  • UBC High Notes
    UBC High Notes 2009-2010 Season UBC High Notes The newsletter of the School of Music at the University of British Columbia I am delighted to welcome you to the eleventh edition of High Notes, in which we celebrate the recent activities and major achievements of faculty, staff and students in the UBC School of Music. I hope you enjoy this snapshot, which captures the diversity, quality, and impact of our activities and contributions — we are a vibrant community of creators, performers, and scholars! I warmly invite you to read about the School of Music in these pages, and to attend many of our performances in the coming months and years. The 2009-10 year is a significant anniversary for the School. UBC established its Department of Music in 1947 under the leadership of Harry Adaskin, and initially offered B.A. degrees with a major in Music. The Bachelor of Music degree was then developed with the first students entering in September 1959 (by which time the faculty also included other Canadian musical trailblazers like Jean Coulthard and Bar- bara Pentland). These 50 years have witnessed an impressive expansion in our degree programs, so that we now offer Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral programs in performance, music education, composition, music theory, musicology, and ethnomusicology. What started with a few dozen students has grown into a dynamic and diverse community of over 300 undergraduates and 130 graduate students. Music is thriving at UBC, and we continue to witness exciting increases in the size, quality, and scope of our programs. Our 50th Anniversary year is an opportunity to reflect with gratitude on the generous support the School has received from many donors, and with admiration on the countless contributions to musical performance and education that scores of faculty and thousands of alumni have made over the past five decades — throughout BC, across Canada, and around the world.

  • Pace Final 26.11.15
    Positions, Methodologies and Aesthetics in the Published Discourse about Brian Ferneyhough: A Critical Study Ian Pace1 Since Brian Ferneyhough achieved a degree of public recognition following the premiere of his Transit (1972-75) in March 1975 at the Royan Festival, a range of writings on and reviews of his work have appeared on a relatively regular basis. The nature, scope, style, and associated methodologies of these have expanded or changed quite considerably over the course of Ferneyhough's career––in part in line with changes in the music and its realization in performance––but nonetheless one can discern common features and wider boundaries. In this article, I will present a critical analysis of the large body of scholarly or extended journalistic reception of Ferneyhough's work, identifying key thematic concerns in such writing, and contextualizing it within wider discourses concerning new music. Several key methodological issues will be considered, in particular relating to intentionality and sketch study, from which I will draw a variety of conclusions that apply not only to Ferneyhough, but to wider contemporary musical study as well. Early Writings on Ferneyhough The first extended piece of writing about Ferneyhough's work was an early 1973 article by Elke Schaaf2 (who would become Ferneyhough's second wife),3 which deals with Epicycle (1968), Missa Brevis (1969), Cassandra's Dream Song (1970), Sieben Sterne (1970), Firecyle Beta (1969-71), and the then not-yet-complete Transit. Schaaf’s piece already exhibits one of the most

  • The Nature and Practice of Soundscape Composition Bob Gluck, November 1999
    1 The Nature and Practice of Soundscape Composition Bob Gluck, November 1999 Soundscapes first emerged as a musical genre in the 1970s. They represent a unique musical form that grew out of the encounter between electronic music and acoustic ecology. Its driving force has been Canadian composers and sound artists. Soundscapes would not be conceivable outside of the history and context of electronic music. It was within the latter field that musicians and thinkers extended the boundaries of what constitutes musical sound, as Joel Chadabe (1997) terms it "the great opening up of music to all sounds." Soundscapes also reflect a particular historical moment. Its materials, forms and the relationship between the two (Adorno, 1996) offer a musical commentary on issues arising in the late 20th century western world. Acoustic ecology and soundscapes, a brief introduction The figure most identified as founding the acoustic ecology movement, from which soundscapes sprung forth, is R. Murray Schaefer. Schaefer wrote (1977, 1994): "I call the acoustic environment the soundscape, by which I mean the total field of sounds wherever we are. It is a word derived from landscape, though, unlike it, not strictly limited to the outdoors." Schaefer founded what has become known as the World Soundscape Project (WSP), which has been described by fellow founding member Barry Truax (1995), as: "to document and archive soundscapes, to describe and analyze them, and to promote increased public awareness through listening and critical thinking" and "to re-design

  • 18 Contemporary Opera and the Failure of Language
    18 CONTEMPORARY OPERA AND THE FAILURE OF LANGUAGE Amy Bauer Opera after 1945 presents what Robert Fink has called ‘a strange series of paradoxes to the historian’.1 The second half of the twentieth century saw new opera houses and companies pro- liferating across Europe and America, while the core operatic repertory focused on nineteenth- century works. The collapse of touring companies confined opera to large metropolitan centres, while Cold War cultural politics often limited the appeal of new works. Those new works, whether written with political intent or not, remained wedded historically to ‘realism, illusion- ism, and representation’, as Carolyn Abbate would have it (as opposed to Brechtian alienation or detachment).2 Few operas embraced the challenge modernism presents for opera. Those few early modernist operas accepted into the canon, such as Alban Berg’s Wozzeck, while revolu- tionary in their musical language and subject matter, hew closely to the nature of opera in its nineteenth-century form as a primarily representational medium. As Edward Cone and Peter Kivy point out, they bracket off that medium of representation – the character singing speech, for instance, in an emblematic translation of her native tongue – to blur diegetic song, ‘operatic song’ and a host of other conventions.3 Well-regarded operas in the immediate post-war period, by composers such as Samuel Barber, Benjamin Britten, Francis Poulenc and Douglas Moore, added new subjects and themes while retreating from the formal and tonal challenges of Berg and Schoenberg.

  • 9 Laliberte EN a COR 2
    Actuality and Prospects of Pierre Schaeffer’s Thought Related as it is to the GRM’s 50th anniversary in 2008, this book on Pierre Schaeffer beckons memories, discussions, and development propositions. For my own contribution, I wanted to start by explaining my personal background and its complex ties to Schaeffer and his thought, and then quickly present how Schaefferian thought resonates in various ways throughout the pluridisciplinary department I manage and the research projects we work on. From Québec to Paris Via Los Angeles I received my initial music training in the ‘80s, in an outlying “French” capital called the city of Québec. The various “counter-cultural” – if not ‘68er – movements were coming to an end, movements in which electroacoustic music played a high-profile part as an acknowledged seal of modernity. In Québec, electroacoustic music was mostly carried by two musicians with a Schaefferian lineage: Nil Parent, at Université Laval’s music department, and Yves Daoust, at the Québec Conservatoire de Musique. There were also other active electroacousticians in the Association de musique actuelle de Québec1, such as Gisèle Ricard and Bernard Bonnier. Being a music fan and a curious-minded soul, I went on to work closely with Nil Parent from 1982 to 1987, and trained less closely with Yves Daoust and his pupils. So I was introduced to electroacoustic music composition in general and more particularly to the Schaefferian approach, through the teachings of Nil Parent, who had studied in Québec, Toronto, Stanford and Utrecht, and had been Henri Pousseur’s assistant for a while2. The ‘80s was a thrilling decade, marked by the transfer from analog to digital.
