    Toronto Symphony Orchestra Sir Andrew Davis, Interim Artistic Director Friday, December 6, 2019 at 7:30pm Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 2:00pm Saturday, December 7, 2019 at 7:30pm Constantine Kitsopoulos, conductor Resonance Youth Choir Bob Anderson, director As a courtesy to musicians, guest artists, and fellow concertgoers, please put your phone away and on silent during the performance. 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.

In the Autumn months there are still concerts and lectures to attend, but it must be admitted there is a sense of ‘winding down’.

    THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN CANADA ARCHIVES FINDING AID RECORDS OF THE REV. ALEXANDER MACMILLAN AND FAMILY 50 Wynford Drive. Toronto, Ontario M3C 1J7 Telephone: (416) 441-1111 1-800-619-7301 Fax: 416-441-2825 Web: http://www.presbyterian.ca Catalogued by: Bob Anger, August 2002 1 Biographical Sketch of The Rev. Dr. Alexander MacMillan The Rev. Dr. Alexander MacMillan was a minister of The Presbyterian Church in Canada and later The United Church of Canada, and was both nationally and internationally recognized and respected as a hymnologist and expert in the field of hymnody and church praise. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on October 19, 1864, to Thomas MacMillan and his wife Margaret MacMillan (nee Henderson). He had an older step- brother, Thomas (the son of Thomas Sr. through a previous marriage), an older sister, Margaret, and a younger brother, John. He studied at the University of Edinburgh from 1880 to 1884 before attending the United Presbyterian Theological College, "Divinity Hall", in Edinburgh. Through the Student Missionary Society he worked in Canada during the summer and autumn of 1886, visiting and preaching as student minister to the community in Fort Frances in northern Ontario. Shortly after his ordination in 1887, Alexander returned to Canada and accepted a call to the pastoral charge of Auburn and Smith's Hill in Ontario, where he served until September 1891. In 1890, he married Wilhelmina ("Winnie") Ross, with whom he had four children: Ernest (born Aug. 18, 1893), Dorothy (born Aug. 22, 1898), Jean (born Feb. 15, 1901), and Winifred (born Jan.

    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components.

  • Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor
    Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor Abstract: One of Marius Barbeau’s important contributions to heightening awareness of folk music traditions in Canada was his organization and promotion of concerts. These concerts took different forms and involved a range of performers. Concert presentations of folk music, such as those that Barbeau initiated called the Veillées du bon vieux temps, often and typically included a combination of performers. This article examines Barbeau’s “performers,” including classically educated musicians and some of his most prolific, talented informants. Barbeau and Juliette Gaultier Throughout Barbeau’s career as a folklorist, one of his goals was to use trained Canadian classical musicians as folk music performers, thereby introducing Canada’s rich folk music heritage to a broader public. This practice met with some mixed reviews. There are suggestions that he was criticized for depending on an American singer, Loraine Wyman,1 in his early presentations. Certainly, in his first Veillées du bon vieux temps, he used Sarah Fischer (1896-1975), a French-born singer who had made a highly praised operatic debut in 1918 at the Monument national in Montreal. But in 1919, she returned to Europe to pursue her career. Since she was no longer readily available for Barbeau’s efforts, he had to look elsewhere. One of Barbeau’s most prominent Canadian, classically trained singers was Juliette Gauthier de la Verendrye2 (1888-1972). Born in Ottawa, Juliette Gauthier attended McGill University, studied music in Europe, and made her debut with the Boston Opera in the United States. The younger sister of the singer Eva Gauthier,3 Juliette Gauthier made her professional career performing French, Inuit, and Native music.

  • Cultural Diplomacy and Nation-Building in Cold War Canada, 1945-1967 by Kailey Miller a Thesis Submitt
    'An Ancillary Weapon’: Cultural Diplomacy and Nation-building in Cold War Canada, 1945-1967 by Kailey Miller A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in History in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada September, 2015 Copyright ©Kailey Miller, 2015 Abstract This dissertation is a study of Canada’s cultural approaches toward the Communist world – particularly in the performing arts – and the ways in which the public and private sectors sought to develop Canada’s identity during the Cold War. The first chapter examines how the defection of Igor Gouzenko in 1945 framed the Canadian state’s approach to the security aspects of cultural exchanges with the Soviet Union. Chapters 2 to 4 analyse the socio-economic, political, and international context that shaped Canada's music, classical theatre, and ballet exchanges with communist countries. The final chapter explores Expo ’67’s World Festival of Arts and Entertainment as a significant moment in international and domestic cultural relations. I contend that although focused abroad, Canada’s cultural initiatives served a nation-building purpose at home. For practitioners of Canadian cultural diplomacy, domestic audiences were just as, if not more, important as foreign audiences. ii Acknowledgements My supervisor, Ian McKay, has been an unfailing source of guidance during this process. I could not have done this without him. Thank you, Ian, for teaching me how to be a better writer, editor, and researcher. I only hope I can be half the scholar you are one day. A big thank you to my committee, Karen Dubinsky, Jeffrey Brison, Lynda Jessup, and Robert Teigrob.

  • Conservatory of Music Piano Examinations, 1887-2015: Their Impact and Influence
    A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL (TORONTO) CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC PIANO EXAMINATIONS, 1887-2015: THEIR IMPACT AND INFLUENCE TATIANA VOITOVITCH-CAMILLERI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Tatiana Voitovitch-Camilleri, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1887, the Royal Conservatory of Music has maintained its position as one of the largest and oldest community-based music schools and education centres in North America, with an integrated examination body and a comprehensive graded curriculum, influencing and shaping the Canadian musical landscape. For the past 130 years, the Conservatory has presented a wide-ranging art music repertoire for studying piano and offered a comprehensive system for assessing students’ progress through its Examinations, recently retitled as The Certificate Program. The Conservatory’s internal examinations began in 1887, with the external examinations following in 1898. The latter preserved the format of the former and expanded through increasing the number of the examination centres across Canada for both financial and educational reasons. Despite varying opinions of professionals and amateurs on the efficacy and value of the piano examinations in particular from the beginning, this dissertation, using historical sources and interviews, argues that over the years the structure and content of the piano examinations, while innately conservative on the whole, have kept up with a changing demographic of students across the country, and either countered or taken on the many criticisms that surrounded them over the years despite geographical and financial challenges, and indeed competition from other institutions.
