# Clara (opera)

Clara is an opera in two acts and 18 tableaux by Hans Gefors based on a French-language libretto by Jean-Claude Carrière. The opera premiered at the Opéra-Comique at the Salle Favart in Paris on 7 December 1998. This was Gefors' fifth opera; he had previously composed full-length stage works for the Royal Swedish Opera (Christina, 1986) and for Wiesbaden Opera (Der Park, 1992).

## Background

The work was commissioned from Gefors in 1995 and the composer and librettist met in Paris that year. Having received the first drafts of the text the following year, Gefors began composition in April 1997. The opera is written for traditional acoustic orchestral forces plus some electronic instruments. For the premiere production, the director was Günter Krämer with sets and costumes by Gottfried Pilz; lighting was designed by Fabrice Kebour.
The opera was later performed in the same production at the Stadt Theater in Bern on 3 November 2000. It was mounted at the Royal Swedish Opera on 12 May 2001 (in Swedish) with Susann Végh in the title role and Werner Seitzer conducting. The production was recommended to be viewed by adults only. Two performances took place in Gothenburg the following May.

Sprague arrived at Naumkeag (Salem) in mid-July 1629 with his brothers Ralph and Richard. They were employed by Governor Endecott to explore and take possession of the country westward. They explored the land to (present day) Charlestown, Massachusetts, between the Mystic and Charles rivers, where they made peace with the local Indians. On February 10, 1634, the order creating a Board of Selectmen was passed, and Richard and William Sprague signed it.
Sprague lived in Charlestown until 1636, before moving to Hingham, where he was one of the first planters. His house lot, on Union St. "over the river" was said to be the pleasantest lot in Hingham. He was active in public affairs, and was Constable, Fence Viewer, etc. Sprague’s will names his wife, Millicent (Eames), and children, Anthony, Samuel, William, Joan, Jonathan, Persis, Johanna and Mary.

# William Ward (Texas soldier)

William Ward (ca.? – 1836), was a Macon, Georgia native, who answered the appeal from Texas, during the Texas Revolution. He recruited men from Georgia and led the Georgia Battalion.

## Georgia native

William Ward and Dr. Robert Collins first held a public meeting in Macon on November 12, 1835, to organize an infantry battalion in answer to the plea from Texas to join the Texas Revolution.

## Texas Revolution

Ward recruited 120 men from Milledgeville, Columbus, and Macon, Georgia. From these 120 men, he formed them into three companies. With the use of the Georgia State arsenal, he personally armed, supplied, and booked passage for them to Texas at his own expense. Ward passed through Georgia to New Orleans adding recruits along the way, numbering 220 by the time they set sail for Texas. James Fannin, a Georgian himself, personally met the group in Velasco, Texas, on December 20, 1835. Ward was elected as major in Texas service.
On February 7, 1836, Ward and his troops officially formed the Georgia Battalion at Refugio, Texas and he was elected lieutenant colonel. On February 12, the Georgia Battalion traveled with Fannin to Goliad. It was here at Fort Defiance, that they would serve Texas. Ward would serve as a member of Fannin's staff through March 12.
On March 13, Fannin ordered Ward and the Georgia Battalion to go to the aid of Amon B. King's and his company, who were besieged in the Nuestra Señora del Refugio Mission in Refugio. Although successful in breaking up the siege on the 13th, the arrival of Ward at Refugio initiated a conflict over command between the two officers. This in-fighting caused the insurgents to break into several smaller detachments. King would now leave and attack a nearby ranch, believed to be Centralistas. Ward was left defending the Mission. When Mexican forces neared 1500 and thus became overwhelming, the Texians fled the battle during the night.
On March 22, Ward and the Georgia Battalion (80 men plus Ward), surrendered after escaping from the Battle of Refugio. About 26 men were retained at Victoria as laborers, but 55 prisoners were marched into Goliad, on March 25. Ward and his captured battalion were executed on March 27, 1836, in the Goliad Massacre.

He held the living of St Philip, Birmingham and became Treasurer of Lichfield Cathedral in 1734. One of the "Lichfield literati", an example of his skills in improvised verse is preserved by Anna Seward.
One of his sons, Richard, became a General. Another, William, was Archdeacon of Coventry, and it was he (according to the inscription) who had the monument to his father set up in Birmingham Cathedral. William had also daughters, one of whom, Mary (born 1745), married the Right Revd. Spencer Madan, Lord Bishop of Peterborough; and, dying in 1827, she was buried at Lichfield in the same vault as her brother General George Vyse.

