Filumena and the Canadian Identity a Research Into the Essence of Canadian Opera
Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final thesis for the Bmus-program Icelandic Academy of the Arts Music department May 2020 Filumena and The Canadian Identity A Research into the Essence of Canadian Opera Alexandria Scout Parks Final Thesis for the Bmus-program Supervisor: Atli Ingólfsson Music Department May 2020 This thesis is a 6 ECTS final thesis for the B.Mus program. You may not copy this thesis in any way without consent from the author. Abstract In this thesis I sought to identify the essence of Canadian opera and to explore how the opera Filumena exemplifies that essence. My goal was to first establish what is unique about Canadian opera. To do this, I started by looking into the history of opera composition and performance in Canada. By tracing these two interlocking histories, I was able to gather a sense of the major bodies of work within the Canadian opera repertoire. I was, as well, able to deeper understand the evolution, and at some points, stagnation of Canadian opera by examining major contributing factors within this history. My next steps were to identify trends that arose within the history of opera composition in Canada. A closer look at many of the major works allowed me to see the similarities in terms of things such as subject matter. An important trend that I intend to explain further is the use of Canadian subject matter as the basis of the operas’ narratives. This telling of Canadian stories is one aspect unique to Canadian opera. -

CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components. -

Pages, V.1 (Duck Soup (New ®1.4-FINAL))
Duck Soup § Clark Winslow Ross for Bass Trombone and Piano Commissioned by Kenneth Knowles through the assistance of The Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council ©1994 (®2002) 2 DUCK SOUP (1994) CLARK WINSLOW ROSS Composed in 1994 at the request of trombonist Ken Knowles and funded by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, Duck Soup was conceived as a virtuosic piece for bass trombone and piano combining elements of play, jazz, and mystery. The title, taken from the Marx brothers movie of the same name, is meant to reflect the more lighthearted aspects of the work, but is also a reference to Ken Knowles’ avid hobby of bird-watching,. At times, I also had the music of jazz musician Charlie Parker, known as ‘the bird,’ in mind while composing this, although there are no overt references to his music; just an occasional foray into a more “jazzy” feel in some sections. Another composer about whom the same can be said was Olivier Messiaen, whose used bird songs in his music extensively. Again, no specific Messiaen elements or bird songs exist in this work, only occasional moments when such elements are hinted at. Duck Soup was revised in 2002 for a reading organized by the Canadian Music Centre. It was premiered in February of 1994 by Ken Knowles and Kristina Szutor. BIOGRAPHY Clark Winslow Ross is Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland's School of Music, where he teaches composition, theory, electronic music, orchestration, and classical guitar. He is one of Canada’s more active composers, with over 20 commissions and many performances of his works throughout Canada, in England, and the United States since moving to Newfoundland in the fall of 1992. -

Photo by Peeter Poldre. 2 SOUNDSTREAMS.CA EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Lawrence Cherney Artistic Director STIMULATING CULTURAL CONVERSATIONS In the lead up to our milestone 35th season, the 2016-17 season reaffirmed our commitment to creating a platform for uniquely Canadian cultural conversations. With a renewed focus on stimulating and provoking these conversations through carefully curated themes, we aimed to bring even greater depth, impact and relevancy to our work. This exploration of themes spurred us to incorporate dramatic enhancements in our productions, whose goal is to create immersive experiences for our audiences that will appeal to a wide range of ages and musical backgrounds. Ben Dietschi Executive Director One such example was Magic Flutes, which flowed seamlessly through a century of great flute repertoire from the lyricism of Debussy to a contemporary Canadian work inspired by Inuit shamanism. The season also saw the return of the legendary Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, in a concert that explored significant Canadian and Estonian repertoire including world premieres by Omar Daniel and Riho Esko Maimets. As Canada approached its national sesquicentennial, Soundstreams’ programs like Music of the Rainbow Nation: A Tribute to Nelson Mandela’s Dream sought to bring global perspectives to issues of inclusivity, as always through the lens of intercultural collaboration. At the same time, productions Daniel Weinzweig like R. -

The Influence of Multiculturalism on Canadian Contemporary Art Music
Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 7403–7406 Selected Papers of Beijing Forum 2004 The Influence of Multiculturalism on Canadian Contemporary Art Music Stephen Chatman Professor, School of Music, University of British Columbia Given the Beijing Forum 2004 theme of “Harmony and Prosperity of the Civilizations,” I have chosen a subject on art, which I believe illustrates a significant aspect of international harmony, communication, and synthesis of civilizations. As an introduction, a brief background on Canadian history and culture may be useful: Having gained confederation in 1867, Canada is a very young nation. As a country in the “new world”, Canada has always been a land of both immigrants and aboriginal “first nations” people. Historically, Canadian culture often has been defined as a Canadian “mosaic” (as opposed to the American “melting pot” concept), that is, a constantly evolving fabric of distinctly defined traditions, language, and art, often preserved or sanctioned by Canadian society and government. This Canadian “mosaic” is changing and has been shaped especially by assimilation, immigration, geography, demographics, and other cultural and political issues. Originally settled by primarily British, French and American immigrants, Canada’s languages (officially English and French), culture, moral values, and political system reflect its early heritage. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, new waves of immigration continued—Irish, German, Scandinavian, Russian, Ukrainian, Eastern and Southern European, Chinese, Japanese, and East Indian people immigrated in ever increasing numbers. A high level of immigration, recently much more racially and geographically diverse, has continued into the 21st century, resulting in a truly multicultural and racially tolerant land. -
