Fairy tales are always changing. They exist all over the world. They are as different as the people who tell them. Today, you might read fairy tales in books, but in the past, you would have listened to a storyteller. Stories were passed down from person to person, from generation to generation. They lived in someone's memory instead of on paper. There are many variations of the same stories. Storytellers like to change the details to keep things interesting for the listeners. Some make the stories easier to understand by adding people, places, or things from the local community. Other storytellers like to have scary details to frighten children. Some want to teach you a lesson, whereas other storytellers are just hoping you have fun! Here's a short description of what each story is about: Cinderella - A young woman is unfairly treated by her step-sisters and step-mother. Her appearance is magically transformed for a short time, during which she attends a ball and meets the prince. She runs away before the magic spell ends, but her slipper falls off. The prince asks different women to try the slipper until he finds Cinderella and marries her. Peer Gynt - A lazy and selfish man goes on adventures around the world. In one episode, he refuses to marry the troll king's daughter and must escape from the angered trolls. - 8 - Program Notes Beauty and the Beast - A woman breaks a curse, turning a prince back into his human form by helping him change his negative qualities. Jack and the Beanstalk - A boy helps his poor family by stealing magical objects and animals from an evil giant. - 9 - Program Notes Hansel and Gretel - A boy and a girl outsmart an evil witch without the help of adults. The Firebird - A prince rescues a group of princesses from an evil king with the help of a magical bird. - 10 - Program Notes Prokofiev Biography As a young boy, Sergei Prokofiev had a reputation for stirring up trouble and getting himself into all kinds of mischief! At the age of five, he began to demonstrate great musical talent. Hoping this musical talent would keep him out of trouble, Sergei's parents sent him to St. Petersburg to study music full-time when he was only thirteen years old. Sergei kept his reputation as a troublemaker throughout his entire life. He always pushed the limits when composing music and never cared what people thought. This fearless attitude is what inspired Sergei to write imaginative music that would speak to audiences for generations to come. He composed one of the most famous stories- told-through-music, Peter and the Wolf. "Shawl's Dance" from Cinderella Listen The "Shawl's Dance" is like a musical argument. It takes place when Cinderella's two step-sisters are creating a new shawl for the Spring Ball. The opening sounds of the tremolo strings give you a sense of urgency, with staccato notes indicating time running out. With the shawl complete, the two selfish step- sisters begin fighting over who will wear it. You can hear each one arguing in the quick-succession of triplets on the strings as they grab the shawl from the other. The fighting escalates until both pull on the shawl at the same time, tearing it apart. Did you know? Prokofiev was a talented chess player. He was friends with two world chess champions, and even won against them on occasion! - 11 - Program Notes Grieg Biography Edvard Grieg started learning music at six-years- old. His mother taught him to play the piano. As Edvard got better, others began to notice his talent and recommended putting him through a music school. Although Edvard's father was of Scottish origin, his mother was Norwegian. When Edvard began composing his own music, he was influenced by traditional folktunes from Norway. Edvard was passionate about his Norwegian heritage and would eventually start a school of music that celebrated Norway. Edvard met the famous playwright Henrik Ibsen and was asked to write the music for one of his plays, Peer Gynt. The most well-known music to come from this is "In the Hall of the Mountain King". Its easily recognizable theme can regularly be heard in films and television to this day. "In the Hall of the Mountain King" from Peer Gynt Watch & Listen At this part of the story, the hero is making his escape from a group of angry trolls chasing him. The piece is great example of changes in tempo and dynamics. It begins at a slow tempo, with a simple theme gently being played by the lowest pitched instruments in the orchestra, the double basses, the cellos, and the bassoons.

  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal. NB: The indication [DS] refers the reader to sources that are reproduced in the documentation portfolio that accompanies this article.

He composed his Violin Concerto in 1806, and it was premiered at the Theater-an-der-Wien in Vienna with Beethoven conducting and soloist Franz Clement on December 23, 1806. The Pittsburgh Symphony first performed the concerto at Carnegie Music Hall with conductor Victor Herbert and violinist Luigi von Kunits in November 1898, and most recently performed it with music director Manfred Honeck and violinist Christian Tetzlaff in June 2015. The score calls for flute, pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, timpani and strings. Performance time: approximately 45 minutes.
