Tabasco is the name of an opera in two acts composed by George Whitefield Chadwick in 1894. It was first performed on the 29th of January 1894, in Tremont Theatre in Boston. The libretto was written by Robert Ayres Barnet. According to at least one source -a review by Philip Hale in the Musical Courier dated February 7, 1894- the work was orchestrated by Chadwick's student Lucius Hosmer. Composer:George Whitefield Chadwick Form:Opera / Operetta Key:nothing yet, suggest something Instrument:Voice(s) and Orchestra Period:Romantic George Whitefield Chadwick was an American composer. Along with Horatio Parker, Amy Beach,Arthur Foote, and Edward MacDowell, he was a representative composer of what can be called the New England School of American composers of the late 19th century—the generation before Charles Ives. Chadwick's works are influenced by the Realist movement in the arts, characterized by a down-to-earth depiction of people's lives. Many consider his music to portray a distinctively American style. His works included several operas, three symphonies, five string quartets, tone poems, incidental music, songs and choral anthems. Along with a group of other composers collectively known as the Boston Six, Chadwick was one of those responsible for the first significant body of concert music by composers from the United States. The other five were Amy Beach, Arthur Foote, Edward MacDowell, John Knowles Paine, and Horatio Parker. Performed by United States Marine Band

For whatever reason, the sound-level at the very beginning of the aria is anemic—but that problem passes quickly and you hear her in all her glory. Even though Blauvelt made 10 Victor recordings of nine different selections, it's somewhat surprising that her Victor discs are rarities. That said, the newest of the lot is 105 years old! Lillian Blauvelt (b. Brooklyn 1873 / d. Chicago 1947) was as a popular opera singer in New York City in the first decade of the 20th century. Her voice was a lyric soprano with a very pure timbre and dramatic distinction. Her vocal range was from G to D. Lillian was a graduate of the National Conservatory of Music. She sang in concerts in New York City and Brooklyn prior to becoming the soprano of the West Presbyterian Church, 42nd Street between Fifth Avenue and Sixth Avenue, in 1893. In January 1893 she sang the aria for Aida, from Act I, and the duet for Aida and Amneris from Act II, with Mrs. Luckstone-Myers, a contralto. The Sunday concert was held at Music Hall. She performed with the New York Symphony at Carnegie Hall. In the ninth season of Symphony Concerts for Young People,1904, the program was devoted to works by Bizet, Gounod, Verdi, and Richard Wagner. Blauvelt and Edward P. Johnson were soloists with the orchestra conducted by Frank Damrosch. Between Sept. 17, 1903 and Feb. 15, 1906, Blauvelt made 10 Victor records. She recorded the Jewel Song from Faust twice. It's unclear whether the discs were recorded in Philadelphia or Camden, New Jersey. In 1905 Blauvelt signed a six-year contract with Fred Whitney to appear in comic opera. She reportedly received $504,000 for her services, or $2,000 per week. Her first venture after the pact was made was a production of The Rose of Alhambra, written by Charles Emerson Cook and Lucius Hosmer. This was her first step into light opera after working for years in grand opera. Blauvelt received encores until she was compelled to refuse further acknowledgements. In 1906, she starred in Victor Herbert's The Magic Knight. She was a soloist for a February 1905 New York Symphony Concert given at Alexander Hall on the campus of Princeton University. She sang Una Voce Poco Fa by Rossini. Blauvelt was chosen to sing the soprano portion of a Verdi composition at a memorial concert to the composer held in Rome, Italy, in 1905. In December 1912 she returned from a tour in Europe to perform in a solo quartet in The Messiah at Aeolian Hall. This marked her first participation in a New York City concert for a number of years. A review said that her superb voice and style had changed very little. Until 1920, she appeared regularly in London on the concert stage. Later she lived and taught in Chicago, where she died---in 1947. In addition to the 9 titles Blauvelt made for Victor between 1903 and 1906, she made some recordings for U.S. Columbia between 1907 and 1909.
