Welcome Back to Oswego! Host William Rogers is here to bring you the 1st episode of the spring semester of On The GOnian. Stories

PODCAST #16, A MUSIC LOVER'S ART This book is filled with poems about classical and folk music I love. Let's begin with Mozart, a composer everyone loves because his music is so packed with great tunes, and his personality is youthfully impulsive. Try “The ‘trumpet concerto'” (312). Beethoven equals him in popularity, and I join in, translating Nikolai Zabolotsky's “Beethoven” (314) and offering a “reply” to the great “Ode to Joy” in my brief lyric, “Beethoven's Ninth” (318). I could hardly choose from the many I've done on Bach: a sample is “Thoughts on a Bach Cantata Strophe” (276). Schubert's “Alder King” (246) stimulated a lively reply Let's try composers from a variety of nationalities. American Samuel Barber is a great favorite of mine, and he stimulated “I want to write what never wasn't there” (329). “Old Man River” from the Kern-Hammerstein “Show Boat” (119) entranced me. Verdi's (“La Traviata,” 96) at Glimmerglass affected me strongly. Russian composer Moussorgsky I love for his “Song of the Flea” (168), and about Stravinsky I wrote in “Rite of Spring?” (332). Finnish composer Sibelius is perfect in his orchestral piece “Tapiola” (217). Spanish “Sarasate” (71) kindled my interest in the music of Spanish verses, too (“Song arising to the mouth,” 269). Another national folk tradition comes through in O'Carolan's tune to which Thomas Moore set his poem “The Young May Moon,” but I have written new lyrics to it! (see Planxty Peyton, 59).

Bill Wages' motto: complicated is easy, simple is hard. He talks about his work on the film, "The Forgiven," the TV series "Burn Notice," "Sun Records," "Into the West," and working with poet Maya Angelou on her directorial project "Down in the Delta." Bill also invented a number of groundbreaking cinematography tools: Tiffen Glimmerglass diffusion filters and two flagging devices known as WagFlags and WagBags.

Allen Perriello, Head of Music for MNOpera and Director of Glimmerglass Young Artist Program, hangs out for a great conversation during the world premier week of The Fix in Minneapolis. We talk audition "strategy," modern music, and a bit about the world of collaborative piano. Special Guest: Allen Perriello.

We’ve spent four episodes talking about how new operatic shows are pushing the form forward. But is the invisible barrier keeping artists of color away from opera really broken or have we just made a crack in it?

The Glimmerglass Festival is presenting a series of public forums in nine cities around the country in 2018. From Atlanta to Seattle, New Orleans to Chicago, members of the Breaking Glass team, Glimmerglass artistic collaborators and guest speakers engaged with the public in a series of lively, honest and provocative discussions. They talked opera, race and social justice and how those ideas resonate in the communities in their respective cities. Paige dives into the forums to bring you the best of what emerged.

Who will sing the roles, design the productions and tell the stories in opera in the 21st century? Paige and Tazewell crack open a ‘behind the scenes’ view of the opera business to explore who decides what we see and hear on stage. They describe the experience of being artists of color writing, composing, directing and performing on Glimmerglass stages.**** Featuring: **Francesca Zambello, General & Artistic Director of The Glimmerglass Festival **Christopher Powell, Director of Artistic Initiatives of The Glimmerglass Festival Naomi Andre, Associate Professor in Women’s Studies, Afroamerican and African Studies and the Residential College at University of Michigan **Helena Brown, soprano opera singer Find Us Online: Website: https://glimmerglass.org/breaking-glass/ Twitter: @GOpera Paige Hernandez: @PaigeInFull, http://paigehernandez.com/ Tazewell Thompson: http://tazewellthompson.com/ Francesca Zambello: http://www.francescazambello.com/ Naomi Andre: https://irwg.umich.edu/people/naomi-andre Helena Brown: https://www.helena-brown.com/ About Us: Breaking Glass is produced by Stacia Brown and edited by Ali Post of Rise of Charm City LLC.

