    FHMPRT396_Clarinet_Syllabi_RCM Strings Syllabi 14-05-22 2:23 PM Page 3 Cla rinet SYLLABUS EDITION Message from the President The Royal Conservatory of Music was founded in 1886 with the idea that a single institution could bind the people of a nation together with the common thread of shared musical experience. More than a century later, we continue to build and expand on this vision. Today, The Royal Conservatory is recognized in communities across North America for outstanding service to students, teachers, and parents, as well as strict adherence to high academic standards through a variety of activities—teaching, examining, publishing, research, and community outreach. Our students and teachers benefit from a curriculum based on more than 125 years of commitment to the highest pedagogical objectives. The strength of the curriculum is reinforced by the distinguished College of Examiners—a group of fine musicians and teachers who have been carefully selected from across Canada, the United States, and abroad for their demonstrated skill and professionalism. A rigorous examiner apprenticeship program, combined with regular evaluation procedures, ensures consistency and an examination experience of the highest quality for candidates. As you pursue your studies or teach others, you become not only an important partner with The Royal Conservatory in the development of creativity, discipline, and goal- setting, but also an active participant, experiencing the transcendent qualities of music itself. In a society where our day-to-day lives can become rote and routine, the human need to find self-fulfillment and to engage in creative activity has never been more necessary. The Royal Conservatory will continue to be an active partner and supporter in your musical journey of self-expression and self-discovery.

Toen wij de eerste keer met Tycho op reis wilden - hij was toen 10 maanden - kwamen er alle mogelijke betuttelaars in de weer. L. kwam zelfs met haar psychiater aandragen, vol afgrijzen over het te kwetsen zieleheil en dat het kind er nog jaren later moeilijkheden van zou ondervinden. Op die tientallen die zich vol bezorgdheid keren tegen het meenemen van kinderen op reis, is er nooit één die problemen ziet in het achterlaten bij verzorgers of in een tehuis. Ik weet niet, misschien is dat bij elk kind weer anders, maar wat mij zelf betreft ondervind ik nu, na bijna dertig jaar, de herinnering aan het 4 weken verzorgd achtergelaten zijn in een Hervormd Weeshuis, als een niet verdwenen aantasting. Een week voordat mijn jongste broer werd geboren, op mijn zevende verjaardag, werden mijn andere broer en ik door een tante die werksterdiensten verrichtte in de familie naar het Hervormde Weeshuis gebracht in de Volkerakstraat. Ik herinner me van de eerste dag een man met lange witte baard, de directeur, manden met potten jam, kinderen joelend op de binnenplaats. De kinderen droegen een uniform in de stijl van de tekeningen van Jetses, in de boekjes van Ot en Sien, mode van ±40 jaar tevoren. De meisjes droegen lang haar tot op de schouders (kort was toen mode), de jongens waren kaal met een kuifje van voren.

  • The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000
    The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Performative and Analytical Study, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Works Analytical Study: The Contest Works for Trumpet and Cornet of the Paris Conservatoire, 1835-2000: A Study of Instrumental Techniques, Forms and Genres, with a Catalogue Raisonné of the Extant Corpus By Brandon Philip Jones ORCHID ID# 0000-0001-9083-9907 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy July 2018 Faculty of Fine Arts and Music The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT The Conservatoire de Paris concours were a consistent source of new literature for the trumpet and cornet from 1835 to 2000. Over this time, professors and composers added over 172 works to the repertoire. Students and professionals have performed many of these pieces, granting long-term popularity to a select group. However, the majority of these works are not well-known. The aim of this study is to provide students, teachers, and performers with a greater ability to access these works. This aim is supported in three ways: performances of under-recorded literature; an analysis of the instrumental techniques, forms and genres used in the corpus; and a catalogue raisonné of all extant contest works. The performative aspect of this project is contained in two compact discs of recordings, as well as a digital video of a live recital. Twenty-six works were recorded; seven are popular works in the genre, and the other nineteen are works that are previously unrecorded. The analytical aspect is in the written thesis; it uses the information obtained in the creation of the catalogue raisonné to provide an overview of the corpus in two vectors.

  • Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music From
    2015/16 Season: Constellations Persichetti @ 100 and Music from the Generation He Inspired 31ST SEASON 17 & 18 October, 2015 Curtis Institute of Music Philadelphia, PA Introduction: Vincent Persichetti @ 100 Vincent Persichetti was one of the most widely respected musicians of his generation. A prolific composer, brilliant educator and lecturer, and prodigious pianist, he composed more than 150 works in virtu- ally all genres and for virtually all performing media, while serving for 40 years on the faculty of the Juilliard School, many of them as chairman of the composition department. During his lifetime Persichetti influenced the musical lives of thou- sands of people from all walks of life, and his name came to signify a comprehensive musicianship virtually unparalleled among American composers. Countless young pianists were nurtured on his sonatinas and the Little Piano Book, while many other young instrumental students first experienced serious contemporary music through his works for band; church choirs turned to his Hymns and Respons- es for the Church Year as an inexhaustible resource, while many young composers have found his classic textbook Twentieth Century Harmony to be an indispensable tool; among professional soloists and conductors his sonatas, concertos, and symphonies stood among the masterworks of American music. Throughout his life Persichetti encouraged healthy, creative participation in music at all levels of proficiency, while shunning dogmas that advocated one composition- al approach at the expense of others. He was beloved and admired as a teacher, and was in great demand as a lecturer, using his comprehensive knowledge of the repertoire, extraordinary gift for improvisation, awe-inspiring piano technique, and mischievous wit to captivate audiences.

Molte proposte legate all’anniversario hanno evidenziato un’estrema attenzione ad individuare la presenza del musicista in repertori svariati, magari estranei alla sua diretta produzione, geograficamente disseminati in tutto il mondo e cronologicamente a lui non sempre prossimi. È risultato da tali operazioni un arricchimento della nostra conoscenza, già assai vasta e ramificata, non tanto dell’autore in sé, quanto della sua incidenza e della sua estrema popolarità, da quand’egli era in vita sino ai giorni nostri. Questo cd rientra in questo tipo d’operazione e offre all’ascoltatore l’opportunità, sino ad oggi piuttosto rara, d’incontrare la musica di Verdi attraverso il filtro della rielaborazione cameristica e tutta strumentale per flauto e pianoforte.
