XXXVI.2 FRIENDS OF MUSIC AT GUILFORD April 2006

Page 2 C O N T I N U O April, 2006

G O I N G O N !G O I N G O N !Four years ago, Friends of Music staged a modest entertainment we called Showing Off: Treasures of the American Musical Theater.  A cast of eight performed several dozen songs, mostly obscure, by Broadway composers, both unkonwn and famous.  Liz Fitzgerald and Zeke Hecker devised a script and, with music director Phyllis Isaacson selected the numbers.  Audiences were delighted and said, as delighted audiences will, “Do it again!”

Hence:  “Going On.”

Same idea:  same size cast (approximately), same creative team, same mixture of lively narrative with musical numbers you either haven’t heard before or haven’t heard enough.  (Our subtitle, this time slightly inflated, is “More Hidden Treasures of the American Musical Theater and Beyond.”)  Different songs, though.  As in 2002, there’s plenty of Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers (both Hart-y and Hammersteined), Vernon Duke, and a favorite team of ours, Maltby and Shire.  Stephen Sondheim inevitably looms large.

But our approach is idiosyncratic.  From Rodgers and Hammerstein, not Oklahoma but Allegro; from Sondheim, not A Little Night Music but Merrily We Roll Along. (Failed shows, both.  Everybody secretly admires failure.  We can relate to it.  And, like our own failures, these were undeserved.) 

We also give you some Harold Arlen, Sigmund Romberg, Frank Loesser, Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, John Kander and Fred Ebb.  Do I hear Irving Berlin?  Would you believe an unpublished song cut from Annie Get Your Gun?  There’s a tune by Kay Swift, the only woman composer represented on Broadway during its Golden Age.  We also have a couple of songs by Edward Kleban.  (Who, you ask?  Well, you know his work, but you may not know that you do; come and find out.)  And, as before, Zeke managed to sneak a couple of his own numbers in when we weren’t looking.  The evening concludes with a medley from the Gershwin brothers’ Pulitzer-Prize-winning satire on American Presidential politics, Of Thee I Sing, which Friends of Music at Guilford revived in a rare full production in 1984.

Our premise is two-fold:  that much of the work produced by the great songwriters of American Musical Theater remains unknown and underappreciated, and that despite frequent declarations of its demise the tradition of American Musical Theater is very much alive.

Going on, you might say.

- Zeke Hecker

A retired orthodontist, Peter Abell has sung with the Guilford Chamber Singers on and off since 1974.  He had several leading roles in various Gilbert and Sullivan operettas back in the 80's.  In addition, he’s sung with the Brattleboro Community Chorus, the Centre Church Choir, in various barbershop groups, and is a member of West River Wild Cats Dixie band, covering banjo and vocals.

Hannah Borochoff-Porte is a 14 year old 8th grade student at Putney Central School.  Along with being a obsessive singer, she studies voice with Margery McCrum.  Her last musical experience was singing in the Choral Music of the Mozart Family concert last October with Friends of Music at Guilford.

Liz Fitzgerald resurrected her performing career after moving to Vermont in 1979, when she took up with the likes of Friends of Music at Guilford.   Since then, she’s both sung with and directed the Guilford Chamber Singers, appeared in stage musicals (most recently our “prequel” Showing Off), tooted her horns (clarinet and saxophone) in area town bands, and formed an a cappella quintet, Blue Moon.   She’s happy to be reunited with the Showing Off production team, surrounded by so many wonderful songs.

When Gay Maxwell isn't busy as Executive Director for Parents and Children Together, she dreams of wearing fifties cocktail dresses on the QEII and re-enacting the role of Susanna Pomeroy on The Gail Storm Show. She holds a BFA in theatre from Boston University, but wimped out after three years of pounding New York City pavement. As a rule, voice teachers make her very, very nervous, with the exception of the late and beloved Benjamin Deloache and the very much alive Kristen Carmichael-Bowers. She is still madly in love with her husband, Jim, whom she met in an acting class in 1978.

When young, Evelyn McLean would tell her family she wanted to be an opera-singing ballerina.  Her ballet career was brief (having danced the part of the queen in Sleeping Beauty and of a tree in “How the Elephant Got His Trunk”) but she’s sung in operas, operettas, music theater pieces and choruses all her life.  She played the female lead in Gilbert & Sullivan’s Patience and HMS Pinafore, and was a nasty queen in Zeke Hecker’s opera, Pericles.  Evelyn also originated the role of Ella in Hecker’s chamber opera, Mushrooms and sang in “Showing Off”, the precursor of tonight’s “Going On. Her husband, Don McLean wrote Patterns, a chamber opera for her, which she debuted in 1980. She tells us “These days it is all but impossible to do a pirouette, but thankfully, I can still sing.”