Once upon a time in America, the opera, like most things, wasn’t for everyone. But in the 21st century, some new shows are pushing the form forward to resonate more widely and deeply. Can opera rise out of its origins and touch communities of color with complex histories and relationships to those not of color? Host Paige Hernandez and contributor Tazewell Thompson tell their stories of encountering opera for the first time and their reflections on being recent first-time librettists.

Time to insanely charge into the Leatherstocking Tales. We will begin with the first in the series (although the last one published), "The Deerslayer." So, let's meet Natty Bummpo and his friends as they arrive at Glimmerglass.

This week your hosts talk about some privacy concerns on reddit, Batman vs Superman’s box office performance, and rank their most influential comedians while reviewing Ommegang’s Glimmerglass.

Chicago Tribune chief theater critic Chris Jones tells Naomi Lewin that nothing lights up his e-mail inbox like an opera company staging a Broadway musical using full amplification. "It's full of disgruntled patrons," he said. "You get the natural hall acoustics working – and then you get a miked performer." The controversies go beyond acoustics and amplification – there's also the question of how to blend performers from the worlds of opera and Broadway in a single cast. On the other hand, there’s a huge potential upside for opera houses: the ability to reach new audiences clamoring for the sound of a full orchestra, which has all but vanished from Broadway pits. The trend has been particularly pronounced at the Lyric Opera of Chicago, which in recent years has staged “Oklahoma,” “Show Boat" “The Sound of Music” and now, Rodgers and Hammerstein's “Carousel." Elsewhere, Stephen Sondheim's “Sweeney Todd” is coming to Houston Grand Opera next week and San Francisco Opera in September. Companies in Los Angeles and Washington, DC as well as the Glimmerglass festival have also been bit by the Broadway bug. James Jorden, editor of the opera website Parterre Box and a contributor to the New York Observer, notes that the now-defunct New York City Opera made a staple of musicals in the 1980s. And yet, "opera houses are not made for talking in," he said referring to the spoken dialogue. "Even with very excellent sound design, it's going to be difficult to do 'Carousel,' which is very talky." Jorden and Jones also weigh in on the decline of the Broadway touring circuit and how that has opened up a place for opera companies, and whether more musicals means fewer operas for major houses. Jorden also tells us what musical he believes would be particularly well-suited for the Metropolitan Opera. Listen to the full segment at the top of this page and tell us what you think of the trend in the comments box below.

Ok, so it has been FOREVER since Dustin and I have sat down to record an episode, but we explain why in the show, so check it out, ok?This is our last show of the academic year 08-09, so I hope you enjoy it!In this show you'll find excuses for why it's been so long between episodes, a brief year in review, some flipping through the yearbook, and an if I were in chargeAs always, send me an e-mail at shale2@olivet.edu with any comments and the like.-ScottEDIT: I just realized that I forgot to edit in an audio clip from a previous episode. The clip was from episode 8, in the first minute, where we are explaining a new strategy of doing podcasts more often and at a shorter length. That should put our comments in context. Sorry!

We're back with episode 10 of the GlimmerCast, and we are joined by special guest Junior class president Brad Arthur to talk about goings on in ASC and biscuits/gravy deals around town. In this episode we talk about how we so badly need some new segments, prompting us to brainstorm new ones. Heres some new segments in this episode:"What'd we do this weekend?""Brainstorming for Segements segment""Secret Segment""Prop's and Boo's"so...yeah, if you have any ideas for new segments, send em' along.As always, contact me at shale2@olivet.eduCheers!-Scott

Hey all...so this is episode 9 of the GlimmerCast - The Fanfare.In this episode we sit down and interview Jessica Shumaker, the executive editor of the GlimmerCast. Due to the length of the interview and the utter lack of olivet-news to discuss, we've kept the rest of the episode pretty light this week.In announcements, we're looking for new segments/new helpers with the show, so if you have any ideas or would like to be a part, let me know at shale2@olivet.eduAs an update on those of you waiting for the 4th episode of the Chronicles....it's not coming, sorry. Basically, we must have stopped recording before we were actually done, so it awkwardly ends mid-sentence. If you have an insatiable addiction to our cast (which im assuming most of you have) I can e-mail the mp3 of unfinished 'lost chronicle' to you. Lastly, Jessica's email is jshumake@olivet.edu just in case you didnt catch it in the interview.Cheers,Scott

