                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

�PROGRAM NOTES
Dear Friends:
Welcome to another afternoon of song.  For those of you who have never
attended one of my programs, you are in for a l o t German Lieder ­
 
perhaps more than most people ever hear at one sitting.  My teacher and
mentor was one of the greatest German Lieder singers and it seems only
natural  that  since  I have  an  aﬀinity with  her voice  and technique, so
should I also have aﬀinity with the Lieder.  Today’s program, however,
oﬀers a bit of a departure from my normal recital style, as I have added
two relatively unfamiliar works in other languages.  The ﬁrst half oﬀers a
steady diet of Lieder, and the second half has two diﬀerent t hings on the
menu:  the rarely performed Death of Cleopatra of Berlioz in French and
the whimsical jazzy cycle No Ordinary Woman! of Gwyneth Walker in
English.
In planning this program, I was oﬀered a date in October and decided that,
since October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I would love
to do a tribute to women. Each set oﬀers a diﬀerent look into the varied
personalities of women and how they deal with their lives.  Each shows us
a diﬀerent strength and vulnerability.  Presumably, no woman is alike, but
I am conspiring to prove today that there are things we all share and have
in common, whether it is a desire we have had in our deepest fantasies or
something that we have stood for outwardly in  how we live our lives.
There is a common thread of sisterhood, which crosses all boundaries of
race, color, social status or religious belief.  No more is that apparent than
in  the  poetry  of  Lucille  Clifton,  a  distinctively  “Black  voice”  which
speaks clearly of Black issues, emotions and values, and yet s p e a k s  all
of us with such ease and familiarity that we see a part of ourselves in her
writing.

Be active and become involved either by donation to the charity of your
choice or by moral support of someone you know who needs you.  We all
depend  on  women  for  their  nurturing,  their  encouragement  and  their
female intuition that make our earth a gentler, more beautiful place to live
in.  We are all a community of souls that can combine our small lights
into one larger one that can light the world.  You can make a diﬀerence in
someone’s life.  I’m sure you already have!  It  is my sincere hope that
today I will make a diﬀerence in yours, so please pass it on!
Love and Light to you all and do continue reading to enjoy some personal
and occasionally irreverent program notes!

The two Kliirchen Lieder that open the program are from incidental
music that Beethoven wrote for the Goethe play Egmont (like a modern
ﬁlm score of sorts) in 1809.  The idea of a hero in Beethoven’s mind was
in  fact inseparable from that of working for a liberated humanity.  The
beliefs of Egmont, Goethe and Beethoven were similar in  many ways,
and it has been said that Beethoven was so impressed with Goethe’s play
that  he  refused  to  take  any  payment  from  the  theater  for  writing  the
music.  Egmont is a stirring dramatization of a quintessentially romantic

subject: a heroic individual’s fatal struggle against injustice.  His beloved
and  devoted  Klarchen  was  a  Burgher’s  daughter  who  plots  to  free

Egmont  from imprisonment and, having  failed in that attempt, poisons

herself.  In these particular music selections, Klirchen shows her young
and  rambunctious side as well as her sentimental side.  Freudvoll und
Lcidvoll seems to be a lyric hymn to emotions themselves, emotions that
seem to be marked typically by ardent youth.  In Die Trommel geriihret,
one can hear the drums rolling in the lower piano and the ﬁfe tweeting up
high getting ready for battle.  One can hear the middle chords played in
oﬀ­beats, imitating the shooting guns of battle.  These songs are popular
with  voice  and  piano  in  any  range,  but  were  originally  written  for
soprano  with  orchestral  accompaniment.  One  is  reminded  of
Beethoven’s opera Fidelio, which also portrays a heroine disguised as a
man who inﬁltrates a camp to save her imprisoned husband.
The beautiful song cycle of Schumann to the poetry of Chamisso
has aroused disdain every time I discuss it with a German speaker.  Many
native German speakers (mainly men), while acknowledging the beauty
and  importance  of  this  cycle,  have  almost  unanimously  decided  that
these texts are insipid and sexist.  1 ﬁnd that terribly amusing, as i t is a
product  of  the  time  in  which  they  were  written.  Indeed,  there  are
moments that speak of obeisance and blind adoration.  What I think so
interesting, period notwithstanding, is that almost every person who has
been  in  love  in  the  delicate  ﬂower  of their  youth  has  had  just  these
feelings!  I have planned for many years to sing these songs and I have
always felt that they say how I feel about my husband.  Finally I have
programmed them, and you know what?  I still feel that way about him!
There are eight bricf songs woven together with such stunning simplicity
that  it  makes  one  marvel  at  the  honesty  of  emotion  they  portray.
Following her li fe from the ﬁrst time she lays eyes on “him,” Seit ich ihn
gave/ion opens with a gentle theme as she recounts how she fell in love at
ﬁrst  sight.  In  E r,  der  Herrlichste  von  Allen,  she  “shouts  from  the

