Plot - Con Kidder and Kid Conner are two American con men stuck in Holland without the funds to return to their beloved New York City. They've managed to talk their way through some days at the Red Mill Inn, but the Burgomaster and his sister Berta the Inn Keeper are on to their little game and demand payment or work in return. There just happens to be a waiter job open and a tourist guide job open - it's jail or work. Meanwhile Gretchen loves Dori but is going to be forced by the Burgomaster to marry the old Governor. Gretchen ends up locked in the Old Mill, Dori is locked up in jail and the outlook is bleak - that is until Con and Kid come to the rescue. During the second act, everyone spends most of their time hunting for the suddenly missing Gretchen. The Burgomaster is so desperate he hires Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson thinking they are Copyright ©2021 - VHSource, LLC - http://vherbert.com _PN_PAGE 1 _PN_OF 2 real people. Of course all turns out well in the end. This new libretto solves the problem of the lack of information regarding what exactly the vaudevillians Montgomery & Stone did in the original show. Score highlights include: "The Streets of New York," "Whistle It," "Moonbeams," "Mignonette," "I Want You to Marry Me," "Isle of Our Dreams," "Everyday Is Ladies Day," "Just Because You're You," "The Legend of the Mill," and "I'm Always Doing Something I Don't Want To Do."

  • Herbert's Songs: Designed for Classical Singers A
    HERBERT’S SONGS: DESIGNED FOR CLASSICAL SINGERS A CREATIVE PROJECT PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE DEGREE MASTERS OF MUSIC BY LAURA R. KRELL DR. MEI ZHONG-ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY, 2012 Herbert’s Songs: Designed for Classical Singers Introduction Victor Herbert has undoubtedly provided America some of its greatest, most tender, romantic, invigorating, and challenging songs for soprano. Today, Herbert’s masterworks appear simultaneously in both Musical Theater Anthologies and Operatic Collections. Many students encounter questions as to performance practice: can these songs be sung as “musical theater,” with young, immature voices, or should they be studied by classical singers? Despite the pool of speculation swirling around this issue, there has not been any significant research on this particular topic. This study will detail the vocal abilities of Herbert’s most prolific sopranos (Alice Nielsen, Fritzi Scheff, and Emma Trentini), and identify compositional elements of three of Herbert’s most famous arias (“The Song of the Danube,” “Kiss Me Again,” and “Italian Street Song”), using historical data to demonstrate that each composition was tailored specifically for the versatility and profound vocal ability of each opera singer, and is poorly mishandled by those without proper classical training. The writer will offer observations from three amateur online recordings of “Art Is Calling For Me.” The writer will use the recordings to highlight specific pitfalls untrained singers may encounter while singing Herbert, such as maneuvering coloratura passages, breath control, singing large intervallic leaps, and the repeated use of the upper tessitura.

  • Herbert in Pittsburgh
    From the "Idol's Eye" to "Tristan":Victor Herbert in Pittsburgh Robert F. Schmalz University of Southwestern Louisiana For nearly a century, the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have been represented by two of the nation's finest orchestral ensembles. Although colorful and sometimes controversial personalities spice the histories of both organiza- tions, Victor Herbert's mercurial career as conductor of the Pittsburgh orchestra is particularly noteworthy. Indeed, during his brief tenure in Pittsburgh the composer of "Babes in Toyland" and "Naughty Marietta" exerted an extraordi- nary influence on the musical life of his adopted city. Victor Herbert succeeded Frederick Archer to become the second conduc- tor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1898, only the fourth season of the orchestra's existence. Inheriting an organization which was confused and divided over Archer's dismissal, the thirty-eight year old conductor launched a six-year association which proved to be a rewarding experience for the city, the orchestra, and the conductor alike. Those who anticipated a new beginning were not disappointed. Herbert brought with him to Pittsburgh a decidedly popular image. Born on February 1, 1859, he was the grandson of Samuel Lover, an Irish novelist, poet and songwriter. He had pursued a musical career in Germany, studying at the Stuttgart Conservatory. Herbert toured France, Germany and Italy as cello soloist with the Stuttgart Orchestra in the late 1870's and early 1880's. It was during this period that he produced his first compositions, completing both a suite and a concerto for cello and orchestra, as well as several songs.