So it's day three (saturday) of winter break and we're continuing on with our travel chronicles...sort of.See, basically, it snowed, and my car can't handle that very well, so we weren't able to make it as far north as we wanted...but we can pretend, right?In this episode we talk about what it would be like to be in the UP, interview some locals, and compare the Mackinac bridge to the proposed Olivet bridge.FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO THE GLIMMERCAST:If you would like to listen to older episodes, check our blog at glimmercast.blogspot.com .

It's day TWO of the epic GlimmerCast Chronicles as we wind our way through michigan. On today's podcast we explored the small town of Perry, northeast of lansing, Josh bought a donut, and flipped through the latest edition of the glimmerglass.Tomorrow we're getting up early and driving up to Houghton to stay the night at Michigan Tech...we'll be podcasting along the way, and taking a pit stop in Mackinac to interview some locals and see some sights. With any luck I'll find a spare michigan license plate along the way to start building my collection of a license plate from every state.Add us as a fan on facebook (search glimmercast) or check back the blog for photos uploaded soon, and we'll be uploading tomorrow's cast tomorrow night if we have internet access.Enjoy!Scott

It's officially winter break and Dustin and I have taken our beloved podcast on the road...more specifically, to Michigan, the U.P., and (later) Wisconsin. Dustin, Myself, and our cohorts Josh Hjort (yort) and Alex Green are taking the computer and microphones (and cameras) everywhere we go, talking about whatever we see. In this episode we make a pit stop in Olivet, MI, and finally land at home "base" in Perry, MI where dustin and Alex reside. We'll be uploading as often as we get the chance and pictures will be forthcoming (I forgot to bring my cable with me, so that will probably wait until we get back to Bourbonnais).Tell your friends!-Scottshale2@olivet.edu

GlimmerCast episode 8 is here!We're starting a new trend with shorter episodes this week, and we're going to be releasing them more often. This week we bring back skimming through the glimmerglass, and we announce our plans to take our podcast on the road this winter break.As always, feel free to e-mail me your thoughts at shale2@olivet.edu.Enjoy!-Scott

Alright! It's been a long Christmas break (and then some extra days off at the end of it) but the GlimmerCast is BACK! We've got some new theme music for our introduction that we've put together, so we hope you like that.Unfortunately, there hasn't been a whole lot going on around Olivet lately (that we really knew about) so we filled a bit of this episode with long overdue movie discussion, so we hope you liked that. Also, in this episodes "If I were in Charge" -- Olivet's Open House Policy.We hope you like the episode, let us know what you think! My e-mail, as always, is shale2@olivet.edu, so let us know what's going on in your world, and we'll talk about it.-Scott

Ok so here it is (finally) --our 'live' episode of the glimmercast.Basically, Dustin and I set up shop outside of the comfort of glimmercast studios (aka my apartment) and took our microphones down into the red room on monday, Dec. 8 and recorded our podcast in front of a crowd. If you weren't there it might be hard to track with everything that was going on, so I apologize in advance for the craziness of the audio in the episode. In the future when we do live podcasts we will make sure to set up crowd mics to pick up what other people are saying better, along with organizing the format in a stricter way so we don't get a ton of people talking over one another.Regardless, it was a fun night and we talked about a ton of different stuff to close out the podcasting before break.Here in the next week or so I'm going to record a small episode to tide everyone over until we all return to Olivet in January.Enjoy!-ScottEDIT: It seems that for whatever reason the audio completely tanks after about 18 minutes. I went back into the original file and theres something wrong with it that I can't fix. What a bummer. I think maybe we need to equipment as this is the second time that this has happened now.

