To Listen To? Someday someone will make an album called "Music To Listen To" and revolutionize the industry.

Aaron Copland, the distin guished American composer, in his book "What To Listen For In Music" tells us how we listen to such music. Copland divides musical risten ing into three categories, listed here in ascending order: (1) the senuous plane, (2) the expressive plane, and (3) the sheerly musical plane. Representative Form The expressive plane is one in which we listen to music for its external meaning, whether it represents a railroad train, a thunderstorm, or a sunny spring day, or whether it is sad or happy, gay or gloomy. This form of listen ing accounts for the popularity of works like Von Suppe's "Light Cavalry Overture" and Rimsky Korsakov's "Scheherazade." The sheerly musical plane is the highest plane for here the interest lies in hearing just how the com poser arranged the notes them selves to give meaning and ex pression to the music. It is an abstract, intellectual plane where .only the actual physical music it self is considered in determining the emotional message of the work. This is the plane in whi'ch the listener's entire attention is di rcted toward the music so that he might interpret it for himself. The senuous plane of listening is unfortunately the only level that (Author of LANGUAGE MAE Exams loom closer and c chips are down.

It, writes Copland, consists of "a brainless but attractive state of mind which is engendered by the mere pleasure of the musical sound." This is the attitude reached when there is a radio playing nearby which we iear without actually listening. Don't have to Listen? Many of us delude ourselves into thinking that we are music lovers when actually we have never really listened to any music. For example, one fellow told me quite seriously that he really liked classical music because "it's so unobtrusive. I don't have to stop and listen to it while I'm studying." Another person recently said, "That classical music is nice; I can sure go to sleep easily listen ing to it." However, the outlook for class ical music is not so dark after all. More people than ever are going to concerts and recitals. Here at Caro lina, music appreciation is one of the most. popular elective courses. Record con panics issue as many classical albums as pop and mood music, and Eugene Ormandy sells almost as well as the ('lovers and the Platters combined. Low Fi to Ili-Fi The future, of course, is bright. Bela Bartok will he around long after Pat Boone is forgotten, and Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" will still be sting when Tab Hunter is just a bad memory.
