Michael’s family life growing up was nomadic. He recalls moving frequently. But their lives were full of music, glamour, and movie stars. His father, Phil Baker, was a celebrated Vaudeville comedian who became a radio star and songwriter, with a list of more than a dozen hits to his name. His mother Peggy Cartwright, born in Vancouver, was a celebrated star of silent film. In addition to being leading lady of the Our Gang comedy series, she appeared in a number of D.W. Griffith’s epic films including The Birth of A Nation and Intolerance. He remembers glamorous parties at his family’s home full of movie stars that fawned over him as a child. So Michael’s love of film, and the magic that happens when music and film is combined, must have formed at a very early age. And it’s no surprise, then, that his music is full of emotional expression and drama. He grew up in a world that was larger than life, and Michael has been expressing himself in vivid technicolor ever since. In recognition of his extraordinary ability and achievements, and in line with his widely varying interests, Michael Conway Baker was awarded a JUNO for Best Classical Composition for his magnificent Concerto for Piano; and he has been nominated for eleven film awards and received six, including three Genies and an ACTRA for Best Score for a TV Series — David Suzuki’s A Planet for the Taking. He has also received several major “Body of Work” awards and was recently invested with the Order of B.C. and the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal. In November of 2006 he also became the first classical music composer inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame. Michael first gained prominence in 1986 when he wrote 3 pieces for the World’s Fair held in Vancouver: Fanfare for Expo ’86, Discovery for the British Columbia pavilion, and Island in Space for the pavilion of the United Nations. He is the composer of the successful ballet Washington Square, which was choreographed by James Kudelka and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. And he was the first composer to write an original ice ballet, Cinderella: Frozen in Time, which Dorothy Hamill’s Ice Capades performed throughout North America and in China. – 1 – While it is true he studied with both Jean Coulthard and Elliot Weisgarber, it must be acknowledged that Michael is completely self- realized. He writes in a unique, predominantly tonal idiom all his own, redolent with abundant melody, rich harmonies, inventively treated traditional forms, and innovative orchestration. Stefan and I had the pleasure of venturing up to see his entire archive earlier this year, which is now gradually being catalogued in our library. It has been a remarkable voyage of discovery. I hope you enjoy re-discovering Michael Conway Baker and his extraordinary legacy as much as we have enjoyed exploring his rich, vibrant world of passionate love, drama, and poignant beauty. Phil Baker with Alice Faye and Carmen Miranda in The Gang's All Here (1943) Sean Bickerton, BC Director Canadian Music Centre / Centre de musique canadienne – 2 – Michael Conway Baker: My Life In Music My Musical Influences From the time I was very young, three or four years old, I was influenced by a wide variety of musical works. At the age of five I “discovered” by way of recordings, broadcasts, and live performances, the music of Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, etc. The list goes on and, to this day, never ends. I find myself listening, with fascination, music I never believed I would enjoy. I return to old favourites and always discover something new. All these influences show up in my compositions. There is the inevitable influence of classical music, but there is also a good helping of jazz and pop along with ethnic elements, particularly from South America. Film music fascinates me because of the wide variety of musical styles used. My Philosophy in Composing With regard to my approach to composing music, my chief concern is to write music that convinces me! To attempt to compose without this goal simply doesn’t work for me. My hope is that those who hear my music will share with me the wide variety of emotions I felt when I composed the music. – 3 – Program Heather Video produced by Pro Arté Dance Centre Choreography by Astrid Sherman Three Plus One, Op.44 I.

Heather came in the middle of the night last February after Penny died in my arms. I did not know what to do. Despite being called at such an hour, Heather came to help me. She took over, called 911 and stayed with me until the police arrived with a doctor who confirmed that Penny had died. Despite grieving the death of both her parents, Heather stayed and helped me through this terrible period. She took me through the bureaucratic nightmare that one is required to deal with in such situations. Penny had been terribly sick with a number of severe illnesses which became increasingly worse during the 30 years of our marriage. Because Heather had been through similar nightmares with her own parents, she knew what to do. Penny had known, for a long time, that she was dying so she “bequeathed” Heather to me. Three Plus One, Op.44 This music was commissioned in 1979 by Toronto’s Galliard Quartet who toured with it in their programs throughout Europe and North America. The work is in three movements. A performance of this quartet in Mannheim, Germany, resulted in my being commissioned by the City of Mannheim for an orchestral work, Baroque Diversions, which was premiered in 1982 in Mannheim at a festival of Canadian music. Where is the One? Cinderella’s Song from Cinderella: Frozen in Time The musical theme of this song became the basis for Dorothy Hamill’s Cinderella: Frozen in Time, a ninety-minute ice ballet. This was the largest and, by far, the most artistically rewarding project I have ever been involved in. Added to this were the royalties garnered from almost 50,000 sales of the CDs and videos. Unless you are a Leonard Bernstein, most classical compositions offer little in the way of financial reward; and Bernstein earned more money with West Side Story than all his “serious” music combined. This was my West Side Story. Cinderella: Frozen in Time was not opera nor musical theatre, but a classical ballet, a most unlikely vehicle for commercial success! But it was, indeed, a success! Cinderella: Frozen in Time toured with two companies for three years throughout North America, and ended up in China. The orchestral score was recorded by the cream of British orchestral musicians in the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. When it was felt the production should include a song, I asked my wife, Penny, to write a lyric which characterized Cinderella’s wish to find her true love. The song, Where is the One?, is included in this program. I have dedicated all the music written for Cinderella: Frozen in Time to Penny’s memory. – 5 – Where is the One? Where is the one To make fantasies real? I’ve waited for all of my life? Life is for sharing There must be one Loving and caring To bring out the best of my life Who’ll see the me who is struggling free Somehow it seems Is there no-one out there? Dreamers of dreams Someone — somewhere? Trust that their dreams will come true Where is the love Where is the one I have waited for all of my life? I’ve waited for all of my life There must be one Lonely is one To bring out the best of my life Who only has dreams for a friend Somehow it seems Life isn’t fun Dreamers of dreams When days are work without end Trust that their dreams will come true Please let there be Where is the love Someone for me I have waited for all of my life? Someone to brighten my days Where is the love Where is the love I have needed and pleaded I have waited for all of my life? And waited for All of my life… Where is the one Who can see how I feel? — Penny Anne Baker Will there be one Sonata for Piano, Op.31 This Sonata is dedicated to pianist Gary Arbour who was the piano accompanist for both the National Ballet of Canada and the Toronto Dance Theater.

