THE YALE GLEE CLUB

The Yale Glee Club is now in its second century. It
continues to expand the musical tradition of Yale which
began in 1813 with the formation of the Yale Musical
Society, a group of twelve men limited to performing
sacred music. In 1826 the Beethoven Society, a much
larger group of nearly fifty members, was organized to
perform secular as well as sacred music. Then, in 1860
thirteen members of the Class of 1863 formed the Yale
Glee Club and the following summer inaugurated a lasting
tradition of Glee Club tours with an expedition through
the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

For many years the Glee Club included banjos and
guitars as well as voices. In the 1920's Marshall Bar-
tholemew as director added serious modern and classical
music to its repertoire for the first time and made it one
of the best male choruses in the country.

The Glee Club has sung in every principal city in the
United States. It has made numerous summer concert
tours to Europe and Latin America, and in 1965 it went
around the world, singing in Asia and the U.S.S.R. for
the first time. The most recent tour, in 1970, took the
newly coeducated chorus to eight western European coun-
tries and featured appearances as part of the Mayflower
Festival in Plymouth and the Holland Festival and in
Westminster Abbey, the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen,
the UNESCO House in Paris, Chartres Cathedral and the
Palazzo Vecchio in Florence. The success of this trip
proved the value of coeducated singing and led to the
formation of a mixed chorus to replace the male and
female choruses that had existed during the first year of

coeducation at Yale.

In addition to generating international goodwill by traveling abroad, the Glee Club has played host to foreign choruses in New Haven. Last year the chorus from Muenster University, that had received the Glee Club in Germany in 1970, paid a return visit as part of its American tour. This spring choruses from Hungary and Uganda will sing with us in New Haven during the International Choral Festival. The Yale Glee Club has participated in such festivals in Europe, and in 1965 it was one of five choruses chosen to represent the United States in the Lincoln Center International University Choral Festival, the largest such event ever held in this country.

Coeducational singing made possible the performance of *Messiah* and Mahler's Second Symphony last spring. This year the Glee Club's first project was a concert of Randall Thompson's music with the composer as guest conductor. In the spring the group will participate in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony to be presented at Carnegie Hall under Leopold Stokowski's direction, and in Igor Stravinsky's *Symphony of Psalms* with the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. The Glee Club continues the tradition of alumni club-sponsored concerts, including this appearance at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Future plans now focus on a Pacific tour for 1973. We
hope to renew friendships with Japanese choruses made
on the 1965 world tour and expand our sphere of musical
influence as well to Hong Kong, the Philippines, Australia,
Indonesia and perhaps mainland China.

BRIGHT COLLEGE YEARS

Meet
the Artists

Soprano HELEN BOATWRIGHT, born in Wisconsin, received her musical training as a scholarship student at Oberlin and at the Berkshire Music Festival. Concentrating on a repertoire which includes both the masterworks of the oratorio literature and the entire range of lieder from the songs and arias of the Baroque through the songs of Charles Ives and Schoenberg's *Erwartung*, she has achieved special recognition for her performances of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Missa solemnis, and for her performances at Bach festivals throughout the United States. Her career has taken her all over the world, from Alaska, to England and Scotland, to Bombay, India; she has performed for the Crown Prince of Japan, the Queen of England and for the late President and Mrs. Kennedy at the White House. Her orchestral credits include performances with conductors including Eugene Ormandy, Seiji Ozawa, Zubin Mehta, Robert Shaw, Erich Leinsdorf and Leopold Stokowski.

Contralto LOUISE PARKER, who has appeared in recital and with orchestra throughout the United States, South America, Europe, the Near East and Australia, has performed with orchestras including the New York Philharmonic, the Vienna Philharmonic, and the American Symphony, with whom she appeared as soloist in Bach's *St. Matthew Passion* under the baton of Leopold Stokowski. Her operatic credits include her performance of the leading contralto role in Hans Werner Henze's *Der junge Lord*, in its American première presented by the San Diego Opera.

Tenor RICHARD SHADLEY has performed in opera, oratorio, chamber music and recital throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa. His orchestral credits include appearances under such conductors as Leonard Bernstein, Julius Rudel, Lukas Foss and Leopold Stokowski. Mr. Shadley is especially well known as an interpreter of Baroque music and of contemporary music, with special emphasis on the works of Stravinsky. A former member of the Robert Shaw Chorale, Mr. Shadley has appeared on CBS, ABC and NBC television, and has recorded for Decca and Vanguard Records. In New York, he has been heard with, among others, the New York Philharmonic, the Musica Aeterna Orchestra, The Little Orchestra and Clarion Concerts, and has appeared at the Caramoor Festival.

Baritone DOUGLAS HILL, born in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, received his musical training as a scholarship student at the University of Wisconsin and privately with Tina Piazza. A member of the Metropolitan Opera Studio, he has, in his two years in New York, achieved a reputation for his performance as soloist in the weekly Bach Cantata series presented by Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. These performances represent his New York concert debut with orchestra.

The YALE GLEE CLUB, founded in 1861, is one of the oldest university choruses in the United States. In 1969, with the admission of women as undergraduate students at Yale, the traditionally male choir became a mixed chorus. The Glee Club makes regular tours abroad: in the last ten years, it has made three South American tours, nine tours of Europe and one round-the-world tour. FENNO HEATH, the Glee Club's Director, is a graduate of Yale and of the Yale Music School, where he studied under Paul Hindemith and Quincy Porter. A former member of the Glee Club, he served as assistant to Marshall Bartholomew, the Glee Club's former Director, before succeeding Bartholomew in 1953.