So it's thanksgiving break and we decided that that's not going to stop us from releasing a new episode of the GlimmerCast.Now, I know last episode we promised to come at you with an interview with Brandon Bauman (of the collapsed lung variety), but we had to rush this episode out the door a little bit. See, usually we record on monday nights, but I decided to sluff off and head home early on friday afternoon so we had to record thursday night instead. I promise you that at some point in the future we WILL have that interview, and various other special correspondences. Additionally, we have gotten quite a bit of feedback lately that I left out of this episode, but I promise that the listener feedback segment will be back in Episode 6.SPEAKING OF EPISODE 6!! It's going to be LIVE! Yes, thats right, we're going to record a live episode in the red room on our regular date of recordings, monday night. This will be Monday, December 8th.Other things to note: Our listener contest is halfway through, and we have 47 downloads of episode 4. If that number is above 60 by December 8 then Dustin and I have to film ourselves gorging on McDonalds dollar menu items--live and on camera.In this episode we discussed turning 5, Red Room TV Policy, Why in the World the Library is Always Closed, and our competitors: Duck Soup.Enjoy.-Scottshale2@olivet.edu

Wow...we're already done with the 4th episode of the GlimmerCast...unbelievable.In this episode, Dustin and I discuss a myriad of topics, including:Reviewing episode 3 (namely, our predictions of how particular events would transpire)'Flipping through the Glimmerglass, which included a detailed piece on collegiate endowmentsand a discussion on how chapel has been so far this year.We also had recorded a segment of "If I were in charge", but technical difficulties put an end to that.Below, you'll find a link to the list of endowments by college in 2007 if you want to take a look at that.In the future we'll have more installments of our various segments, plus some new ones, and some guests on the show to diversify things.ADDITIONALLY, take note of our LISTENER CHALLENGE! It's like the 3rd thing we talk about in the episode so just tune in and we explain the whole deal there.Lastly, if you have a comment or want to get involved, shoot me an email at shale2@olivet.edu, or add us on facebook (search "glimmercast").Make sure to subscribe in iTunes!

Hey all!Episode 3 is finally here, after taking a week off for the busy homecoming weekend.This week we bring you a few new segments, and an actual news story.Don't worry though, all the rumoring and speculation you've come to love is not lost.In this episode you'll find:Upcoming Events(p)Reviews of events that have/are/will be/did happen/happeningNew Segment: Flippin' Through the GlimmerglassBig Sodexo news report and general discussion about recent drama regarding thatNew Segment: If I were in chargeAnd quite a bit more in between.Now, for those of you who tuned in last episode and heard me plug an interview with Jake Smith for the "Better Know a Major" segment, only to be let down by it's absence, I would like to apologize. I recorded the interview with him, but it just didn't turn out very well because I wasn't as prepared as I probably should have been. There are plans to re-record the interview and go forward with the segment as planned in a future episode.Also, WE NEED YOUR FEEDBACK!At this point in the game, we are still carving out our identity as a show. Do you like the informal format we have, or would you rather the show be quick and hard hitting news instead? Perhaps you would like to ditch the news portion all together and have the hosts practice their opera abilities. The only way we know is if you tell us, so send in your thoughts to me at shale2@olivet.edu, or leave a comment at the bottom of the blog.Remember, you can always send in ideas or suggestions, and if you want to help out with the show, we really encourage that.Lastly, if you're not subscribed on iTunes, go do that.

The podcast is the only result you (should) get, so just click subscribe and you're all set. It's totally free, and totally worth the 30 seconds it takes you.In the future, watch for listener contests, new segments, and more. For now, continue to tell your friends about the show and make them listen to it if you like what you hear. Right now we are at around 50 subscribers, which is fantastic, but I know that we can do more than that, so let people know, ok?One last note before I end this post, we've set up a new facebook page, so search for us on facebook and add yourself as a fan. That will be the easiest way to stay up to date with what's going on at Olivet and, more importantly, the GlimmerCast. Have a good one ; )-Scott
