Miss Smith Replays Past
’Green’ Composer Makes Top Ten
By JANICE DABROSKI
Daily Reporter
When students sing “Glory to the Green”
at Saturday’s Homecoming football game,
they’ll be paying tribute to one of North
Texas' most distinguished alumni as well
as their school.
Miss Julia Smith, a 1924 North Texas
graduate, composed the music for the alma
mater song, “Glory to the Green” in I922.
She is in Denton for Homecoming Week
and reminisced about her college days.
“I remember athletics was becoming
important and we were the only college
that didn’t have a school song,” she said.
“Charlie Langford, a three-letter man,
sat next to me in English and one day he
said, ‘I’ll write the words if you’ll write the
music,’ ” Miss Smith continued.
“At the next football game it was played
for the first time. Everyone sang,” she
said.
That’s how it came about, no contest,
no pomp and circumstance, just two stu-
dents and their talents.
Since then Miss Smith has composed
seven operas, a symphony, a piano con-
certo, several orchestral suites and numer-
ous choral, chamber music and piano
works. She has also authored two widely
acclaimed biographies, “Aaron Copeland”
and "Master Pianist, the Career and Teach-
ing of Carl Friedberg.”
In 1963 Miss Smith was named one of
the ten leading women composers in Amer-
ica by the National Council of Women in
the United States.
“It’s easier for a man to be a great com-
poser. We women are just not welcome in
the brotherhood,” she said. "I should point
out American composers in general have

a hard time getting their music performed,”
she continued.
Miss Smith holds an unpaid position in
the National Federation of Music Club.
She battles daily to get not only American
music played by major orchestras, but more
specifically, that of women composers.
Recently, 72 radio stations throughout
the United States accepted a 13 week con-
tract to air compositions by American men
and women. “We made sure when the rec-
ords were sent to the stations that the men’s
recordings were on the reverse side of the
womens’.” Miss Smith said, “We are con-
stantly in a position of having to prove
ourselves as composers,” she said.
“When the programs were first aired,
Gloria Steinem’s office called and wanted
to know the sources for our information,”
Miss Smith said. “I’m not a women’s lib-
ber, but 1 would like to see women compos-
ers get the recognition they deserve,” she
said
Miss Smith signs “Julia Smith” to all
her work although she is entitled to use
Dr having received her Ph D. in music
from New York University. Miss Smith is
also Mrs. Oscar Vielehr, but prefers to go
by her maiden name as she began compos-
ing under that name. “It’s hard enough
to get recognition without confusing peo-
ple by changing names halfway through
a career,” Miss Smith said.
“1 think too it’s a good idea for a woman
to keep her own identity, after all, her name
is part of her personality," she said.
Though she is presently living in New
York, Miss Smith says she’ll always con-/
sider North Texas her home. Miss Smith
comes from a musical family, and also la
family of North Texas graduates.
“In 1924, the Music School was jtl a
department and a little one at that. Vnile
I was here, I majored in English, but took
all the music courses offered,” Miss Smith
said. “On the side 1 taught piano lessons
for $1 per half hour, played the organ in
the Methodist Church and practiced three
and a half hours a day.
Her talented parents made music a focal
point in the home “If 1 had to choose
whether to inherit a musical talent or get
it through my environment, there is no
question which Ed choose My parents
made music a pleasure to learn, and our
family revolved around it,” she said.
Miss Smith’s four brothers and two
sisters all attended North Texas. Her aunt,
Ruby Smith, was the first woman Ph D.
to teach at North Texas.
In 1970 Miss Smith was awarded the
Distinguished Alumni award. This year
her brother, Capt. Emory C. Smith, re-
ceived the same award
Currently, Miss Smith is composing an
opera entitled "Daisy,” for the Girl Scout
Council of Tropical Florida.
Through Miss Smith’s efforts there is
no doubt that one day women will receive
the recognition they deserve.
