We had an excellent celebration, packed Twith events. It started early in September with a display at Robarts Library of more than 100 books authored by geography faculty and alumni. The display was seen by thousands of visitors to the library between September and October. We also put on a special departmen- tal speakers series with the theme of “Intersections” between human and physical geography and between geographers and the community. Twenty-two guest speakers participated and we held special panel sessions on the Tar Sands, Climate Change, the Aboriginal City, and Women and Factory Work in China. The biggest event of the year was a full weekend of activities in mid-September. The weekend began early on Thursday, September 16th, when the Planning Alumni Committee hosted its first Fall Plan- ning Mixer at the Duke of York, in honour of Geography’s 75th. On Friday afternoon, renowned climate change scholar Professor Diana Liverman (MA ‘80) from the University of Arizona gave a public lecture on “Governing Climate”. This was followed by an opening reception and book launch for Reflections on the History of Geography at the University of Toronto. On Saturday, there was a faculty panel ses- sion in the morning on the history of the department and a workshop exploring mapping on the web.

Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.

Canadian city of Hamilton, Ontario. While not necessarily radical in national or inter- national terms, Roscoe’s buildings were certainly progressive in the regional con- text of the day. As reported in a 1960 article on Roscoe in Time Magazine, his decade-long tenure as city architect brought to Hamilton “ten years of lively argument.”1 This spirited debate was the result of his role as a champion of modern design, within the traditional nineteenth- century Victorian city of Hamilton (fig. 1). The analysis of Roscoe’s oeuvre shows that, in the overall context of architec- ture in Canada, he was very much keep- ing pace with new developments and progress in building systems then being explored by architects across the coun- try. Not only did the writer of the afore- mentioned Time Magazine article boldly contend that Hamilton had received “the most interesting modern architecture in Canada” as a result of Roscoe’s employ- ment as their city architect,2 but a review of other references in the popular press, along with documents found in Roscoe’s personal correspondence,3 also uncovers many other accolades that support an assertion of the architect as a pioneer in modern architecture.

  • Deep Listening, Touching Sound

    Deep Listening, Touching Sound

    WHAT IS DEEP LISTENING? What is Deep Listening? There’s more to listening than meets the ear. Pauline Oliveros describes Deep Listening as “listening in every possible way to everything possible to hear no matter what one is doing.” Basically Deep Listening, as developed by Oliveros, explores the difference between the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature – exclusive and inclusive -- of listening. The practice includes bodywork, sonic meditations, interactive performance, listening to the sounds of daily life, nature, one’s own thoughts, imagination and dreams, and listening to listening itself. It cultivates a heightened awareness of the sonic environment, both external and internal, and promotes experimentation, improvisation, collaboration, playfulness and other creative skills vital to personal and community growth. The Deep Listening: Art/Science conference provides artists, educators, and researchers an opportunity to creatively share ideas related to the practice, philosophy and science of Deep Listening. Developed by com- poser and educator Pauline Oliveros, Deep Listening is an embodied meditative practice of enhancing one’s attention to listening. Deep Listening began over 40 years ago with Oliveros’ Sonic Meditations and organi- cally evolved through performances, workshops and retreats. Deep Listening relates to a broad spectrum of other embodied practices across cultures and can be applied to a wide range of academic fields and disci- plines. This includes, but not limited to: • theories of cognitive

Performances take place at the Jane Mallett Theatre – St Lawrence Centre for the Arts, 27 Front St E, Toronto for $25. This season’s concert has a unique flavour. Besides popular composers like John Rutter, we are also presenting a larger roster of Renaissance style pieces that will evoke images of troubadours and an Arthurian holiday. A highlight of the concert includes an original arrangement of Canadian composer Jane Siberry’s masterpiece: Calling All Angels. This song has been recorded by the legendary k.d. lang. Singing Out’s accompanist Beth Hanson was overjoyed when Ms. Siberry personally gave her permission to arrange the song for the choir: “I expected to get a form letter reply, but instead Jane herself replied saying that I could arrange away, then send it to her if I was happy with the results. Trying to notate for the chorus the delicate melodic nuances she sings was a rewarding challenge.” Artistic Director Jody Malone is excited that “we have invited various instrumentalists to join us in this concert, to provide a variety of backdrops for our music. Be prepared to hear some familiar tunes as well as some lesser known works as we plan to delight you once again!” Tickets are $25 and are available online at www.singingout.com, or may be purchased at Out on the Street 551 Church Street, Toronto.