�r

rooftops,” so to speak, his  praises and  how grand  he  is  in  every way.  Ieh

kann ”s  nicht fassen ﬁnds her bewilderment as she realizes that he too feels the

same way and has professed to “always be hers.”  Du Ring am meinem Finger
shows her gazing at her wedding ring, singing of the promises she will fulﬁll
and the responsibility and honor of becoming the wife of the man she adores.
In  Helft mir, ihn Schwestern, she asks her sisters to adorn  her and make her
ready  for  her  wedding  day.  One  clearly  hears  the  theme  of  this  song
transformed  into a wedding march  in  the piano ending.  Siisser Freund, du
blickest ﬁnds tenderness and intimacy as they consummate their marriage and
as she tells him that she hides a beautiful secret; one day his beloved  image
will gaze back at him.  The following An meinem Herzen, the happiest of all of
these in many ways, is a playful session with their beautiful child as she nurses
him and tickles him, making him  laugh.  What a shame it is, she says, that a
man can never experience this level of joy!  At the end of this song we  hear
clearly the three notes that she has sung at the end of the previous one, ‘dein
Bildniss’ (your image).  It is in this three note porten t that we next hear, in the
ﬁnal song, Nun  hast  du  mir den ersten Schmerz get an, the death knell  in a
single minor chord.  Here she curses him for her deep sadness caused by his
death, leaving her all alone.  She withdraws into herself, a nd there she will ﬁnd
her lost happiness and her w orld.  A fter these words, the theme w e heard at the
beginning of the cycle returns.  It is up to you whether or not to believe it is an
actual physical death for her, but most deﬁnitely i t i s the death o f the woman
she was, and this opening the me poignantly cradles this de ep and sad passing.
H ugo  Wolf’s ﬁrst i m portant works, the  songs of  1877­8, arose  from  the
eﬀec ts o f  h is sexual initiation and ﬁrst romantic attachment.  Some are bright,

others  agonized,  reﬂecting  his  depression  and  illness  from  a  syphilitic
infection.  Physical  exhaustion  and  depressive  phases stemmed  the  ﬂow  of
original  music.  He  wrote  his  last  songs  in  1897,  then  had  the  mental
breakdown  that  led  to  his  terminal  illness.  Wol f’s  strength  was  the
compression of large­scale forms and ideas ­ the essences of grand opera, tone
poem and dramatic symphony ­ into song, combining the Lieder traditions of
Schubert and  Schumann.  It  is  rare  to  hear the songs of  Wolf programmed
within a song recital.  First of all because they require a monster pianist playing
on a monster piano, and almost all o f his songs demand ﬂawless technique and
musical intellect from both s inger and pianist.  However, all o f that without a
capricious virtuosity means nothing.  Simple, yet someti mes strange melodies

set  against  complex  rhythms  and  harmonies  make  for  a  powerful  musical
journey.  Three of these songs tonight are of the comic and light  nature, and
two are heavy­laden with stunning cf fcct.  Mein Liebster hat zum Tische mich
geladen, from an original Italian text, is a romp with pianist and singer recling
o ﬀ s eemingly predictable notes that, i f  heard attentively, arc really odd leaps.

skips and strange intervals echoing the text vividly.  Miihvoll komm’ ich
und beladen  is  from the Spiritual Songs of the Spanish Songbook.  A
woman sings in great pain and shame; she begs God to take her and wash
her clean of her sins.  Here you hear the full splendor of Wolf‘s complex
harmonies.  Verschwiegene Liebe was written by Eichendorﬀ, a favorite
poet of Wolf’s.  A serene and quiet mood is set from the very beginning.
In the undulating piano chords, one can hear and experience being alone
in  nature, watching clouds go  by across the dark sky, and  thoughts of
love permeate the air and become almost tangible.  There is a rhythmic
disconnectedness  between  piano  and  voice  that  demonstrates  this
solitude.  The quietness and gentleness that each use to weave these lines
together despite the disconnect is a marvel, creating a calm stillness.  It is
as if each  is  resigned in  its separateness, yet woven  together.  In  dem
Schatten  meiner  Locken  is  taken  from  an  original  Spanish  text.  A
coquette lets us in on an intimate scene where her lover has fallen asleep.
She knows she has him just where she wants him.  In the meantime she is
terribly  preoccupied  with  her  hair  and  every other  little  thing.  Both
pianist  and  singer  must  play  back  and  forth  with  pianist  playing  the
spoken words and thought processes.  Ich hab ’ in Penna einen Liebsten
is  the “Catalogue Aria” for a woman.  Like the aria in  Mozart ’s opera

Don Giovanni that tells how many lovers he has had in which countries,
this young lady proceeds to give us the lowdown on her paramours!  The
bopping chords in the piano in the beginning give the feeli ng of her brain
ticking  and  counting  each  boy  and  his  whereabouts,  ending  with  a
fabulous ﬂourish worthy of such propitious luck in love.

