  • EPISODE FIVE for the PEOPLE: PARTS 1 & 2 for the PEOPLE Place Is a Powerful Force in Cultural Expression
    EPISODE FIVE FOR THE PEOPLE: PARTS 1 & 2 FOR THE PEOPLE Place is a powerful force in cultural expression. The seeds of inspiration for this latest program, “For the People,” come from close to home: the landscape of America—its vastness and variety, its wildness and ruggedness, and the wide open spaces both of land and sky that have defined this country from its earliest days. Collectively, these attributes speak to possibility and the opportunity to explore and to find one’s own way, including through music. Presenting music and concerts during a pandemic has significant constraints, understandably so to protect the safety and health of all. Our safety protocols in the early fall of 2020 when this program was recorded meant that we could not have wind and brass players performing together indoors. In thinking about the possibilities for this all-American program, I was inspired by the sense of big spaces and wide-open skies, along with some of the most iconic works of the American soundscape. What was needed was a vast, open space where we could bring our musicians together. Through a connection with our wonderful Jack Heinz Society member, Marty Bates, the idea of an airport hangar was introduced—interestingly, a place of comings and goings, and an outdoor space that would also allow us to assemble many members of our brass and woodwind sections. From there, the program took flight. At the center of this exploration is a powerhouse constellation of five female, diverse composers (Jennifer Higdon, Libby Larsen, Jessie Montgomery, Florence Price and Joan Tower).

  • Mozart's String Quartet in D Minor, K
    THE BIOGRAPHY OF A STRING QUARTET: Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 (417b) by Alexa Vivien Wilks A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Alexa Vivien Wilks 2015 The Biography of a String Quartet: Mozart’s String Quartet in D minor, K. 421 (417b) Alexa Vivien Wilks Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2015 Abstract Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s String Quartet K. 421 in D minor remains one of his most celebrated quartets. K. 421 is the second work in a set of six quartets dedicated to Mozart’s colleague and mentor, Joseph Haydn, and is the only ‘Haydn’ Quartet in a minor key. An overview of the historical background of K. 421, the significance of D minor in Mozart’s compositions, as well as the compositional relationship between Mozart and Haydn situates this work amongst Mozart’s other string quartet compositions and provides context for the analysis of different editions. An outline of the historical practices and roles of editors, as well as a detailed analysis and comparison of different editions against the autograph manuscript and the first edition published by Artaria in 1785 examines the numerous discrepancies between each of the different publications of K. 421. Using the information acquired from the comparative study of selected historical editions, some possibilities for future editions of K. 421 are discussed. When undertaking the study of a new quartet, performers can learn a great deal from listening to recordings.

  • The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014
    The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 by Min-Jeong Koh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto © Copyright by Min-Jeong Koh 2014 The Proliferation of String Quartets in Canada 1991-2014 Min-Jeong Koh Doctor of Musical Arts Faculty of Music University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This paper examines the proliferation of string quartets in Canada between 1991 and 2014. The year 1991 is a pivotal one: it was the end of a Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada with the conclusion of the activities of the Orford, Vághy, and Purcell Quartets. It marked, also, the beginning of a New Golden Age of string quartet performance in Canada. Similar to their predecessors, the quartets of this new era have different levels of international success, but one could call it a New Golden Age from the sheer number of professional ensembles active in Canada from 1991 onward. The thesis begins with biographies of leading ensembles of this period: the Alcan, Arthur Leblanc, Claudel-Canimex, St. Lawrence, Lafayette, Penderecki, Molinari, Bozzini, Borealis, Tokai, Silverbirch, Cecilia, Afiara, and the New Orford Quartets. The fourth chapter researches the opportunities available to string quartets in Canada, including the Banff International String Quartet Competition. To supplement the biographies and to gain additional insight on the available resources, eight quartet players participated in interviews. Findings emphasize the need to create more support for Canadian musicians, including both professional ensembles and also young aspiring quartet ensembles, to stay in Canada.
