Overtones

opera in one act

David E. Chávez

piano/vocal score
Overtones
A one-act opera based on the one-act play (premiered 1913) by Alice Gerstenberg.

Cast: Harriet, a cultured woman (Hetty’s overtone) Soprano

Hetty, her primitive self. Mezzo-soprano
Margaret, a cultured woman (Maggie’s overtone) Soprano
Maggie, her primitive self. Soprano

Throughout the score, the composer has added markings like F#M/m (meaning F# major, moving
later to F# minor) to suggest how the singers might want to think in terms of key areas. Due to the
often modulatory and polytonal nature of the music, these key area markings are meant only to
assist in learning the parts and not as hard and fast labels for interpretation or analysis.

Approximate duration: 31 minutes

The following is excerpted from the script of the play:

Time: The present.

Scene: Harriet’s fashionable living-room. The door at the back leads to the hall. In the
centre a tea table with a chair either side. At the back a cabinet.

Harriet’s gown is a light, “jealous” green. Her counterpart, Hetty, wears a gown of the
same design but in a darker shade. Margaret wears a gown of lavender chiffon while her
counterpart, Maggie, wears a gown of the same design in purple, a purple scarf veiling
her face. Chiffon is used to give a sheer effect, suggesting a possibility of primitive and
cultured selves merging into one woman. The primitive and cultured selves never come into
actual physical contact but try to sustain the impression of mental conflict. Harriet never
sees Hetty, never talks to her but rather thinks aloud looking into space. Hetty, however,
looks at Harriet, talks intently and shadows her continually. The same is true of Margaret
and Maggie. The voices of the cultured women are affected and lingering, the voices of
the primitive impulsive and more or less staccato. When the curtain rises Harriet is seated
right of tea table, busying herself with the tea things.

 Overtones was composed during a 2004 Summer Residency with the Institute for the
Arts and Humanities at Penn State University, University Park, PA. The composer wishes
to thank the Institute, Dr. Paul Barsom, Dr. Susan Boardman, his wife Melissa, and all the
other family and friends who helped make this opera possible.

Overtones is dedicated to the cast, crew and director of the Penn State Opera Theatre.
