  • Introduction to Canadian Composer Stephen Chatman
    TORONTO REGION NEWSLETTER February – March 2017 In this issue: Of Note: Stephen Chatman 1 Reading – February Mendelssohn 13 Feature: T.E.M.P.O. 4 Reading – March Mozart 14 Spotlight: North Toronto Concert Band 9 Playing Opportunities, Concerts 15 Letter to Music Educators 11 Management Committee 2016-2017 17 OF NOTE: INTRODUCTION TO CANADIAN COMPOSER STEPHEN CHATMAN Submitted by Sheila M. MacRae Featuring a Canadian composer in a CAMMAC Toronto Region Reading is relatively rare. When Stephen Chatman’s “Proud Music of the Storm” (2005) was read at Christ Church Deer Park (Toronto) March 23 2014, I was captivated by the constantly changing rhythms and harmonies of the work. Lydia Adams, the conductor that day, drew our attention to the 1 “crunching harmonies”, as reported by Lori Morgan (reviewer, Toronto Region Newsletter, Sep. 2014). The work is a setting in music of Walt Whitman’s work from Leaves of Grass by the same name. Why was Chatman so attracted by the poet’s “Proud Music of the Storm” (1900)? Not only is the work musical, as the title itself suggests: each line and each section is imbued with its own rhythm and harmony. The poet’s perception of reality is described through a multitude of sound images, both natural and human: Ah, from a little child, Thou knowest, Soul, how to me all sounds became music; My mother’s voice, in lullaby or hymn; (The voice—O tender voices—memory’s loving voices! Last miracle of all—O dearest mother’s, sister’s, voices;) The rain, the growing corn, the breeze among the long-leav’d corn, The measur’d sea-surf, beating on the sand, The twittering bird, the hawk’s sharp scream, The wild-fowl’s notes at night, as flying low, migrating north or south, The psalm in the country church, or mid the clustering trees, the open air camp-meeting, Musical references abound in the poem.

He has won numerous Canadian and international advertising creative awards over the past 22 years and is a frequent keynote speaker across Canada and the U.S.. Justin is a Director on the Board of the SickKids Foundation, Vice‐Chair of The Canadian Foundation for Chinese Heritage Preservation and is the recipient of the Queen's Golden and Diamond Jubilee Medals and the Chinese Canadian Legend Award. He is the Host and Co‐Producer of the Rogers TV Show "Philanthropy Today” and the latest recipient of the Campbell’s Food Services Award for Excellence in Cross‐Cultural Business. Artistic Directors Chan Ka Nin is a distinguished Canadian composer whose extensive repertoire draws on both East and West in its aesthetic outlook. Professor of Theory and Composition at the University of Toronto, he has written in most musical genres and received many national and international prizes, including two JUNO awards, the Jean A. Chalmers Award, the Béla Bartók International Composers' Competition in Hungary, and the Barlow International Competition in the United States. In 2001 he won the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Musical for his opera Iron Road, written with librettist Mark Brownell, depicting the 19th century construction of the Canadian national railroad by Chinese migrant laborers. Characteristically luminous in texture and exotic in instrumental colors, Prof. Chan's music has been described by critics as "sensuous," "haunting," and "intricate." The composer often draws his inspiration directly from his personal experiences: for example, the birth of one of his daughters, the death of his father, his spiritual quests, or his connection to nature and concern for the environment.
