This applies not only to classical music, which requires long training to value at its full worth and will always be limited in its appeal, but also to those melodies that speak to the soul of a people. As there are many languages now stirring the ether from radio stations in every land, there is a distinct element of nationality in music. This universal language has the inestimable advantage of being intelligible to all.The national music of a people stirs the hearts of those among whom it originates and becomes "one's mother tongue" in a foreign land. Nevertheless, it has a charm of its own for those who lend a listening ear to the interpretation of a nation's emotions. At the foundation of national music, however complex its development, lie the simpler, pleasing melodies that are the spontaneous production of a people.To combine pleasure with instruction in the myriad languages of music has been the fundamental idea of the series of weekly programs broadcast during the past year from the Radio News station, WILNY, through the cooperation of the New York Edison Company. Thousands of appreciative letters from our readers show how this remarkable feature has become a looked-for event in their weekly radio calendar.To enhance its value to the radio audience, a handsome book dealing with the series of current programs of the Edison Hour has been prepared by Josef Bonime, director of the well-known Edison Ensemble. In an interesting form, it describes the characteristics of the music of some forty peoples, which are topically arranged in the programs of the coming season. This little volume has been appropriately titled "The Music Map of the World," and it will be a welcome addition to the bookshelf of every lover of radio music.All trained lovers of music can readily distinguish the national characteristics in the music of different countries, for through years of listening, they have learned to associate certain moods of music with certain races. There is something in the music of a country that labels it as peculiar to its people, and it is with these characteristics that "The Music Map of the World" deals.WRNY was a New York City AM radio station that began operating in 1925. It was started by Hugo Gernsback's Experimenter Publishing Company to promote his radio and science magazines. Starting in August 1928, WRNY was one of the first stations to make regularly scheduled experimental television broadcasts. Experimenter Publishing went bankrupt in early 1929 and the station was purchased by the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company to promote aviation. WRNY was deleted in 1934, as part of a consolidation on its shared frequency by surviving station WHN (now WEPN). CLICK HERE FOR MORE Vintage Record Catalogs and Booklets!
