The ancient Maori was far moro expressive in his emotional Ile then is the European. ‘and one indication of this fact is to be soon in the very prominent part which for him song played in life. Captain Cook recorded of the Maoris that: “They sing with some dogree of melody the traditions of their forefathers, thelr actions in war, and other indifferent subjects of all of which they are immoderately fond, and spend much time in these amuse- ‘ments, and in playing on @ sort of tute.” Songs were composed with remarkable facility to express the various emotions, and songs of love and longing, lament, war aongs. watch songs. taunting songs, and lullabies were all composed as circumstances evoked them. The finest Maori songs are very old and were handed down the generations. playing their part fn the passing on of tradition and myth. The words of songs contained much picturesque imagery, special attention was paid to euphony. and their performance was usually ‘accompanied by a variety of graceful gestures. Rhythm was an outstanding feature. The factual musical range was small, but the anciont Maori had an ear for fineness of tone division far boyond that of Europeans. These old-time Maori songs are stil to be heard at Maori gatherings, and many of them have beon recorded for scientific purposes. Naturally European influence soon made itil felt in thie as in other aspects of Maori life, and the Maori was introduced to European music, to hymn and pealm fumes, and to pakeha secilar songs. These he has made his own, and song still plays a large part in Maori life.

Maoris have adapted and composed them end European musicians have found them worthy of treatment. They are deservedly popular. for with their marked rhythm ‘and simple melodies they make a universal appeal.
