This time four choirs from three provinces have gathered to rehearse and perform under Kaspars Putniņš, conductor of the Latvian Radio Choir. But as a special tribute to our 30th anniversary, we have added an extraordinary component to this event: we have combined the university choristers with not just the conductor of the world’s greatest chamber choir, but the actual Latvian Radio Choir itself! The Latvians last performed in Canada under 2012-2013 Soundstreams auspices i n 2005 as part of our Northern CONCERT SERIES Voices Choral Festival. The Three Faces of Jerusalem you’ll hear them all in various combinations for masterpieces from Sunday, January 27, 2013 the Russian repertoire: Part i of Alfred Schnittke’s monumental at 3:00 pm Concerto for Choir, and movements from Rachmaninov’s beloved Vespers. There are also Canadian works by Nic gotham, John Fujii Percussion and Voices Weinzweig (in honour of the 100th year of this birth), and a Tuesday, March 5, 2013 world premiere by Ana Sokolović. Works by Latvian Santa at 8:00 pm Ratneice and Russian-American composer Lera Auerbach round out the program. Piano Ecstasy Friday, April 26, 2013 Two Soundstreams passions are expressed in this concert: at 8:00 pm offering our audiences the world’s best contemporary music performed by its greatest interpreters; and engaging emerging Music for China young artists with compelling music by living composers. Many Tuesday, May 14, 2013 of the works on this afternoon’s program also have a profound at 8:00 pm spiritual dimension, most fitting for a concert that falls on Remembrance Day.

Each vocal section of the four-part choral ensemble, sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses, is given its own sounds placed within time brackets. The text consists of only the letters that spell the U.S. state name, Oregon. The Fool by the Roadside Nic Gotham The poem by W. B. Yeats was quoted by Banuta Rubess as a postscript to her libretto for my opera Oh Pilot. Yeats’ powerfully concise reflection on life, death and love combines humour and melancholy in equal portions. Its equation of love, destiny and oblivion is essentially mystical. A poem or composition for choir are, of course, examples of the works which Yeats mentions in the poem’s first line. Accordingly, I have created a piece of music that turns back on itself,

  • Cornerstones of the Ukrainian Violin Repertoire 1870 – Present Day
    Cornerstones of the Ukrainian violin repertoire 1870 – present day Carissa Klopoushak Schulich School of Music McGill University Montreal, Quebec January 2013 A doctoral paper submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Music in Performance Studies © Carissa Klopoushak 2013 i Abstract: The unique violin repertoire by Ukrainian composers is largely unknown to the rest of the world. Despite cultural and political oppression, Ukraine experienced periods of artistic flurry, notably in the 1920s and the post-Khrushchev “Thaw” of the 1960s. During these exciting and experimental times, a greater number of substantial works for violin began to appear. The purpose of the paper is one of recovery, showcasing the cornerstone works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. An exhaustive history of this repertoire does not yet exist in any language; this is the first resource in English on the topic. This paper aims to fill a void in current scholarship by recovering this substantial but neglected body of works for the violin, through detailed discussion and analysis of selected foundational works of the Ukrainian violin repertoire. Focusing on Maxym Berezovs´kyj, Mykola Lysenko, Borys Lyatoshyns´kyj, Valentyn Sil´vestrov, and Myroslav Skoryk, I will discuss each composer's life, oeuvre at large, and influences, followed by an in-depth discussion of his specific cornerstone work or works. I will also include cultural, musicological, and political context when applicable. Each chapter will conclude with a discussion of the reception history of the work or works in question and the influence of the composer on the development of violin writing in Ukraine.

  • Eighteenth-Century Russian Music, by Marina Ritzarev. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006. 387 Pp. Marina Ritzarev Is Known Both to English
    Min-Ad: Israel Studies in Musicology Online Reviews Eighteenth-Century Russian Music, by Marina Ritzarev. Aldershot: Ashgate, 2006. 387 pp. Marina Ritzarev is known both to English and Russian scholars as one of the most insightful specialists in the music of eighteenth-century Russia. Her Eighteenth- Century Russian Music represents the first attempt, written and published in English, to comprehensively cover the “long eighteenth century” of musical life in Russia. Ritzarev’s works in general represent a fortuitous combination of formidable archival study (during her career in Moscow and St. Petersburg, she enjoyed unlimited access to many unique materials and documents) with a robust conceptualization of data within a broad historical prospective. Ritzarev is the pre-eminent authority on Russian church music of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, especially with regard to the sacred choral concerto (partes concerto) seen in works such as those of Maxim Berezovsky and his successors, Dmitry Bortniasky, Stepan Degtyarev, and Artemy Vedel (along with the attempts of Italians Baldassare Galuppi and Giuseppe Sarti to contribute to this genuine national tradition). Her two monographs and numerous articles published in the last quarter of the twentieth century in Russian (Kompositor D. Bortniansky, Leningrad: Musika, 1979; Kompositor M.S. Berezovsky, Leningrad: Musika, 1983) powerfully espouse this spiritually overwhelming yet still little known repertoire. In this book, Ritzarev meticulously reconstructs the complicated infrastructure of musical life in Russia in the epoch between the death of Peter the Great (1725) and the renunciation of Alexander I (1825). During this century, Russian musical life developed from near total political and socio-cultural isolation toward the gradual and inevitable convergence of the powerful Russian Empire with mainstream European society.
