J OHN B ROWN Opera in Three Acts
Music and Libretto by
KIRKE MECHEM
Act II FULL SCORE
G. SCHIRMER / New York
ACT II Six months later, May, 1856. A bright, sunny afternoon, turning to sunset at the end of the scene. A meadow on the Brown family claims in Kansas Territory: trees, flowers, grass, and a few young fruit trees in blossom. A rough table or two—which are being covered with food and dishes— and a few benches, a rude fireplace where food is being cooked, a wagon, and a part of a log cabin give the scene the aspect of a family settlement where a dinner is about to take place. John Brown’s family and friends are being taught a spiritual by "Daniel," a slave whom Brown recently helped to escape.

(The others form a semi-circle around him, some sitting with their backs to the audience, so that Douglass speaks directly forward. He is a consummate actor who uses all his powers of ridicule, pathos, mimicry and change of pace. He sometimes leaves the platform to walk to and fro. During the speech, Oliver observes Martha, who is placed so that her reactions are visible to the audience. She gradually changes from inattention to intense absorption.)

(A disturbance is heard off stage and men come running toward Douglass. Five of them—Doyle and his two sons, and the two Sherman brothers— are in the lead, carrying clubs and a gun or two. Oliver, Owen, Martha and Annie come out of the cabin and a few others return, but they are not quick enough to prevent Douglass’s capture. They are followed on stage immediately by a troop of uniformed cavalry led by Stuart. A United States flag is carried prominently.)
