He recorded two versions of Bach’s great composition—once in 1955 and again in 1981. It is a testament to Gould’s genius that he could record the same piece of music twice—so differently, yet each version brilliant in its own way. Glenn Gould— A State Of Wonder brings together both of Gould’s legendary performances of The Goldberg Variations for the first time in a deluxe, digitally remastered, 3-CD set. Sony Classical celebrates the 70th anniversary of Glenn Gould's birth with a collection of limited edition CDs. This beautifully packaged collection contains the cornerstones of Gould’s career that marked him as a genius of our time. A supreme intrepreter of Bach, these recordings are an essential addition to every music collection.

    Examining the Canadian Opera Company's Role in Opera Education in Ontario Schools: 1950-1 990 by Donnalee Smith B. A., Wilfrid Laurier University,l975 B. Ed., University of Toronto,I 976 Early Childhood Music Ed. Certificate, Ryerson University, 1997 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard O Donnalee Smith, 2004 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced, in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. Supervisor: Dr. Betty Hanley Abstract As a music educator I discovered that many students shared my excitement about opera when it was part of their school program or on field trips to experience an opera. This discovery led me to wonder what opera education had been presented to teachers and students in the past and how effective these programs had been. This thesis examines the Canadian Opera Company's (COC) role in opera education in Ontario schools from 1950-1990. This historical study focuses on five major research questions to determine what happened in opera education for Ontario students over a 4-decade period. Data were collected in two ways. First, primary evidence was gathered from the Joan Baille Archives located in the Joey and Toby Tanenbaum Opera Centre in Toronto. Secondly, I interviewed four people who had been closely associated with the COC and were eye witnesses to some of the events over the 4 decades.