Carolyn Taylor-Olson is grateful to Friends of Music at Guilford for allowing her the chance to sing in many styles and venues for nearly 30 years.  Making vocal music has helped balance other aspects of her life (mother, doctor, teacher) and enriched many a fond friendship.  She is currently between Acts in her career and enjoying that time by singing in this show.

Wendy McGrath, a resident of Dummerston, has an electic musical background, singing with a rock and roll show band, an acoustic folk duo, in musicals, opera choruses, and to the amusement of her colleagues, in the hallways of the Massuchusetts College of Liberal Arts.  She's worked extensively with the Branch River Theatre and other community theatre companies.

Ben Stockman has been acting in Brattleboro for ten years, through organizations such as New England Youth Theater, Sandglass Theater, Vermont Theater Company, the BUHS Theater Department and even the National Marionnette Theater.   This is Ben's first show with Friends of Music at Guilford.   His musical theater credits include the role of Bellomy in The Fantastiks, Javert in Les Miserables, the Lion in The Wiz and Dr. Parkerin BatBoy: the Musical.

Michael Mario, in high school, was a member of several All-State and All-New England choruses, and appeared in productions of Hello Dolly and Brigadoon. He majored in classical guitar at the University of Vermont, then continued playing and singing, teaching guitar, and writing songs. He is a member of the Guilford Community Church Nine O’Clock Choir and leads the Guilford July 4th Band. Mike was a cast member of Showing Off!

Who’s who in the castMusic Director Phyllis Isaacson holds a Master of Music in Conducting from New England Conservatory. Ms. Isaacson has founded and directed choruses in Maryland and New England, and is as active as a pianist and conductor, performing in both the classical and jazz styles. She accompanies vocal and instrumental musicians in classical programs, and plays piano with jazz combos for concerts, private parties and clubs. As a piano soloist, she has performed with the Boston Pops and Frederick, Maryland Symphony. Phyllis Isaacson has performed frequently with Friends of Music at Guilford and has served as music director of two music theater productions.

Since its formation two years ago, the Brattleboro-based Alliance for the Arts has taken on a number of interesting projects. Consisting of representatives from virtually all the arts-oriented non-profit organizations in Windham County, AFTA’s mission is to provide a focus for the arts in the region and find ways to work together to provide an even richer menu of activities for our audiences. Its first big project was last year’s 05301 festival, in which Friends of Music participated with our Mozart choral concert last October.

Just last month AFTA launched their latest project, a central box office for the Brattleboro community called BrattleboroTix. Located in the River Garden on Main Street, BrattleboroTix offers new ease and efficiency to presenting organizations and the general public, selling tickets by phone, over the internet, and in person. Though there are still some kinks to be worked out, we applaud this idea and have decided to be one of the first groups to take advantage of the new service.

So now, to purchase your tickets to Going On! go online to brattleborotix.com, where you’ll find a listing of all the events currently being sold. Click on the banner and you’ll be taken to a secure page where you can order your tickets and pay for them with your credit card. Once ordered, they’ll either be mailed to you or you can pick them up either at the Brattleborotix box office or at the door the night of the show.

If you’re not internet-savvy, no problem, you can order by phone by calling (802)246-6000, or simply stop by the AFTA office in the River Garden and Anna will print out your tickets for you before your very eyes.

If you still haven’t bought tickets the day of the show, don’t worry, we’ll have all the remaining tickets at the door , so you can get yours then.

We think this is a fine initiative and look forward to feedback about how it worked for you. As we mentioned, there are still some kinks to be worked out: the software’s a little funky, the website still needs some tweaks, but we’re working hard to make it happen and we hope it’s helpful.

For more information about the show and BrattleboroTix, send an email to [email protected]. We’ll send you a note containing the important information, plus the text of the Reformer press release.

View from the BridgeThe big transition-to-the-future news we have for this issue of Continuo is the launch of our shiny new website at:

www.fomag.org

Karen Rappaport, one of our few and treasured 35-year members, volunteered her skills as a professional web designer to completely renovate the site, and she’s done a superb job. Karen Becker’s beautiful Labor-Day painting, which already graces our T-shirts and greeting cards, is on the home page of the site, and when you start to click through the nav bar you’ll see find lots of new content:

= Have a look at the new “Scrapbook” with its easy-to-use slide show.

