She was actively involved with Christ Memorial Anglican Church, Oshawa, as organist and choir master, the Durham Youth Orchestra, the Durham Philharmonic Choir as accompanist, and the Piano Teachers’ Association of Oshawa.

Marianne was an active member of our organization for many years, and served as President for a year. Her professional demeanor was a valuable asset to our organization, and she was well liked by all. Our sympathy is extended to her children and parents and all who knew and loved her. She leaves behind a musical legacy and was a valuable member of the musical community in general. She will be missed by many. Sincerely: Paula Copithorn, President of ORMTA - Oshawa & District Branch May 31, 2011 Pierre-Jean Bosc It is with great sadness that I and my family learned of Marianne's passing. The whole Bosc family but especially myself would like to send our sincere condolences. Heaven is made better by her presence and her music. We are diminished by the vacuum that her passing has created. May 31, 2011 Bev. Jealouse It is with great sorrow that I learned today of Marianne's passing. I want to send my deepest condolences to her children, Megan and Ian and others in her family. She will be sorely missed especially her music!! Now she is with the angels in heaven and I am sure she is singing and playing music to our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ. Marianne was not only a great friend but also a wonderful colleague. My prayers are with her family. Jun 1, 2011 Larissa Fraser Our deepest condolences on the passing of Marianne, to her children and family. I lost my aunt to breast cancer 2 weeks ago. I wanted to share this...Last night as I was kissing my 11 yr. old daughter "goodnight" I glanced by her night stand and noticed she had written a note with drawings in her notebook..I asked for her to show it to me...it said," I pray for thee Marianne Turner. A great lady and a wonderful accompanist!You will be missed. You will be with me in soul as I continue my musical journey". Marianne was a wonderful vocal accompanist and inspired many young voice and piano students like my daughter. She accompanied voice students for their RCM exams and Festivals giving of her time and energy which was greatly appreciated. I, as her ORMTA colleague was fortunate to have been accompanied by her too. As singers, my daughter and I are certain that she is accompanying the angel choirs in Heaven at this moment. God Bless! Jun 1, 2011 Odorico family We are very saddened by this news. Our condolences to her children and family. She was very kind to our family over the years we have known her. She was a wonderful pianist, accompanist and person. She will me greatly missed, but our hope is that we will see her again some day. Jun 1, 2011 The Craig Family "You will be greatly missed, Marianne!" We send our condolences and deepest sympathy to Meagan, Ian and parents as well as all of the extended family members and friends. Marianne taught with joy, dedication and love for music. She was always positive, optimistic and generous. She encouraged the children to simply do their best...always with a smile on her face! Until we meet again, may the Lord comfort and richly bless Meagan and Ian. Jun 2, 2011 Peter Kellam My thoughts are with Marianne's family and those who have been touched by her during her time here. In the 1970's, during the Niagara Falls Kiwanis Music Festival piano competitions, maestro Rivoli Iesularo would actually say "Watch out for Langhorne." Talk about 12 year-old pressure! Her performance, passion and technique in competition actually created a musical intimidation factor. Then, when we attended the same high school, I actually got to meet this "childhood musical nemesis." She was a fierceful flautist in the concert band. Marianne was seconded to the jazz/stage band under the direction of Gordon Smallwood - and she decently faked the provided scores. Three decades later, I am pleased to see that Marianne had come back to touch many communities and lives. M'Lady, I respectfully doff my hat to you and your family. Peter Kellam Jun 2, 2011 Mary-Ruth Roadhouse 'I shall remember you when twilight gently falls...and hear your voice when then lilting robin calls. I shall remember you with each recurring spring..all natures's loveliness, some thought of you will bring...." Marianne was my friend, collegue, accompanist and encourager. I will miss her dearly.... her sarcastic sense of humour and her giftedness. To her beloved children and family, I off you my sympathy and heartfelt sadness at this time in your lives. In time, I hope you will find much confort in your memories. Her gift of music will live on in so many lives that she touched. Jun 2, 2011 Heiderich Family Marianne, you will be deeply missed! Our sincere condolences to your family. Your memory will live on in our household each time my son plays piano. Thank you so much for inspiring the gift of music in him and so many others. Our family is honoured to have learned from such a great teacher and mentor. Now Heavan will know your gift. Jun 2, 2011 Valerie McIntyre (Espressivo Singer) My deepest sympathy to the family. Jun 2, 2011 Ghent Family My family and I would like to take this opportunity to send our condolences to Megan, Ian, and Marianne's extended family. We were neighbours for a few years. I looked to listen to Marianne play the paino. Her love for music was always evident. Our prayers and thoughts go out to Megan and Ian, although we may not have seen each other much in the past few years, you have never been far from out thoughts. May the love of your family and each other comfort you during this difficult journey in life. Beverley, Hillary, Candace and Baylee Jun 2, 2011 Marie Secondini I will remember Marianne to be an amazing accompanist for so many budding violinists and cellists in Durham region. Her devotion to her craft was evident every time she performed the piano. A true professional in every sense of the word. Her humility and warmth will always be remembered. Jun 2, 2011 Poulin Family Our deepest sympathies to Ian and Megan. Marianne has always been there for our family, accompanying our children since they were little. She meant a great deal to our son Noah as she was also his piano teacher. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us and the world. You will be very missed. La famille Poulin Jun 2, 2011 Andrew Dakers An amazing woman and Teacher - I will always be grateful for you making me a better musician, teacher, and person. Thank you Marianne for your inspiration, support, and dedication. God bless. Jun 5, 2011 Kang family Our deepest sympathy to Meagan and Ian. Our thoughts are with you and your family. We are all in a state of shock. We know how much your Mom meant to you. We are keeping you in our prayers and know you will find your strength to make it through this difficult time. I used to talk to your Mom about you both for several times. From her eyes, I can see how proud she is for both of you. Please remember those who live in our heart never die. I believe from Heaven, your Mom will always support and bless you. Marianne, Jasmine and William want to say Thank you very much for many years' teaching. They believe you are with Angels now. Your professionalism and encouragement will be sorrowly missed. John Jun 5, 2011 Tony and Alistair Mennell We are very sorry for the loss of Marianne, who was a very loved Musician, and a very good Organist at Christ Church.