L a Mort de Cléopétre, a marvelous “little opera” as I am wont to call it,
is a marvel of writing and a real  hard sing!  Written by  Berlioz as an
entry to a competition, the te xt was provided and strict rul es given.  With
orchestral  accompaniment  he  gives  the  orchestra  ﬂashes  of  color,
painting  broad  strokes  to  highlight  a  very  dramatic  personality  and
historic account of this glorious and proud woman as she recounts her

risc and  fall and ultimately screws her courage up to take her own  life
with a poisonous asp’s fatal fangs.  It is hard to believe that this entry did
not win.  He was a second prize winner the year before and was favored
to win.  It was the amazing chances he took in this composition and the
individualistic complexities that obviously baﬀled the judging panel that
caused his demise and stood in  the way of his claiming ﬁrst  prize.  The
following  year,  he  entered  again  and  conformed  strictly  to  the
compositional rules and at long last, won ﬁv e years ’  ﬁnancial support,
with an obligatory period of residence in  Italy.  What remains from that

�fourth entry  is an extraordinary piece of music that  is  rarely performed  but
always well received. 
­
There are a select  few who  hold  this piece  in  their  repertoire, and  one
might say it is written  for a certain type of singer, since it has a considerabl e

range and resides a great deal  in  the soprano territory.  lt has been sung by
sopranos  and  mezzo­sopranos  alike  and,  despite  its  considerable  vocal
demands, concerns  itself more  with  an  attitude and d ramatic  portrayal  than
vocal category.  This scéne  lyrique or operatic  scene as Berlioz calls it,  is
divided  into  sections  and  opens  with  an  overture­like  introduction.  A

»

­

recitative,  C ‘en  est  donc  fait!,  follows  as  Cleopatra  recounts  her  story  in
narrative style, which eventually gives way to a simple song, Ah! Qu ’ils sont

loin ces  jours, when she recalls her past glory.  Another narra tive follows – Au
comble des revers – on  how quickly  fate can turn  giving way to misery and
disaster.  Where w ill she ﬂee with no place to go, no parents, no  country?  Here
she decides that nothing is  left to her but death – “eternal night.”  The second
hal f, Méditation,  is inscribed with Juliet ’s words from Shakespeare : “ I f  when
in the tomb 1 am laid...”  A somewhat ritualistic dirge begins in the orchestra’s
depths, a droning yet jerky  rhythm  from the strings accompanied by muddy
dull  brass chords  seemingly  invoking the  underworld.  Cleopatra  intones a
prayer, Grands Pharaons, to the gods and pharaohs of old to accept her into the

poetry, the words of not only a Black woman but of “Every Woman,”
“Today’s Woman,” as she speaks with  clarity  and honesty  about  her
shortcomings,  her  disappointments,  expectations,  and  the  inevitable
loneliness that comes with the wisdom o f “coming of age.”  The music,
itself  sometimes  in  a  through­composed  jazz,  is,  just  as  the  poetry,
alternating between  lyricism and  percussive humor.  Generic but also
ethnic  in  nature,  it  encompasses  a  wide  range  of emotion  which  is
intensiﬁed by the use of humor in describing potentially touchy subjects:
round hips, nappy hair and of course the big “4­0.”  It recounts crossing

A fterlife.  A deﬁant sect ion follows – Non, j’ai d ’un époux déshonoré la vie –
where she proclaims that she w ill take control o f her destiny and decides to k ill
herself by a poisonous asp.  She cries out to Osiris and then says, “To  Typhon,
l deliver all m y days.”  It is here that she takes up the vile reptile, and one hears
clearly in the accompaniment the very moment when she is bitten.  Here the
frenzied  accompaniment  winds  down  to  two  low  notes  undulating  an
unmistakable heartbeat, in itially quick­paced, then accelerating as  the poison
takes aﬀect.  A ll the while she tells that she w ill leave this li fe, even as the

the threshold  from Maidenhood to Womanhood and from Womanhood
to  the  Wise  Crone,  a  passage  all  we  women  make  sometimes
humorously, sometimes painfully, but in this lady’s case always with her
eyes wide open for the journey!

