  • Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism Introduction Historiography
    ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. Page 1 of 22 Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism A.A. den Otter ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Introduction The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always been a symbol of Canada's nation-building experience. Poets, musicians, politicians, historians, and writers have lauded the railway as one of the country's greatest achievements. Indeed, the transcontinental railway was a remarkable accomplishment: its managers, engineers, and workers overcame incredible obstacles to throw the iron track across seemingly impenetrable bogs and forests, expansive prairies, and nearly impassable mountains. The cost in money, human energy, and lives was enormous. Completed in 1885, the CPR was one of the most important instruments by which fledgling Canada realized a vision implicit in the Confederation agreement of 1867-the building of a nation from sea to sea. In the fulfilment of this dream, the CPR, and subsequently the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems, allowed the easy interchange of people, ideas, and goods across a vast continent; they permitted the settlement of the Western interior and the Pacific coast; and they facilitated the integration of Atlantic Canada with the nation's heartland. In sum, by expediting commercial, political, and cultural intercourse among Canada's diverse regions, the transcontinentals in general, and the CPR in particular, strengthened the nation. Historiography The first scholarly historical analysis of the Canadian Pacific Railway was Harold Innis's A History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In his daunting account of contracts, passenger traffic, freight rates, and profits, he drew some sweeping conclusions.

  • 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.

  • Asian Heritage Month Festival 2018 Concert Artists
    Asian Heritage Month Festival 2018 Concert and Arts Showcase Artistic Directors Chan Ka Nin Chan Ka Nin is a distinguished Canadian composer whose extensive repertoire draws on both East and West in its aesthetic outlook. Professor of Theory and Composition at the University of Toronto, he has written in most musical genres and received many national and international prizes, including two JUNO awards, the Jean A. Chalmers Award, the Béla Bartók International Composers' Competition in Hungary, and the Barlow International Competition in the United States. In 2001 he won the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding Musical for his opera Iron Road, written with librettist Mark Brownell, depicting the nineteenth century construction of the Canadian National Railway by Chinese migrant labourers. Characteristically luminous in texture and exotic in instrumental colours, Prof. Chan's music has been described by critics as "sensuous," "haunting" and "intricate." The composer often draws his inspiration directly from his personal experiences: for example, the birth of one of his daughters, the death of his father, his spiritual quests, or his connection to nature and concern for the environment. Many prominent ensembles and soloists have performed his music, including the Toronto Symphony, National Arts Centre Orchestra, Hong Kong Philharmonic, Calgary Philharmonic, Nova Scotia Symphony, Esprit Orchestra, Manitoba Chamber Orchestra, Amici Ensemble, Gryphon Trio, Miró Quartet, St. Lawrence Quartet, Purcell Quartet, Amherst Saxophone Quartet, violist Rivka Golani, and oboist Lawrence Cherney. His substantial discography includes releases on the CBC, Centrediscs, ATMA, Analekta, Albany, and Summit labels, among others. Born and raised in Hong Kong, Mr. Chan holds twin undergraduate degrees in electrical engineering and music from the University of British Columbia, where he studied composition with Jean Coulthard.

  • On the Highland Trail of Sir Arnold Bax
    ON THE HIGHLAND TRAIL OF SIR ARNOLD BAX - ESSAY - On the Highland Trail of Sir Arnold Bax Chris Bye Independent A misty silhouette of the distant island of Rhum haunts the horizon before slipping away under the cloak of a frivolous sea-fret shrouding the Hebrides. This moody mystique once sparked the creativity of the prolific English composer, Sir Arnold Bax. This Hebridean image is just one of many Atlantic seascapes that inspired Bax’s magnificent music. I am hypnotised by the spectral scene as I stare from the window of the Station Hotel. This was one of Bax’s favourite bolt-holes, where he could escape the intensity of a crowded London and replace it with the comparative quietude of this largely hidden bucolic idyll in Morar, Invernesshire. One of the main motivating forces at the root of Bax’s music, particularly in Symphonies Three to Five (composed between 1929 and ‘39) is the spectacular Western seaboard. The rugged but captivating Hebridean coastline—scene of many Celtic myths and legends—fascinated Bax. Bax lodged, sometimes in solitude, but most times with Mary Gleaves (whom he first met in the late ‘20s) at the Station Hotel, Morar. He was always careful to secure the same room, where he worked intensively on scores with the help of an upright piano. The room also benefitted from a fireplace. A log fire would offer a welcome degree of warmth during Bax’s occupancy, often in the freezing winter months. He wore a woolly overcoat for added protection from the notorious Scottish cold. Bax’s hideaway, the Station Hotel, now known as the Morar Hotel, can still be reached today by taking a four-hour rail journey – at times stupendously dramatic 26 CHRIS BYE and picturesque – from Glasgow through the Western Highlands.

Incarnation 16:23 Total playing time: 63:22 Program Notes for Incarnation (for electric violin and piano) Incarnation was commissioned as a companion piece when the Duo was performing the complete violin and piano works by Schubert. The composer paid tribute to Schubert by echoing themes derived from works such as “Death and the Maiden,” Fantasy in C for violin and piano, and “Who Is Silvia.” This new work is titled Incarnation because in a way, it revives Schubert’s spirit. While Schubert’s melodies are famous, his accompaniments are equally memorable. For example, the opening piano figure in “Erlkönig” is an inspiring motive, and it appears in the final section of this work. In writing Incarnation, Chan Ka Nin tried to relive how Schubert composed, to rediscover his state of mind, and at the same time to rework his ideas in a contemporary context, as if Schubert’s spirit were travelling through modern times. The acoustic sound from the violin and piano represent Schubert’s world, and the modified electronic sounds act as the manifestation of his ideas in this century. The work is a commission by the Canada Council for the Arts and Toronto Arts Council for Duo Concertante.

The University of Chicago has become both a source of my intellectual curiosity and a ladder I had to overcome. Fortunately, I have always enjoyed great help and support throughout the challenging journey. I cannot express enough thanks to my academic advisors—Professor Bruce Cumings, Professor Prasenjit Duara, and Professor Guy Alitto—for their dedicated teaching, inspiring guidance and continued encouragement. I have also benefited immensely, during various stages of my dissertation, from the discussions with and comments from Professor Salim Yaqub, Professor James Hevia, Professor Kenneth Pomeranz, and Professor Jacob Eyferth. Professor Dali Yang of Political Sciences and Professor Dingxin Zhao of Sociology provided valuable insights and critiques after my presentation at the East Asia Workshop. My sincere thanks also goes to Professor Shen Zhihua at the East China Normal University who initiated my historical inquiry. I am deeply indebted to my friends and colleagues without whom it would not have been possible to complete this work: Stephen Halsey, Paul Mariani, Grace Chae, Suzy Wang, Scott Relyea, Limin Teh, Nianshen Song, Covell Meyskens, Ling Zhang, Taeju Kim, Chengpang Lee, Guo Quan Seng, Geng Tian, Yang Zhang, and Noriko Yamaguchi.