# Ebenezer Platt Rogers

Ebenezer Platt Rogers (December 18, 1817 – October 22, 1881) was an American minister and author.
Rogers, the son of Edmund J. and Rebecca (Platt) Rogers, was born in the City of New York, December 18, 1817. In 1831 his parents removed to a country residence in Fairfield, Conn., from which place the son entered Yale College. The sudden death of his father, in June, 1835, terminated his college course the next year; but he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1844, and was thenceforth enrolled with his class.
He was engaged for a time in mercantile pursuits, and in 1837 entered the Princeton Theological Seminary, but after a year was compelled to suspend his studies by weakness of the eyes. After two years of outdoor life in the country, he resumed his preparation for the ministry, in Fairfield and in Hartford, Conn. He was married in the latter place, Feb. 26, 1839, to Elizabeth, daughter of John Caldwell, Esq., who survived him.
Nov. 4, 1840, he was ordained pastor of the Congregational church of Chicopee Falls, Mass., and in 1843 removed to the charge of the Edwards Congregational Church in Northampton, Mass. In December, 1846, he resigned, in order to recruit his health by a Southern residence, and while in Augusta, Ga., was invited to supply temporarily the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church in that city; his services proved so acceptable that he was called to the pastorate, and he held that position from 1847 to 1854, when he became pastor of the Seventh Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. In November, 1856, he was installed pastor of the North Reformed Dutch Church, of Albany, N. Y., and after six years of acceptable and useful service there, became pastor of the South Reformed Church in New York City, where he labored until the failure of his health obliged him to offer his resignation, in February, 1881. A few days later he was prostrated by a stroke of paralysis, from the effects of which he never recovered. He died in Montclair, N. J., October 22, 1881, in his 64th year.
His five daughters and three of his five sons survived him; one son died in infancy, and another—his eldest child—died in the Union army in the American Civil War.
He received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from Oglethorpe University, Ga., in 1853. He had published several volumes on religious subjects, besides many sermons. A memorial sketch has been printed for private circulation.

# Sixteen-bar blues

The sixteen-bar blues can be a variation on the standard twelve-bar blues or on the less common eight-bar blues. Sixteen-bar blues is also used commonly in ragtime music.

## Adaptation from twelve-bar progression

Most sixteen bar blues are adapted from a standard twelve-bar progression. The standard twelve-bar blues progression is
    I I I I IVIVII VV or IVII Twelve bar boogie-woogie blues in C Problems playing this file? See media help.
where each cell in the table represents one measure (or "bar"), "I" represents the tonic chord, "IV" the subdominant chord, and "V" the dominant chord. Twelve-bar progressions are formed by applying one of several formulae, including the following.
One adaptation extends the first section of tonic chords (bars 1–4) by doubling or repeating to become the first half (bars 1–8) of the sixteen-bar progression,
    I I I I IIII IVIVII VV or IVII
Examples include "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man", "Close to You", written by Willie Dixon and first performed by Muddy Waters, and "Oh, Pretty Woman", written by A.C. Williams and first recorded by Albert King (in this song, the instrumental sections are twelve bars).
Instead of extending the first section, one adaptation extends the third section. Here, the twelve-bar progression's last dominant, subdominant, and tonic chords (bars 9, 10, and 11–12, respectively) are doubled in length, becoming the sixteen-bar progression's 9th–10th, 11th–12th, and 13th–16th bars,
    I I I I IVIVII VVV or IVV or IV IIII
Examples include "Trigger Happy" by "Weird Al" Yankovic (the verse has this sixteen bar structure, with additional ornamentation and "turnaround" applied to tonic chord in bars 13–16).
Instead of extending the first or third section, one might repeat the second section. In this version, the twelve-bar middle section (subdominant on bars 5–6, tonic on 7–8) is repeated, often along with its lyrical-melodic material:
    I I I I IVIVII IVIVII VV or IVII
Examples include most renditions of "Going Down the Road Feeling Bad", also known as "Lonesome Road Blues", including those by Henry Whitter, the Blue Ridge Duo (George Reneau and Gene Austin) and Woody Guthrie; and "Sleepy Time Time" by Cream.
In a further repeating variation, the transition from the ninth (dominant) to tenth (subdominant) twelve-bar chord is repeated twice,
    I I I I IVIVII VV or IVVV or IV VV or IVII Sixteen bar boogie-woogie blues in C Problems playing this file? See media help.
This can be heard, for example, in "Watermelon Man" by Herbie Hancock.
In a final style, the transition from ninth (dominant) to tenth (subdominant) twelve-bar chord is repeated once and the last tonic chord bars are doubled in length,
    IIII IVIVII VIVVIV IIII
Examples include "Let's Dance," written by Jim Lee, first performed by Chris Montez, and covered by bands including the Ramones.

## Adaptation from eight-bar progression

Alternatively, a sixteen bar blues can be adapted from a standard eight bar blues by repeating each measure of the eight-bar progression and playing the result at double speed (doppio movimento).