Emperor Octavius awaits her on his chariot, and through her courage to take
her own li fe, she is at la st worthy o f Cacsar.  As she says these her ﬁnal words,
we  hear her  heartbeat slowing down and missing  beats, stopping,  restarting,
then fast again as if she is revived, and then it halts to only an occasional beat,
Finally, we hear nothing, as the chords swell to bring down the curtain on one
of history ’s most glorious and proud women.
I  can thank my soprano friend, Maria Ferrantc, for introducing me to the
wonderful  song  cycle  No  Ordinary  Woman!  which  was  commissioned  by
soprano  Denise  Walker and pianist  Estrid  Eklo f  for  its  premiere  at  Brown
University in  December 1997.  1 am compelled to write about the composer,

Dr.  Gwyneth  Walker,  since  she  is  the  only  woman  composer,  the  only
A merican, as w ell as the most contemporary one (b. 194 7) in today ’s program.
She  is a  graduate  o f Brown Univ ersit y  and the  Hartt  School o f Music, and

holds B.A., M.M. and D.M.A degrees in composition.  A former faculty
member  of  the  Oberlin  College  Conservatory,  she  resigned  from
academia in 1 982 to compose music fulltime.  She now lives on a dairy
farm in  Braintree,  Vermont, and  is  a  recipient  of the  2000  Lifetime
Achievement Award  from the Vermont Arts Council.
The cycle’s rich text was written by the A fro­American poet laureate
Lucille Clifton.  Clifton, Maryland’s poet laureate from 1979 to 1985,
has led anything but an abstract life.  She grew up poor in Buﬀalo and
was abused by her father, something she will not let get in the way of
seeing  him  as  an  individual,  a  ﬂawed  but whole  person.  “I  identify
myself in many ways,” she told Jean Marbella of The Baltimore Sun in
1996.  “Victim is not one of them.  One goes on i f one can.”:  Her words
are  strong  like  a tasty heavy meal  peppered with piquant  words that
trickle over the tongue.  Clifton’s humor is wonderfully bold, even as her
writing itself is subtle; this is one strong woman who has lived a full and
thorough  life  and celebrates her  femaleness.  This is strong beautiful

every aspect. Slim, even willowy, she creates a devoted companion who seeks
to do right, but sets loose forces beyond her comprehension. Mitchell­Velasco’s
mezzo  is  beautiful,  compact  and  supple,  oﬀering  an  unbroken  legato
unmatched since her mentor, the great Christa Ludwig, commanded the role.
To hear her pour forth measure after measure of inexhaustible tone carries one
back to the era when Wagnerian titans regularly trod the world stages.

�Facade : An Entertain ment
With Poems by Edith Sitwell (1887­1964) and
Music by William Walton (1902­1983)
1. Hornpipe
Sailor come
To the drum
Out of Babylon;
Hobby­horses
Foam, the dumb
Sky rhinoceros glum
Watched the courses of the breakers ’ rocking­horses and with Glaucis,
Lady Venus on the settee of the horsehair sea!
Where Lord Tennyson in laurels wore a gloria free,
ln a borealic iceberg came Victoria; she
Knew Prince Albert’s tall memorial took the colours of the ﬂoreal
And the borealic iceberg: ﬂoating on they see
New­arisen Madam Venus for whose sake from far
Came the fat and zebra’d em peror from Zanzibar
Where like golden bouquets lay far Asia, Africa, Cathay,
All laid before that shady lady by the ﬁbroid Shah.
Captain Fracasse stout as an y water­butt came, stood

With Sir Bacchus both a­drinking the black tarr’d grapes’ blood
Pl ucked among the tartan leafage
By the furry wind whose grief age
Could not wither — like a squirrel with a gold star­nut.
Queen Victoria sitting shocked upon the rocking horse

Of a wave said to the Laureate, “This minx of course

ls as sharp as any lynx and blacker­deeper than the drinks and quite as

Hot as  any hottentot, without remose!

For the minx ’, Said she,
‘And the drinks, You can see

Are hot as any hottentot and not the goods for me! ’

�5. Through Gilded Trellises

‘Through gilded trellises
Of the heat, Dolores,
Inez, Manuccia,
Isabel, Lucia,
Mock Time that ﬂies.
“Lovely bird, will you stay and sing,
Flirting your sheened wing, —
Peck with your beak, and cling
To our balconies?”
They ﬂirt their fans, ﬂaunting —
“O silence, enchanting
As music!” then slanting
Their eyes,
Like gilded or emerald grapes,
They take mantillas, capes,
Hiding their simian shapes.
Sighs
Each lady, “Our spadille
ls done. ”... ”Dance the quadri lle
From Hell ’s towers to Seville;
Surprise
Their siesta,” Dolores
Said. Through gilded trellises
Of the heat, spangles
Pelt down through the tangles
Of bell­ﬂowers; each dangles
Her castanets. shutters
Fall while the heat mutters.
With sounds like a mandoline
Or tinkled tambourine.
Ladies, Time dies!’

�6. Tango­Pasodoble

When – Don ­­
Pasquito arrived at the seaside

Where the donkey ‘s hide tide brayed. he
Saw the banditto Jo in a black cape

Whose slack shape waved like the sea —
Thetis wrote a treatise noting wheat is silver like the sea;
The lovely chat is sweet as foam; Erotis notices that she
Will – Steal – the ­­
Wheat­king’s luggage, like Babel
Before the League of Nations grew —
So Jo put the luggage and the label
In the pocket of Flo the Kangaroo.

