Oscar Seagle dreamed of a place where he could teach singing surrounded by beauty, and thus founded our colony just over one hundred years ago. John Seagle wanted to produce opera and music-theater and founded the Seagle Colony Opera Guild. Pete and Dodie and the Seagle family dreamt of continuing that vision long into the future, and for the past two decades, we have been charged with enhancing and expanding that vision. We continue to dream and we are dreaming big! In the past two decades, we have seen continuous improvement in the caliber of the emerging artists we attract. The quality of our productions has improved thanks to the generosity of people who helped us build the Shames Rehearsal Studio, the men’s dorms, Allegro and Libretto, and just this past year the beautiful staff house on the hill beside the White House. We also have dreams of new women’s dorms, a new dining hall and of course a beautiful new theater. Not only do we dream of upgraded facilities, but new programs as well. Our next dream is to have a secondary program devoted to producing new operas, workshopping pieces in development, and giving composers a refuge where they can write in the beautiful setting that Oscar Seagle found so long ago. We’ve already started realizing this dream with the 2016 world premiere of Roscoe by Evan Mack and Joshua McGuire, this year’s premiere of Herschel Garfein’s Rosencrantz & Guildenstern are Dead, and several early-fall new opera workshops over the past several years. This latest dream is being formalized and has led to the creation of the American Center for New Works Development at Seagle Music Colony. This new effort will keep the national and international focus on Seagle Music Colony that has continued to grow over the decades. None of these dreams can become a reality without you. Your gifts are imperative to our current success, and to making our dreams come true. Every dollar or minute you invest in Seagle Music Colony makes an impact not only on the present, but the future of the Colony and the future of the greater opera world. We’re creating that future together because we dare to dream. We invite you to take this journey with us. Thank you, in advance, for all you will do to help us realize our dreams. Tony Kostecki, General Director Darren K. Woods, Artistic Director On behalf of the Board of Directors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the 102nd season of Seagle Music Colony. Be prepared for an evening of vocal and performance artistry unparalleled in your theater experience. You will not only be experiencing the performance in an intimate Adirondack concert venue, but, most importantly, you will be witnessing some of the greatest vocal talent in the world embark on their careers as they train under the tutelage of our talented faculty, who energize and encourage each emerging artist. With each evening’s performance, you may indeed be a witness to history in the making, as many of our alumni have used their training at Seagle as a springboard to professional careers that have taken them to stages across the world. While you’re here, please take an opportunity to explore our campus. We have already implemented our campus improvement plan, which has begun with the opening of a new faculty housing facility. Plans are also in place for the enhancement of the remainder of our campus, including the construction of a new state of the art theater across the driveway from the current theater, while maintaining the present Oscar Seagle Memorial Theater as a rehearsal space and museum. Needless to say, our work at Seagle and our revitalization plans can only be accomplished through your support. I encourage you to be a part of our exciting future. While you are here, please take the opportunity to speak with me, Darren, Tony, or any of our Board members about ways in which you feel you can contribute to our exciting future. Thank you for coming, and enjoy what I know will be a superb performance. Seth D.

John Seagle served on renowned baritone, Oscar Seagle. Oscar made several the staff of WRGB in Schenectady, NY, where Colony singers concert tours in the United States and Europe, and recorded were frequently called upon to perform. After Oscar Seagle's albums for Columbia, including the popular World War I hit death in 1945, John directed and taught voice at Seagle "Dear Old Pal of Mine." He served from 1903-1914 as Music Colony from 1945 to 1985.

Please make certain that all electronic devices are turned off during the performance. The taking of photographs and use of recording equipment are not permitted in the auditorium. Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

    /VB3 / A/ O,(s0-02 A SURVEY OF THE RESEARCH LITERATURE ON THE FEMALE HIGH VOICE THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the University of North Texas in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By Roberta M. Stephen, B. Mus., A. Mus., A.R.C.T. Denton, Texas December, 1988 Stephen, Roberta M., Survey of the Research Literature on the Female High Voice. Master of Arts (Music), December, 1988, 161 pp., 11 tables, 13 illustrations, 1 appendix, bibliography, partially annotated, 136 titles. The location of the available research literature and its relationship to the pedagogy of the female high voice is the subject of this thesis. The nature and pedagogy of the female high voice are described in the first four chapters. The next two chapters discuss maintenance of the voice in conventional and experimental repertoire. Chapter seven is a summary of all the pedagogy. The last chapter is a comparison of the nature and the pedagogy of the female high voice with recommended areas for further research. For instance, more information is needed to understand the acoustic factors of vibrato, singer's formant, and high energy levels in the female high voice. PREFACE The purpose of this thesis is to collect research about the female high voice and to assemble the pedagogy. The science and the pedagogy will be compared to show how the two subjects conform, where there is controversy, and where more research is needed. Information about the female high voice is scattered in various periodicals and books; it is not easily found.

  • Resituating Transatlantic Opera: the Case of the Théâtre D'orléans, New
    Resituating Transatlantic Opera: The Case of the Théâtre d’Orléans, New Orleans, 1819–1859 Charlotte Alice Bentley Emmanuel College October 2017 This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT This thesis examines the production and reception of French opera in New Orleans in the first half of the nineteenth century, through a focus on the city’s principal French-language theatre from 1819 to 1859, the Théâtre d’Orléans. Building on the small body of existing scholarship concerning the theatre’s history and repertoire, here I draw upon a greatly expanded range of sources—including court cases, sheet music, and novels—in order to understand more about the ways in which operatic culture shaped and was shaped by city life in this period. New Orleans’s operatic life relied on transatlantic networks of people and materials in order to thrive, and this thesis explores the city’s place within growing global operatic systems in the nineteenth century. The five chapters each reflect on different aspects of operatic translocation and its significance for New Orleans. The first two argue for the centrality of human agency to the development of transatlantic networks of production and performance by examining the management of the theatre and the international movement of singers in turn. Chapter 3 investigates the impact of French grand opéra on New Orleans, arguing that the genre provided a focus for the negotiation of local, national, and international identities among opposing critical (and linguistic) factions within the city, while also providing an impetus for the development of a material culture of opera.
