The "Spirituals" of- his rac(> with
which Rolaiul Htryes customarily ends
hia programme,* have proved a Spo~
? ipl revelation to the people of every
country. 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