  • Jean Coulthard Celebration
    The Canadian Music Centre in BC Presents The Murray Adaskin Salon Concert Series CE L EBRAT I N G O UR L EGACY Jean Coulthard Celebration Friday, February 10, 2017 • 7:00pm Letter from the BC Director What are your values? Working in the arts, I think about this question a great deal. Values define who we are as individuals and as organizations. They inform our understanding of the world around us. Our values determine the choices we make, the individuals we most cherish in our lives, the kinds of organizations we choose to support. Yet today we are living through a time in which our core values are being challenged in ways we once thought unimaginable. Which makes me wonder what Jean Coulthard's values were. She was, like Barbara Pentland and Violet Archer, far ahead of her time, which I imagine is never a terribly comfortable place to be. At a time when women were actively discouraged from pursuing professional careers in music; when orchestras were entirely male; when there were few if any role models, Jean Coulthard was appointed the very first composition teacher at UBC in 1947. Which means she must have believed in being true to herself no matter what, to having the courage of her own convictions, particularly given what an original voice she was at a time when Boulez wrote that "all composition other than twelve-tone serialism is useless." Jean Coulthard was cosmopolitan, evinced by the portrait of her featured on the cover of this programme. Through her life and studies she embraced French Impressionism and its myriad Asian influences; the folk influences of Bartok whom she consulted about her work on a number of occasions; the nationalist influences of Vaughan Williams, with whom she studied, and of Copland, with whom she corresponded; even the serialism of Schoenberg, though it was such a far cry from her own more pastoral, and pastorally-oriented aesthetic.

In 1981 when Carolyn Lomax met with Ann Southam, Mary Gardiner, and others to form what was to become ACWC, little did she and the other Toronto-based composers know that their work would expand to become an association of over 100 members spread across Canada from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, and from the Northwest Territories to the US and Europe, incorporating musical forms from soundscape to jazz improvisation, song to symphony, largely centred on innovative Western classical styles – music necessary to compose. In the early 80’s when ACWC1 boasted a membership of some 15 – 35 members, few questioned its predominantly European-rooted membership.

  • Canada Music Week by Sean Bickerton | Dec 5, 2017 | 0 Comments
    a Canada Music Week by Sean Bickerton | Dec 5, 2017 | 0 comments Canada Music Week is a nation-wide celebration of Canadian composers and their music established by the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers’ Associations in 1960 to commemorate their 25th Anniversary. It takes place each year in the third week of November in order to include November 22, dedicated to St. Cecilia, Patron Saint of Music. To celebrate Canada Music Week this year (November 19 — 25) CMC BC co-sponsored two vocal recitals produced by Community Partners UBC Opera here in Vancouver, and Pacic Opera in Victoria. Both concerts featured arias from soprano Stephanie Nakagawa‘s landmark Canadian Opera Anthology for Soprano. The rst was a UBC Opera Tea matinee recital in UBC’s Old Auditorium, which featured arias from Harry Somers‘ opera Louis Riel, John Estacio‘s Filumena, Jean Coulthard‘s Return of the Native, Chan Ka Nin‘s Iron Road, Victor Davies‘ Transit of Venus, Neil Weisensel‘s Stickboy, Lloyd Burritt‘s The Dream Healer, and John Estacio’s Lillian Alling. CMC BC was pleased to present two Barbara Pentland Awards at the UBC Opera concert — an Award of Excellence for UBC Opera’s many commissions, performances, and support of Canadian music, presented to Nancy Hermiston, Chair of UBC Opera & Voice Divisions; and an Award of Excellence to Stephanie Nakagawa, for her remarkable doctoral project — the Canadian Opera Anthology for Soprano. It was a joy to present these awards and have the opportunity to discuss the work of the Canadian Music Centre onstage with Nancy Hermiston at the opening of the second half of the program.
