Notes:

A revision of the text written by Miller for Hager and published under the former's name in 1870.

J.M. Hager, originally a singer, conducted large singing classes in New York, and exhibited them in concerts. He came to specialize in presentations of this musical "allegory", at first entitled The Great Rebellion and written in 1863 by Henry Morford. Rewritten by Miller and renamed The Great Republic, its themes are reunion, reconstruction, nationalism, and postwar expansion. Hager continued to produce it until 1885, recruiting more numerous bodies of singers such as the teachers and pupils of the Flushing public schools. Cf. George C.D. Odell, Annals of the New York Stage, v. 6-13.