Through trees like rich hotels that bode
Of dreamless ease ﬂed she,
Carrying the load and goading the road
Through the marine scene to the sea.
‘Don Pasquito, the road is eloping
With your luggage, though heavy and large;
You must follow and leave your moping

Bride to my guidance and charge!’
When  ­­  Don ­­
Pasquito returned from the road’s end,
Where vanilla­coloured ladies ride
From Sevilla, his mantilla’d bride and young friend
Were forgetting their mentor and guide.
For the lady and her friend from Le  Touquet
In the very shady trees upon the sand
Were plucking a white satin bouquet
Of foam, while the sand’s brassy band
Blared in the wind. Don Pasquito
Hid where the leaves drip with sweet...
But a word stung him like a mosquito...
For what they hear, they repeat!

�7. Lullaby for Jumbo
Jumbo asleep!
Grey leaves thick­furred
As his ears, keep
Conversations blurred.
Thicker than hide
Is the trumpeting water;

Don Pasquito’s bride
And his youngest daughter
Watch the leaves
Elephantine grey:
What is it grieves
In the torrid day?
And why should the spined ﬂowers
Red as a soldier
Make Don Pasquito
Seem still mouldier?

�9. Tarantella
Where the satyrs are chattering, nymphs with their ﬂattering
glimpse of the forest enhance
All the beauty of marrow and cucum ber narrow and
Ceres will join in the dance.
Where the satyrs can ﬂatter the ﬂat­l eaved fruit

and the gherkin green and the marrow,
Said Queen Venus, ‘Silenus, we ’ll settle between us
the gourd and the cucumber narrow. ’
See, like palaces hid in the lake, they shake —
those greenhouses shot by her arrow narrow!
The gardener seizes the pieces, like Croesus,
for gilding the potting­shed barrow.
There the radish roots and the straw berry fruits
feel the nymphs’ high boots in the glade.
Trampling and sampling mazurkas, cachucas and turkas,
Cracoviaks hid in the shade.
Where. in the haycocks. the country nymphs ’ gay ﬂocks

wear gowns that are looped over bri ght yellow petticoats,
Gaiters of leather and pheasants ’ tail feathers
in straw hats bewildering many a leathem bat.
They they haymake.
Cowers and whines in showers,
the dew in the dogskin bright ﬂowers;
Pumpking and marrow and cucumber narrow
have grown through the spangled June hours.
Melons as dark as caves have for their fountain waves
thickest gold honey, and wrinkled as dark as Pan,
Or old Silenus, yet youthful as Venus,
are gourds and the wrinkled ﬁgs whence all the jewels ran.
Said Queen Venus, ‘Silenus we’ll settle between us
the nymphs’ disobedience, forestall
With my bow and my quiver each fresh evil liver:

for I don’t understand it at all!‘

�12. Country Dance
That hobnailed goblin, the bobtailed Hob,
Said, “It is time I began to rob,
For strawberries bob, hobnob with the pearls
Of cream (like the curls of the dairy girls),
And ﬂushed w ith the heat and fruitish ripe
Are the gowns of the maids who dance to the pipe.
Chase a maid? She’s afraid!”
“Go gather a bobcherry kiss from a tree,
But don’t, I prithee, come bothering me!”
She said, as she ﬂed.
The snouted satyrs drink clouted cream
‘Neath the chestnut trees as thick as a dream;
So I went, and leant,
Where none but the doltish coltish wind
Nuzzled my hand for what it could ﬁnd.A s it neighed. I said,
“Don’t touch me sir, don’t touch me, I say.

You’ll tumble my strawberries into the hay.”
Those snowmounds of silver that bee, the spring,
Has suck his sweetness from, I will bring
With fair­haired plnts and w ith apples chi ll
For the great god Pan ’s high altar l ’ll spill
Not one!” So. in fun,
We rolled on the grass and began to run
Chasing that gaudy satyr the Sun ;
Over the haycocks, away we ran
Crying “Here be berries as sunburnt as Pan!”
But Silenus Has seen us
He runs like the rough satyr Sun.

Come away!

�13. Polka

“Tra la la la la la la la la ­
See me dance the pol ka’,

Said Mr. Wagg like a bear,
‘With my top hat

And my whiskers that —
(Tra la la la) trap the Fair.
Where the waves seem chiming haycocks
I dance the polka: there
Stand Venus’ children in their gay frocks, –
Maroon and marine, — and stare
To see me ﬁre my pistol
Through the distance blue as my coat;
Like Wellington, Byron, the Marquis of Bristol,
Busbied great trees ﬂoat.
While the wheezing h urdy­gurdy
Of the marine wind blows me
To the tune of “Annie Rooney”, sturdy.
Over the sheafs of the sea:

And bright as a seedsman ’s packet
With zinnias, candytu fts chil,
Is Mrs. Marigold’s jacket
As she gapes at the inn door still,
Where at dawn in the box of the sailor,
Blue as the decks of the sea,
Nelson awoke, crowed like the cocks,
Then back to the dust sank he.
And Robinson Crusoe
Rues so
The bright and foxy beer, –
But he ﬁnds fresh isles in a negress’ smiles, —
The poxy doxy dear,
As they watch me dance the polka ’,

�Said Mr. Wagg like a bear,
‘In my top hat and my whiskers that, –
Tra la la la, trap the Fair.

