Synopsis
The Pageant Of Old Detroit by James Stanton Park. The work is a historical drama designed as a pageant for civic celebrations and open-air production, with a structure built around a Prologue, multiple Episodes, and an Epilogue. It traces Detroit’s development from its founding by French explorers and settlers through periods of conflict and change, including the French establishment under Cadillac, tensions with Native peoples, the transition to English rule, and the rise of an American city. The Prologue features the Voices of Air, Forest, and River foretelling a new era as La Salle’s Griffon appears on the river. Episode I dramatizes Cadillac’s 1701 founding; Episode II portrays May Day celebrations and local tensions; Episode III covers the surrender to England in 1760; Episode IV the Pontiac conspiracy and Gladwin’s response; Episode V Hamilton’s governance; Episode VI the era of Wayne and Hamtramck. An Epilogue envisions a future of liberty and peace. The piece emphasizes history, civic pride, and the collective shaping of Detroit, intended for chorus and orchestra with abridgement as needed.
