Musical career
for Marie Macklin
by Martha Fuhrman
It was about thirteen
years ago when Marie Mack-
lin, daughter of Theodore
Macklin of Lancaster, and
Mrs. George Goshea of Mari-
etta, sang her first solo in
the second grade in a spring
program at the Marietta Ele-
mentary School. “I’ve been
singing ever since,” Marie
says.
Singing was not Marie's
only talent. - In the fourth
grade she started playing a
clarinet and also took piano
lessons from Mrs. Johns, for-
merly of E. Market St.
Marietta. By the time Marie
reached sixth grade she had
advanced to first chair for
clarinet in the band at May-
town School, under the di-
rection of Mr. Morrell
Shields.
By the time she reached
eighth grade, the clarinet
had somehow fallen by the
wayside, but Marie was still
singing and playing the
piano. Outside school,
Marie’s voice was heard in
churches and many public
places throughout the area.
She was now studying under
Mrs. Mildred Sloan of Mount
Joy.
In the fall of 1969 Marie
started to attend St. Frances
Academy of Rome, in Balti-
more, Md. This is an all-
black private Catholic board-
ing school run by the Ob-
late Sisters of Providence.
Here Marie’s musical studies
ground to a halt. She kept
on singing. Marie and a few
other girls including a pian-
ist, formed a group, sang at
talent shows, and won prizes
in several contests.
In her sophomore year
at St. Frances, Marie won
the general excellence a-
ward.
In her senior year, the
students put on a Passion
Play for Easter. Marie was
chosen to write the music
and also for the play, to di-
rect the chorus. Sixteen per-
formances of the Passion
Play were given followed by
a command performance at-
tended by Cardinal Sheehan
of Baltimore, Md.
At her graduation from
St. Frances, Marie received
the outstanding teenager a-
ward, the leadership award,
and the creative arts award.
After graduating from St.
Frances, Marie traveled with
the St. Frances Xavier gospel
choir of Baltimore, Md.
In the summer of 1973,
Marie entered the Peabody
Preparatory School where
she studied piano for six
weeks. In the fall of 1973
she went back to Peabody
Preparatory to study piano,
voice and -theory. She was
also living and working at
St. Frances Academy, where
she was in charge of the
music department and also
played the organ.
But now a problem arose.
Marie was having difficulty
Marie Macklin
with her voice. It was raspy,
and her range was shorten-
ed. A throat specialist, Dr.
Berry of Baltimore, deter-
mined that an operation to
remove nodes was necessary.
In February of 1974 the op-
eration was performed. For
two weeks she was not al-
lowed to speak and was not
allowed to sing for six mon-
ths. Marie says she cheated
a bit, because she just had
to find out if she still had a
voice. After her operation
she left St. Frances and
came home to Marietta un-
til time to return to Pea-
body. Just recently Marie
sang in a recital at the
school.
Marie will graduate from
Peabody Preparatory in May
and in the fall will continue
her musical studies at the
Peabody Conservatory.Dur-
ing the summer, Marie will
further her studies at the
University of Hartford in
Hartford, Connecticut,
where she’ will study under
Walter Hautzig, internation-
ally known pianist.
Marie plans to get her
master’s degree in music at
Peabody and then go -on
for a doctor’s degree. An
unusual musical career was
launched by the solo that
little Marie Macklin sang in
the second grade at Marietta
Elementary School.