15. Something Lies Beyond the Scene

Something lies beyond the scene, the encre de chine, marine, obscene
Horizon In Hell Black as a bison
See the tall black Aga on the sofa in the alga mope,
His Bellrope moustache (clear as a great bell!)
Waves in eighteen­eighty Bustles Come
Late with tambourines of Rustling Foam.
They answer to the names of ancient dames and shames.
And only call horizons their home.
Coldly wheeze (Chinese as these blackarmoured ﬂeas that dance) the breezes
Seeking for horizons  Wide; from her orizons
In her wide Vermilion Pavilion By the seaside
The doors clang open and hide Where the wind died
Nothing but the Princess Cockatrice Lean
Dancing a caprice to the wind’s tambourine.

‘Daisy and lily,
Lazy and silly,

Walk by the shore of the wan grassy sea, —
Talking once more ‘neath a swan­bosomed tree.

Rose castles,
Tourelles,
Those bustles
Where swells

Each foam­bell of ermine,
They roam and determine
What fashions have been and what fashions will be, –
What tartan leaves born,
What crinolines wom.
By Queen Thetis,
Pelisses
Of tarlatine blue.
Like the thin plaided leaves that the castle crags grew,
Or velours d’Afrande:

On the water­ gods’ land
Her hair seemed gold trees on the honey­cell sand

When the thickets gold spangles, on deep water seen,
Were like twanging guitar and like cold mandoline,
And the nymphs of great caves,
With hair like gold waves,
Of Venus, wore tarlatine.
Louise and Charlottine
(Boreas ’ daughters)
And the nymphs of deep waters,

The nymph Taglioni,
Grisi the ondine,
Wear plaided Victoria and thin Clementine
Like the crinolined waterfalls;
Wood­nymphs wear bonnets, shawls,
Elegant parasols
Floating are seen.
The Amazons wear balzarine of jonquille
Beside the blond lace of a deep–falling ril;
Through glades like a nun

�They run from and shun
The enormous and gold­rayed rustling sun;
And the nymphs of the fountains
Descend from the mountains
Like elegant willows
On their deep barouche pillows,
ln cashmere Alvandar. barége Isabelle,
Like bells of bright water from clearest wood­well.
Our élégantes favouring bonnets of blond,
The stars in their apiaries,
Sylphs in their aviaries,
Seeing them, spangle these, and the sylphs fond
From their av iaries fanned
With each long ﬂuid hand
The manteaux espagnols,
Mimic the waterfalls
Over the long and the light summer land.

So Daisy and Lily,

Walk by the shore of the wan grassy sea,
Talking once more ‘neath a swan­bosomed tree.

17. Yodelling Song

‘We bear velvet cream,
Green and babyish

Small leaves seem ; each stream
Horses ’ tails that swish,

And the chimes remind
Us of sweet birds singing,
Like the jangling bells
On rose trees ringing.
Man must say farewells
To parents now,
And to William Tell
And Mrs. Cow.
Man must say farewells
To storks and Bettes,
And to roses ’ bells,
And statuettes.
Forests white and black
In spring are blue
With forget­me­notes,
And to lovers true
Still the sweet bird begs
And tries to cozen
Them : “Buy angels’ eggs
Sold by the dozen.”

­

Gone are clouds like inns
On the gardens’ brinks,
And the mountain djinns, ­ ­
Ganymede sells drinks;
While the days seem grey,
And his heart of ice,
Grey as chamois, or
The edelweiss,

.

And the mountain streams
Like cowbells sound –­

�Tirra lirra, drowned
In the water’s dreams
Who has gone beyond
The forest waves,
While his true and fond
Ones seek their graves. ’

18. Scotch Rhapsody

‘Do not take a bath in Jordan, Gordon.
On the holy Sabbath, on the peaceful day!‘
Said the huntsman, playing on his old bag pipe,
Boring to death the pheasant and the snipe —
Boring the ptarmigan and grouse for fun —
Boring them worse than a nine­bore gun.
Till the ﬂaxen leaves where the prunes are ripe,
Heard the tartan wind a­droning in the pipe,
And they heard Macpherson say:
‘Where do the waves go? What hotels
Hide their bustles and their gay ombrelles?
And would there be room? — Would there be room? Would there be room
for me?
There is a hotel at Ostend
Cold as the wind, without an end,
Haunted by ghostly poor relations
Of Bostonian conversations
(Like bagpipes rotting through the walls.)
And there the pearl­ropes fall like shawls
With a noise like marine waterfalls.
And ‘Another little drink wouldn’t do us any harm’
Pierces through the Sabbatical calm.
And that is the place for me!
So do not take a bath in Jordan, Gordon,
On the holy Sabbath, on the peaceful day —
Or you’ll never go to heaven, Gordon Macpherson,
And speaking purely as a private person
That is the place — that is the place –  that is the place for me!

