A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER Ever since Home Alone appeared, it has held a unique place in the affections of a very broad public. Director Chris Columbus brought a uniquely fresh and innocent approach to this delightful story, and the film has deservedly become a perennial at holiday time. I took great pleasure in composing the score for the film, and I am especially delighted that the magnificent Toronto Symphony Orchestra has agreed to perform the music in a live presentation of the movie. I know I speak for everyone connected with the making of the film in saying that we are greatly honoured by this event…and I hope that the audience at this performance will experience the renewal of joy that the film brings with it, each and every year.

It was August 10, 2008, soon after I moved back to Vancouver from New York. That day, the Borealis String Quartet performed Imant’s second string quartet and it absolutely mesmerized me. There is a luminous and inspirational quality to Imant’s music. It is profound — there is no other word to describe it. His music touches something lasting and deep and real inside us. This is as true of his choral work as the three string quartets we will hear tonight.

  • NOËL Early Canadian Christmas Music
    NOËL Early Canadian Christmas Music This collection of hymns, anthems, carols, songs, and organ works for Christmas is a glimpse into the musical tastes of Canadians from the earliest missions of New France to the early 20th century. The earliest Christmas music associated with Canada came from the 17th-century missions in Quebec and Ontario. Jean de Brébeuf was a Jesuit missionary associated with Ste Marie, a Huron (or Wendat) village on the shore of Georgian Bay. It is believed that he wrote the Wendat words to create the first, and one of the most haunting Canadian Christmas carols Jesous Ahatonhia (1648), also known as The Huron Carol. In Quebec City music played an important role for the French pioneers as well, particularly around Christmas. In plain-chant style, Sacrae familiae (ca 1684) is structured in a call-and-response form. The Ursuline convent also gave music a prominent role. Among the many unsigned manuscripts is the Christmas motet Magnus Dominus (ca. 1700). After the great upheavals of the French-English wars, and the American War of Independence of 1776, Canada welcomed immigrant composers from Europe. Stephen Humbert (1767-1849), a Loyalist from New England, settled in New Brunswick where he continued the tradition of teaching the "proper" singing of hymn-tunes and anthems and compiled and published a collection, Union Harmony, which includes the Christmas anthem Herald Angels (ca. 1816). In French Canada, Christmas continued to offer compositional inspiration both in and outside the church. Christmas songs rather than official hymns of the church often expressed the people's devotion around Christmas, including L'Enfant Dieu (1861) by Antoine Dessane and Napoleon Crepault's La Nuit de Noel (1887).

I conducted four pieces as part of the recital, including “The Hands that First Held Mary’s Child” by Dan Forrest, “Remember” from Two Rossetti Songs by Stephen Chatman, “The Moon is Distant from the Sea” by David N. Childs, and “Sleigh Ride” arranged by Andy Beck. Preparing to conduct these pieces involved a lot of work, much of which I have included in this thesis, including: researching biographies of the composers, arrangers, and poets associated with the pieces; doing literary analyses of the texts of the pieces; musical observations of the pieces; and critical reflection concerning rehearsal plans, cultivating the sound of the ensemble, and putting together the recital.