= Page through the CONTINUO Archives! Did the last issue get tossed away with the newspapers before you had finished reading the entire membership-renewal section? Just download it or past issues; we have the past year’s up already and more to come.

= Support Friends of Music by shopping for all sorts of fun stuff at the FOMAG Shop.

= zRead and participate in the BLOG. We’d love to hear comments about our concerts, ideas for the future, anything you want to share with us, and we hope lots of you log onto the FoMaG BLoG.

= Have a look at the website for a big project we have going, the Vermont Organ and Church Music Intensive. This will be a course for organists and conductors, held at the Organ Barn in July.

= Browse through our Upcoming events and get directions to the venues.

All this new web activities come at a cost: hosting on a new server, soft/hardware,

additional admin time. You can imagine about our budget for things like this. So to try to

offset those costs a bit, we’re having a special little internet-only fundraiser, with a special

reward! If you go to our store page at fomag.org you’ll see three little things we’re

offering. The price you see reflects the cost of the item plus a $20 contribution to our

Equipment Fund, where it will be specially earmarked for fomag.org-related expenses.

The genuine, one-of-a-kind, Friends of Music fundraising white Bear.

MEMBERSHIPSLOTS of membership activity to catch up on! Firstly, let’s welcome a handful of new members: The Rev. Norman and Linda Runnion, residing in Brookfield, joined after Norm’s son was named Friends of Music’s Administrator! Norm was the longtime editor of the Brattleboro Reformer, and Linda’s a singer with the Onion River Chorus. in Montpelier. Don Sawyer is a neighbor in the Bee Barn in Guilford, where we have our office. Known by the moniker of Diner Don, he is known throughout the state for his paintings of diners. He has dozens on display at the Putney Diner, and they’re marvellous. After an absence, Bonnie & Stephen Stearns of Brattleboro rejoined us; we’re glad to have them back!

Somehow in the production of the last issue of Continuo a whole page of Membership renewals went unacknowledged! So we have quite a few this month, and apologies to those who looked in vain for their names in the last issue. William McClellan of Guilford renewed for a seventh year, and Brattleboro resident Justine Trowbridge rejoined for her sixth year, including a General Fund gift. The Pell Family from New York City are 4-year members; they sent a generous gift to the General Fund along with their membership. From Marlboro, former trustee Andrea J. Matthews rejoined along with husband Thomas J. Toleno for a 14th year.

From impeachment-happy Newfane come Bob Hancock & Chris Terry, rejoining for a seventh year, and sending a General Fund gift. Bob’s a last-minute replacement in the cast of Going On!, and we’re looking forward to hearing him sing! Brattleboro attorney Robert Pu and his family rejoined for the 14th year, and Richard Gale, living in Amherst, Mass., continues his 33-year membership. Irene Miller, of Harrisburg, NH, is an 8-year member now, and also from the Granite State come Roger & Cathrine Wilken, Hinsdale residents who return for their 16th year and send a General Fund contribution. Additionally, Roger’s company, Clear Solutions, Inc., made us a generous corporate gift, for which we thank them.

Donald, Judith and Anne Kinley of Brattleboro have rejoined for 14th year, and sent a little something for the General Fund. We stay in Brattleboro for a while as we thank Paul D. Frelich (20 years), Peter & Marion Abell, (13) and Friends of Music Trusttee Charlotte Snyder (12 years) for their continued membership and support. Charlotte’s membership was renewed automatically this year as a result of her participation in the multi-year Friends for the Future campaign. Additional “FFTF” donors with free memberships include Board-of-Trustees president Karen Bressett (12 years), Alison Hannon (33years), and Trustee Marjory McCrum & Casandra Coughlin (11 years).

Doug Cox, president of the board of the BMC, rejoined along with his family, Lisa, Jeremy & Nathaniel. The Cox’s also included a lovely gift to the General Fund to mark their 19th year as Members. Karen & Randy Hesse, now 5-year members living in Bratt, renewed their membership along with Guilford’s Frank & Sarah Kotkov, seven-year members. Rosanne & Randy Stern, from Cambridge, Massachusetts (seven year-ers) and Francis E. Forman (14 yrs) from Neshanic Station, NJ renewed their memberships, as did Jane K. & Andrew R. Thompson, 17-year Members from faraway Naches, Washington. Back to the Green Mountain State, William McKim & Cheryl Wilfong renewed for a 22nd year from East Dummerston, Brattleboro’s Marya Koskoris re-upped for a third year (and included a General Fund gift), and Betsy Bates & Neil Quinn of Guilford returned for the 17th year.