�19. Popular Song
v

Lily O’Grady.

Silly and shady,

Longing to be
A lazy lady,
Walked by the cupolas, gables in the
Lake’s Georgian stables,
In a fairy tale like the heat intense,
And the mist in the woods when across the fence
The children gathering strawberries
Are changed by the heat into negresses,
Though their fair hair
Shines there
Like gold­haired planets, Calliope, lo,
Pomona, Antiope, Echo, and Clio.
Then Lily O’Grady,
Silly and shady,
Sauntered along like a
Lazy lady.
Beside the waves ’ haycocks her gown with tucks
Was of satin the colour of shining green duc ks,
And her fol­de­rol
Parasol
Was a great gold sun o’er the haycocks shining,
But she was a negress black as the shade
That time on the brightest lady laid.
Then a satyr, dog­haired as trunks of trees,

O

Began to ﬂatter, began to tease,

And she ran like the nymphs with golden foot
That trampled the strawberry, buttercup root,
In the thick gold dew as bright as the mesh
Of dead Panope ’s golden ﬂesh,
Made from the music whence were born
Memphis and Thebes in the ﬁrst hot morn,
— A nd ran, to wake
In the lake,
Where the water­ripples seem hay to rake.
And Charlottine,
Adeline,

�Round rose­bubbling Victorine,
And the other ﬁsh
Express a wish
For mastic mantles and gowns with a swish;
And bright and slight as the posies
Of buttercups and of roses,
And buds of the wild wood­lilies
They chase her, as frisky as ﬁllies.
The red retriever­haired satyr
Can whine and tease her and ﬂatter,
But Lily O’Grady,
Silly and shady,
In the deep shade is a lazy land;
Now Pompeys  dead, Homer’s read,
Heliogabalus lost his head,
And shade is on the brightest wing,
And dust forbids the birds to sing.

20. Fox­Trot “Old Sir Faulk”

Old – Sir ­­ Faulk,
Tall as a stork,

Before the honeyed fruits of dawn were ripe, would walk,
And stalk with a gun

The reynard­coloured sun,
Among the pheasant­feathered corn the unicorn has torn, forlorn the
Smock­faced sheep
Sit ­ And ­­ Sleep;
Periwigged as William and Mary, weep
‘Sally, Mary, Mattie, what’s the matter, why cry?’
The huntsman and the reynard­coloured sun and I sigh;
‘Oh, the nursery­maid Meg
With a leg like a peg
Chased the feathered dreams like hens, and when they laid an egg
In the sheepskin
Meadows
Where

The serene King James would steer
Horse and hounds, then he
From the shade of a tree
Picked it up as spoil to boil for nursery tea,’ said the mourners.
In the
Corn, towers strain,
Feathered tall as a crane,
And whistling down the feathered rain. old Noah goes again –­
An old dull mome
With a head like a pome,
Seeing the world as a bare egg,
Laid by the feathered air; Meg
Would beg three of these
For the nursery teas
Of Japhet, Shem, and Ham; she gave it
v

Underneath the trees,

Where the boiling Water Hissed,
Like the goose­king ’s feathered daughter — kissed.

Pot and pan and copper kettle
Put upon their proper mettle,

Lest the Flood –­ the Flood ­–  the Flood begin again through these!

�ABOUT THE MUSIC
Facade, An Entertain ment, was collaborated by William Walton,
Edith Sitwell, and her two brothers in Oxford in 1922 during his 15
year stay with the family.  Edith  Sitwell  quotes  “The  poems  in

Facade  are  abstract  poems,  that  is,  they  are  patterns  in  sound.
They are, too, in many cases, virtuoso exercises in techni que of an

extreme diﬀiculty.”  Twenty one of Sitwell ’s poems were set to
music  by Walton, the  19  year  old  student  greatly  interested  in
modern music and popular British dance music of the 1920’s.  His
interests  are  obvious  in  the  chamber  music  for  the  poems,  the
familiar rhythms of the foxtrot, music  hall dances, circus music,
tarantella  and  tango  are  combined  with  angular  pieces,  musical
dissonance and lyrical sections.  The poems and music are meant
to  be  savored  as  sound,  unclear  and  abstract,  but  beautifully
integrated.