  • Index to the CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles De L'acbm, Volumes 1-28
    Index to the CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles de l’ACBM, Volumes 1-28 CAML Review / Revue de l’ACBM, Volumes 29-38 Compiled by Kathleen McMorrow Faculty of Music Library, University of Toronto INTRODUCTION The CAML Newsletter / Nouvelles de l’ACBM, v. 1, no. 1, appeared in May 1972 as the initial publication of the newly organized Canadian Association of Music Libraries / Association canadienne des bibliothèques musicales, a national branch of the International Association of Music Libraries / Association internationale de bibliothèques musicales. Since 1956, most professional music librarians had worked together as members of the Canadian Music Library Association, the Music Section of the Canadian Library Association, producing a number of reference publications and newsletters. Some Canadians had also joined IAML as individual members following its establishment in 1951, in order to participate in international programs. A restructuring of CLA in 1971 challenged CMLA to “evaluate its organization and its objectives,” according to Marjorie Hale in her note to members in the August 1971 Newsletter, and the response, determined by a mail questionnaire, was the new organization, aiming for a wider, more diverse membership and range of activities. The Newsletter / Nouvelles has been published without serious interruption ever since, usually three times a year. Its size and general appearance has remained consistent, but serials’ cataloguers will have noted five successive appearances of the title page: the first included the acronyms and complete names of the association, with the titles Newsletter / Nouvelles; later versions used either the acronyms or the full names, and placed the titles in differing typographical relationships. Lynne Jarman edited the first few issues.

  • Tribute Committee and the Vaughan Road Alumni Association
    Vaughan Cover_revised.pdf 1 2017-03-14 11:05 AM C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Message from the Chairs of the Farewell Tribute Committee and the Vaughan Road Alumni Association Hold a 91st reunion celebration or a farewell tribute celebrating 91 illus- trious years? That was the dilemma a small group led by Jack Parker, Chair of the Vaughan Road Alumni Association, faced in September 2016. On December 7, 2016, the verdict was in —Vaughan Road Academy (VRA) would close for good as of June 30, 2017. It was a sad moment for the group of five who had met at the school to learn the news that day. But there was no time to waste. There were less than six months to accomplish what would normally take a minimum of 18 months and that was to plan the best tribute possible for a school that has meant so much for thousands of students over its 91 years. A multi-generational committee was quickly assembled with the first Farewell Tribute Committee meeting held on January 11, 2017. I want to acknowledge all of the committee chairs, the volunteers, principal Cynthia Zwicker-Reston and her staff and faculty. This tribute was only made possible because each one worked tirelessly over the past five months, bringing their expertise and heart and soul to the task, ensuring Vaughan Road received a memorable send-off — one that every former student could enjoy and reflect with pride on how much we derived from our years here. Saying goodbye is hard to do.