William F. Bodine of Whitingham has been a Member since 1981, Brattleboro’s Deedee & Marcy Jones in 1998, Susan Florey, from Dummerson, joined in 1992, and Donald L. Skekel of Putney joined just recently, in 2004.

Boo-Boo BoxSeveral members pointed out an editing error in the last issue. Bob Rueter’s wife is named Joanna, not Hannah. And festive as it may be, it’s Mary Ellen Bixby, not Merry Ellen. Sorry!

Freed of Guilford, 29-years, Brattleboro’s Beth Kiendl, a member for 2 years now, and old friends Carolyn Taylor-Olson & Allan James Olson, 30-year Members from Brattleboro.

Patsy Rogers & Lucille Goodman (North Suffolk, NY) go way back with our organization; they joined in 1976, and Patsy is the composer of two of our Stage productions. As Friends For the Future donors their membership was renewed automatically, as was that of Scott, Mary Just, Justin & Wilson Skinner, 35-year Members from Montpelier.

Thanks to Rober Larrivee, a 17-year Member from Marlboro, for his renewal, as well as to Windham clarinettist Alison Schantz for the

General Fund gift she sent along with her renewal. Sharon Robinson & Jaime Laredo of West B. returned for their fourth year; anyone lucky enough to be present at his recent concert with Leon Fliescher will agree that we are fortunate to have musicians of their caliber among us. We go to New London, NH, to greet Richard & Marilyn Kellom, renewing an 18-year membership, then down to Berlin, Maryland, for a wave to Sylvia Schiff as she returns for her 29th year. Three more Friends For The Future

MORE MEMBERSHIPSJust a few more and we’ll be completely caught up! (By the way, sorry about this, but remember our membership fees, like everything else in life, have crept up a bit; we now ask for $25 for individual membership. A few of you either had the old envelope and got away with it, or were so used to sending us 15 bucks that the numbers were a little off! No problem, the “grace period” is sort of forever, but we do appreciate the increased amount and it makes a considerable difference in our day-to-day operations. So back to the thankyous!

Ruth Wilmot, William F. and Rachael W. Warriner of Brattleboro renewed their membership, as did Christopher M. Parker of Guilford, who slipped a contribution to the General Fund into his envelope as well. Barbara Oles, Guilford Town Clerk, renewed for her 7th year and fellow Guilfordites Eric. Dale, Skye & Rosetta Morse are also back with us for the 17th year. Eric’s a mover in the “Friends of Algiers” iniciative, aiming to improve the center of Algiers village. Our offices being right there in downtown Algiers, we wish him the best in those endeavors. Henry & Melinda Taggard, residents of Brattleboro, have re-upped for a twelfth year, sending us a nice General Fund gift. From Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Nancy Barber, has renewed for the 7th year. (She has family up this way.) Trumpeter Howard “Dr. Bebop” Brofsky, of Brattleboro, is back for his 12th year; Louise & Bill Krieger of Sunderland, Mass., have been members for twice as long as Mr. Brofsky, and included a General Fund gift. Louse was soprano soloist in Zeke Hecker’s Bemused.

Leah & Farren Bratton, along with Cory & Sascha, sent us a 13th-year renewal from their home in Brattleboro; he’s a tenor with the Chamber Singers, and they sent a General Fund contribution as well. Another Chamber Singer, Gladys Clemens of Brattleboro, renewed for her eleventh year; we’re grateful for her willingness to volunteer to help Friends of Music as an usher and pianist. From Marlboro comes Augusta Bartlett, a 24-year Member, and we swing down the mountain and along the river to Vernon to thank Barbara Emery Mosely, who renewed for her 16th year and sent a General Fund gift as well. “Hawk of All Trades” Hal W. Kuhns seems to have enjoyed being a Friends of Music Member for his first year - he renewed for another year and sent a lovely contribution to the General Fund. From West Guilford, 15-year Members Ted & Barb Borek renewed their membership, and so did Williamsville’s James (an ex-Trustee) & Barbara Brisson, sending a General Fund gift along as well.

And last but not least, a cross-continental hello to Drs. Laurence D. and Janice E. Hoffman of Claremont, California. Back in the ’70s Jan Long, as she was known in those days, was a Trustee of Friends of Music and conducted the Chamber Singers. An administrator for a certain Algiers-based music organization has very fond memories of Jan’s too-short stint as choral conductor at Brattleboro Union High School, and sends special greetings!

A basset horn.