Concerto in D Minor for Oboe, strings, and  basso continuo is
considered  Alessandro  Marcello ’s  best  known  work.  Johann
Sebastian Bach noted its worth when he transcribed the work for
harpsichord (BWV974).  Marcello’s other works include cantatas,
arias, canzonets, and violin sonatas.
Saxsounds III, Diminishing Retu rns (1978), was written while
Galante  was  a  student  in  composition  and  saxophone  at  the
University of Michigan.  Both his saxophone teacher and  his  is

composition  teacher  encouraged  him  to  write  a  work  that

incorporated the saxophone with the latest sound technology.  The
resulting duet is played through a digital delay unit that produces
an  ostinato  and  provides  pulse  and  mood  throughout  the  piece.
The saxophonists  produce  traditional  sounds as  well  some  non­
traditional sounds (vocal sounds and multi­phonics) that make the
saxophone  not  only a  wind  and  percussive  instrument,  but  part
human at times.
Valencia :  I berian  Musings  for  Mari m ba  and  Saxophone
Quartet  is  dedicated  to  the  Empire  Saxophone  Quartet  and
Gordon  Stout.  The  work  was  inﬂuenced  by a  trip to  Spain  in
September  of  1997  by  composer  David  Kechley.  The  ﬁrst

�l

l

vl

l

movement,  ....on  the edge,  is  a  fast,  relentless  piece  with  the
marimba  maintaining  a  perpetual  motion  punctuated  by  the
saxophone ’s exclamatory remarks.  The second movement, Prayer
and  La m ent  with  Inter jections  juxtaposes  several  moods
requiring  the  marimba  and  saxophones  to  reverse  roles.  The
marimba opens the “prayer” using its ability to create organ­like
sustained  sounds.  The  saxophones  later  articulate  the  “lament”
against this backdrop.  Please refrain......, the third movement,

refers to the  playful  vam p that sets the  pace  for this  energetic,

rondo­like  movement.  The opening rhythm was suggested by a
Cedar  Walton  tune,  Bolivia.  Despite  the  vamp  element,  this
movement creates variations on the material introd uced in the ﬁrst

movement.

George Hamilton Green began playing at age 1 1 and at 19 entered
Vaudeville,  earning  himself  the  reputation  of  being  a  show­
stopping, virtuoso xylophonist. The Ragtime Rob in was one of
his  six  novelty  xylophone  solos  cut  for  the  Edison  recording
company  that  would  eventually  include  more  than  150  sides.
Green eventually left Edison and recorded for com panies such as
Victor and Columbia.  He  was a noted teacher, performer and
author of pedagogical  materials that remain important today.  In
1946  he  retired  to  become  a  successful  artist,  illustrator  and
cartoonist.
Academy Award winning song, It Might As Wel l Be Spring, is
from the musical “State Fair” (1945), one of Richard Rogers’ early
collaborations with lyricist Oscar Hammerstein II, and their only
collaboration  written directly  for the screen.  Rogers wrote the
music  for over 50 stage and  ﬁlm  musicals and helped make the
American  musical  a  legitimate  art  form.  Keith  Young’s

arrangement o f  this song features a jazz improvisation solo.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.

                  <text>&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Who is Max Reinhardt?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The celebrated &lt;span&gt;Austrian t&lt;/span&gt;heater director &lt;a href="https://www.binghamton.edu/libraries/about/special-collections/research-and-collections/reinhardt/"&gt;Max Reinhardt&lt;/a&gt;, recognized in America primarily for his elaborate productions of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Franz Werfel’s The Eternal Road, and Karl Vollmoeller’s The Miracle, was born in 1873 at Baden near Vienna, Austria and died in New York City in 1943. Reinhardt’s illustrious career takes on added significance because it coincides with a major shift in the evolution of the modern theater: the ascendancy of the director as the key figure in theatrical production. Reinhardt’s reputation in international theater history is secured by the leading role he played in this transformation, as well as by his innovative use of new theater technology and endless experimentation with theater spaces and locales, which together redefined traditional relationships between actor and audience toward a new participatory theater. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a prompt book?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The prompt book is a master copy of the production script and contains a wealth of instructions and information alongside the basic text of the play. As well as the actors’ lines, you will often see cues for music, movement, light, and many other aspects of stage business. It may also contain sketches of how a piece of staging is supposed to look, or which costume a character should wear in a scene. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why are his important?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Reinhardt’s directorial prompt books reflect the ways in which he made plays by major playwrights, including Ibsen, Shakespeare and Wilder, his own. The prompt books contain notations denoting changes in the script, actor moves and technical cues, instructions on how sound, props and scenery were used, and stage drawings. They help us to reconstruct Reinhardt’s techniques and directions in productions. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Acknowledgements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Thank you to the Gladys Kriebel Delmas Foundation who generously provided the funding to make this extraordinary project possible.
