    New Trier High School Jazz Ensemble I Winnetka, Illinois The Midwest Clinic An International Band and Orchestra Conference Chicago Hilton Grand Ballroom December 19, 2002 2:45 p.m. The NEW TRIER HIGH SCHOOL JAZZ ENSEMBLE I is the more advanced of four curricular jazz ensembles at New Trier High School. All jazz ensembles rehearse for forty minutes each school day and the students receive a grade for their participation. New Trier also offers four curricular concert bands and five orchestras. More than 120 students participate in the jazz studies program at New Trier. Some of the jazz artists who have performed with the New Trier Jazz Ensemble in- clude... Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabacken, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Jamie Aebersold, Bobby Shew, and more than 50 others listed later in this program. Believing that their graduates are their trophies, the New Trier jazz ensembles do not participate in competitive jazz events. However, Jazz Ensemble I has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festi- val and the North Sea Jazz Festival, twice at the conventions of the Intemational Association of Jazz Education, three times before today at the Midwest Interna- tional Band and Orchestra Clinic, a Music Educators National Conference, and the National Band Association convention. They have performed several times at Ravinia and the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. During the summer of 2000 the ensemble toured China for two weeks with the Cham- ber Orchestra, performing the first jazz concerts ever presented in the three major cities in the Henan Province, China’s most populated Prov- ince.

  • The Integration of Improvisation Into Through-Composed Music
    Different Every Time: The Integration of Improvisation into Through-Composed Music. ANALYTICAL NOTES (volume 1) Paul Cutlan A portfolio of compositions submitted in Partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Music (Composition) Conservatorium of Music University of Sydney 2012 ii STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY: I declare that the research presented here is my own original work and has not been submitted to any other institution for the award of a degree. Signed:……………………………………………………………… Date:………………………………………………………………….. iii ABSTRACT: The aim of this research project has been to write a portfolio of compositions which integrate improvisation with through-composed contemporary classical techniques. The intended result is that the improvised elements aid the development and outcome of the musical argument and help contribute to the architectural structure of each piece in performance. The stylistic elements and structure of the compositions should embrace the aesthetics of improvisation in a way that promotes both coherence and flexibility. Although the written score is an important document of the composer’s intentions, equal importance is placed on the process of creative realisation. It is in performance that the benefits of improvisation can be evaluated in each piece. These will include elements of spontaneity, a heightened sense of engagement of both performers and audience, and unpredictable outcomes. Above all, the integration of improvisation into the compositions will lead to each performance being a unique experience. iv Acknowledgements: I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Trevor Pearce at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music for his guidance and patience, and for nourishing the sense of creative curiosity in me.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.

Developing and Promoting Big Band Jazz in Canada and Beyond Synopsis: Big Band jazz is very much alive in every city and on every college campus in the Western world. Professional organizations throughout North America are actively engaged in big band exploration, creation, performance, recording and education. This article will present what the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is doing to keep big band alive and thriving, and how it is developing ties to like-minded organizations in Canada and beyond. Preamble: What comes to mind if you were asked to provide a definition of a “symphony orchestra”? Most people would respond with a description close to that in the Encyclopaedia Britannica… an ensemble “western classical” musical instruments - primarily strings, though usually complemented by brass, woodwinds and percussion1. If there was one composer that most would associate with this ensemble, it would be Beethoven2, but it is widely recognized that the symphony orchestra has a huge repertoire of masterworks from a great number of composers, with new works being created every year throughout the world.

Project DELTA (Digital Electronic Learning Teaching Alternative) is a plan to meet the CSU's enrollment, facul- ty, budget and deficit concerns, said John Eaird, director of the Institute for Teaching and Learning. Still in the planning phase, the project may entail inter- active software programs implemented in large classrooms or to reach students in remote locations, he said. "You need to have interaction (between students and teachers). I see computers playing a key role but not over- taking the role of the instructor," Eaird said. He attended a conference of faculty members to discuss the project and goals and sample its software programs. Eaird said the programs were very exciting. "We have a real opportunity to explore new technology:' he said. "But learning has to be the key, not efficiency." Some students like the flexibility of not having to sit in a classroom so they can go back and cover things that might have given them trouble, Eaird said.