Helen Martha (Kuepp) du MontHelen Martha (Kuepp) du Mont of Wilmington, 78, died peacefully at Bennington Hospital on Monday, Feb. 27, 2006, following a long illness.She was born on July 24, 1927, in New York City. In 1951, she received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Queens College, where she met Kingsley A. du Mont. They were married shortly thereafter and had three children; Ruth, David, and Andrea, who survive her.Mrs. du Mont was a social services volunteer and formalized a lifelong interest in ornithology and entomology during the family's residency in Jamaica, where she was involved in several birding journals and organizations. Ian Fleming, author of the James Bond books, lived in Kingston at the time and was also an avid birdwatcher and co-member of the Gosse Bird Club, funded her with the money to publish a monthly broadsheet on Jamaican birds.She was a member of the Wilmington Zoning Board and later in life became an independent tax accountant whose expertise and cheerful reassurances calmed even her most anxious clients.She loved her home on Castle Hill, and Vermont was well suited to her pleasures as she would walk, kayak, fly kites, blow bubbles, garden, gather mushrooms, identify butterflies and wildflowers and enjoy the teeming life of her pond. With fellow naturalists, she learned to play the cello in middle age and for many years was a dedicated cellist in the Windham Community Orchestra and with several string quartets in western New England. Mrs. du Mont is survived by her children, her son-in-law Kurt Schumann, Juliet du Mont and cousins Frank and Rose Mary Bader, Rita Manton and Tony Saliter. Donations in her memory may be made to either Brattleboro Area Hospice or Visiting Nurses Association and hospice, in care of the COVEY & ALLEN FUNERAL HOME, P.O. Box 215, Wilmington, VT 05363.

Jack CaulfieldJack Caulfield, 54, of Putney, died peacefully in the hospice room at Eden Park on Tuesday, Feb. 7, 2006. Born in Manhattan in 1951, he first came to Brattleboro in 1967 while a high school student. He took up permanent residence in the area in 1973. Here, he met his wife of 28 years, Lynne (LaRosa). Mr. Caulfield was a graduate of Cedarville University in Ohio and Antioch New England Graduate School. For several years, he served in Christian ministry in England and Scotland with Word of Life Fellowship and later as the general manager of the Plymouth Rock Foundation (a Christian research organization). For 10 years, he worked for Mental Health Services at the Cheshire Medical Center, where he helped to create inpatient and partial hospitalization programs for adolescents.In the early 1980s, he composed several Christian choruses which are still being sung by congregations in England and the United States. He helped establish the first home schooling organization in Vermont and was a co-founder of Lifeway in Brattleboro (now CareNet Pregnancy Center). As a playwright and actor, he traveled throughout the United States with his one-man show about the life of William Tyndale, the man most responsible for the English Bible. He was also an avid 18th Century reenactor and served for a time as a trustee of Old Fort #4 in Charlestown, N.H. The most important thing in his life, besides his devotion to God, was his family. He is survived by his wife Lynne and their five children, Heather, Hannah, Laura, Nathan and Micah. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to Hope Givers International (a ministry serving the poor of India) and CareNet Pregnancy Center in Brattleboro.

Mary BlairPETERBOROUGH, N.H. -- Mary S. Blair, 83, died peacefully in her sleep on Friday, Feb. 3, 2006, at her home at RiverMead.The daughter of Kenneth Seymour Barnes and Dorothy Locke, she was born on July 16, 1922 in Montreal, Canada. As a graduate of McGill University, she met William S. Blair on a train returning from Vancouver, when she was escorting British children escaping from the Blitz and he was serving in the Canadian Army. They were married in Seaford, England in February 1945. At the end of World War II, they moved first to Montreal and then to Old Greenwich, Conn., where she was a social worker and earned her master's degree at the Columbia School of Social Work in New York. In 1965 the family moved to New York City and also bought an old farm in Guilford, Vt.Mrs. Blair continued social work until 1973 when the couple moved full-time to Vermont where her husband started the magazine Blair and Ketchum's Country Journal. In 2000, she and her husband moved to Peterborough, and he died shortly thereafter. The Blairs entertained regularly throughout the years, mixing guests from all walks of life and all over the globe. Her love of cooking led to "Mary Blair's Hors d'Oeuvre Cookbook: A Complete Guide to Hors d'Oeuvre Cookery and Festive Menus," published in New York in 1985. In addition to recipes, her book was laced with her advice on living. A longtime supporter of the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, she was also very active in local Guilford affairs, including the library, the school and the fire department. As one of her oldest friends commented, "She had a lot of good innings." Contributions in her memory may be made to Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, 89 South Main Street, West Lebanon, NH 03784, or the Felicity Blair Memorial Fund, Dartmouth Medical School, Hanover, NH 03755.

We mourn the loss of three friends:
