These folk songs *of the Negroes, a spontaneous outpouring if- into the language of music of a sim * pie and vivid faith in heaven, making a hopeless ' existence endurable, , , are generally considered to have found no more searching interpreter. The Negro spirituals are sung in various ways, and admit?no- doubt? of more reading than one. But by a consensus of opinion, Rolan.i Hayes has found in them a fulness of beau-' ty and depth of conviction?a musical importance 'never., before eoni^ pletely realized. The Paris "Excelsior" called Roland Hayes last May the "iucompara~ hie spoke'snian" of the Negro spirituals. "He reveals all of their piti " - . ful lqnging, their simplicity which is childlike, and irresistibly touching." And Maurice tnvbert, in the fans"Debats," ended p fine eulogy by say ing: i-One could sot imagine then) * expressed with greater beauty. )Mr. Hfty 8r at this point, lifted the great-* ' . est apt of the Negro to the realm or the universal." i In Russi^ Rolan I1 Hayes sang the spirituals to an audience of workmen and peasants who knew nothing Of their language or text.
