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.

  • Orchestral Music of the Canadian Centennial
    ! ! ORCHESTRAL MUSIC OF THE! CANADIAN CENTENNIAL ! ! ! ! ! ! Isaac !Page ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF! MUSIC May 2020 ! Committee: Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor Per Broman ! !ii ! ABSTRACT ! Emily Freeman Brown, Advisor ! In 1967, Canada celebrated its centennial anniversary of confederation. Celebrations were marked with many significant events in the decade leading up to the centennial, notably the adoption of a new Canadian flag, the construction of many cultural landmarks across the country, and Expo 67 in Montreal. In addition to these major cultural celebrations, there was a noticeable push to create and promote Canadian art. Approximately 130 compositions were written for the centennial year, with many commissions coming from Centennial Commission grants as well as the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Of those works, 51 were orchestral compositions that were intended to be performed by orchestras across the country. These works form an important collection that is ripe for study into compositional trends of the time. I believe that composers, writing for such a significant cultural event in Canada, attempted, consciously or not, to codify a Canadian musical identity. I will look into whether shared compositional traits could be considered signifiers of a general Canadian style by looking at previous scholarship on Canadian identity and how it can relate to music. Specific works will be analyzed by Applebaum, Eckhardt-Gramatté, Freedman, Glick, Hétu, Morel, Surdin, and Weinzweig. !iii ! ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ! Thank you to my parents, Carolyn Ricketts and Steven Page. I am very aware that I would likely not be where I am, and able to write a document like this, if both of my parents had not been musicians and had not continued to encourage me through my education.

  • Analysis of John Weinzweig's Private
    SUSPICIOUSLY SIGNIFICANT NONSENSE: A (QUEER) ANALYSIS OF JOHN WEINZWEIG’S PRIVATE COLLECTION THROUGH LIP-SYNCED PERFORMANCE ANTHONY LOMAX A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO OCTOBER 2018 © ANTHONY LOMAX, 2018 ii Abstract This thesis presents two different analyses of John Weinzweig’s Private Collection, a group of nine songs for soprano and piano that was completed in 1975. The first analysis is text- based and draws on the existing literature, my own reading of the score, and archival research. The second is a performance-based analysis focused on a lip-synced performance of Mary Lou Fallis and Monica Gaylord’s recording of the composition, which I personally directed. I also draw upon data collected from audience surveys and performer interviews in this analysis. Here I consider various layers of performativity in Private Collection and ground my work in performance studies and queer scholarship. I argue that lip-syncing is a queer methodology that can illuminate the fragmented and multiple meanings that emerge from recorded music. iii Dedication For Andrew, my husband and friend, the only person alive for whom I would sing “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” in a leopard-print jumpsuit. iv Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisory committee of Louise Wrazen, Sherry Johnson, and Magdalena Kazubowski-Houston, who gave me space to create a truly unusual thesis project; Stephanie Martin and Darcey Callison, members of my defense committee; Daniel Weinzweig, who gave me permission to use photographed portions of his father’s archived score in this thesis; Darren Yearsley at the CBC archives for sending me the recording of the radio broadcast in which Private Collection was premiered; John S.

  • John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948
    John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape, 1941-1948 by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Erin Elizabeth Scheffer 2019 John Weinzweig and the Canadian Mediascape Erin Elizabeth Scheffer Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Music University of Toronto 2019 Abstract This dissertation explores John Weinzweig’s incidental music for radio and film and its context in Canadian cultural life. Between 1941 and 1948, Weinzweig composed music for nearly one hundred CBC radio docudrama episodes and for four National Film Board documentaries. Weinzweig’s time at the CBC and NFB was his first large scale success as a working composer, following his graduate studies at the Eastman School of Music. Weinzweig’s incidental music was publicly broadcast across Canada, and can be interpreted in light of how it represents Canada during an anxious and difficult yet significant time in the nation’s history through the Second World War and the immediate post-war era. These works, featuring new music broadcast by organizations in their infancy, helped to shape audience perceptions of a rapidly changing country. I begin by situating Weinzweig’s documentary music both temporally and philosophically. The opening chapter explores his biography, the musical context of the 1940s in Canada, and the creation of the CBC and NFB, and it closes by discussing significant themes in the works: indigeneity, northernness, dominion over the landscape, and nation and national affect. The subsequent three chapters divide Weinzweig’s docudramas and documentaries by topic: World War Two propaganda and postwar reconstruction, Canada’s north, and finally a discussion of Weinzweig’s only radio drama The Great Flood , which premiered on CBC’s ii cultural program Wednesday Night in 1948.

  • Barbara Pentland's Songs for Soprano: a Performer's Guide to Selected
    BARBARA PENTLAND’S SONGS FOR SOPRANO: A PERFORMER’S GUIDE TO SELECTED MAJOR WORKS A document submitted to The Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS in the Performance Studies Division of the College-Conservatory of Music 2015 by Catherine Abele B.Mus. University of Manitoba, 2003 M.M. University of Cincinnati, 2006 Committee Chair: Professor Mary Henderson Stucky Abstract: Canadian composer Barbara Pentland (1912 – 2000) is primarily recognized for her piano and chamber music. She composed a number of art songs worthy of study and performance, yet audiences are generally unfamiliar with her solo vocal music, and singers largely neglect the repertoire. Despite the quality of her output, limited scholarly consideration has been given to her solo vocal works, and, to date, there exists no performance guide to her vocal-piano literature with in-depth attention given to the performance requirements. This document is a study of four representative works suitable to the soprano Fach, each representing distinctive stylistic periods and exhibiting diverse aesthetic influences on Pentland’s approach to composition: Ruins (Ypres, 1917) (1932), Song Cycle (1942-45), Three Sung Songs (1964) and Ice Age (1986). The introductory chapter of this document includes the statement of purpose for this study, background information, review of related literature, and methodology. Chapters 2 through 5 discuss each of the four vocal works, with particular attention given to the components of style of each song and performance considerations. The final chapter is a summary of findings and conclusions.

  • Participating in the Memorials for Helmut Kallmann (1922-2012)
    PARTICIPATING IN THE MEMORIALS FOR HELMUT KALLMANN (1922-2012) BY ELAINE KEILLOR Based on the author’s remarks and participation at the Memorials for Helmut Kallmann held in Ottawa on 14 February 2012 and in Toronto on 10 April 2012. Helmut Kallmann‟s book, A History of Music in Canada, 1534-1914 (1960), made its appearance in our home soon after its publication. I can recall that my mother was so thrilled to find the section on her former teacher, W.O. Forsyth. My first personal contact with Helmut happened a few years later. By that time I was a graduate student at the University of Toronto and had decided to do a major research paper on W.O. Forsyth. While I was rummaging through my mother's papers to find information, I came across several clippings that she had snipped from the Toronto Globe in the mid-1930s. These were write-ups, each on a different Canadian composer with a listing of compositions. Helmut Kallmann had taken up his new position as head of the Music Division at the National Library of Canada (now known as Library and Archives Canada) in 1970. I decided to write him to find out if he knew about these particular articles. Imagine my delight when shortly after I received a long hand-written note from Helmut, thanking me profusely for bringing this information to his attention. He reported that he and his staff had been able to track down the whole series and as a consequence obtained much information that had not previously been known to him.

AN EXAMMATION OF FOLK-MUSIC-[NSPIRED COMPOSITION IN CANADA THROUGH AN ANALYSIS OF SETiTMGS OF "DANS TOUS LES CANTONS" by Heidi J. Stepanek A thesis submitted to the Schwl of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirernents for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Folklore Mernorial University of Newfoundland St. John's Newfoundland ABSTRACT This thesis examines the ways in which Canadian composers have utilized folk music. This practice can be traced back to the emergence of widespread interest among the elite classes in vemacular art and culture in Europe and figures most prominently in trends of romantic nationalism. Through a detailed analysis of seven settings of the French Canadian folksong "Dans tous les cantons," 1 seek to discover answers to three main questions: What reasons do composers give for the utilization of folk materials? What source musics have they used in this process? How have they musically manipdated these materials? The first chapter examines the European rwts of the techniques ofutilizing folk music in "art" music composition.

Abstract Art song is a diverse, inclusive genre of music, as well as an important pedagogical tool for singers. It can be performed in the smallest of spaces, but it is also able to hold its own in the largest concert halls. It requires only a few musicians, making it an ideal choice for a concert or recital setting, and its poetic content describes virtually every aspect of life, in many languages, making it accessible to a broad audience. Many of its works require less physical maturity on the part of singers and require less rigorous technical ability than larger concert repertoire or opera arias.
