With its concerts, Homage Series, Montreal/New Music International Festival (MNM), youth sector, radio broadcasts, North American and European tours, a competition for composers, and more than twenty full-length recordings, the work of the SMCQ has resulted in a fertile breeding ground for new works of art, commissions, and masterful performances of contemporary music “classics”. Youth Sector Working in close collaboration with composers and music education specialists, our Youth Sector offers original educational activities that are adapted to the needs of teachers and students. Traditionally, music education was focused on performance, or playing an instrument. However, music creativity and composition are being more and more recognized as an important element of comprehensive music education at all levels, as well as the importance to diversify the styles of studies musics. Since resources on present-day composers and music creativity are sparse, the educational propositions of our Youth Sector satisfy a real need in schools. Budding Composers 2015 Primary and secondary school students are invited to discover Quebec’s composers and musical creations by participating in the Budding Composers project. This year’s offering is Michel - Georges Brégent’s Atlantide (1992), a fascinating, monumental work that will inspire you and your students to create your own mixed media compositions. You will be welcome to present your musical creations on the SMCQ web site and/or via live performance in April, 2015 at the Place des Arts. This guide presents a project outline, but feel free to enhance or adapt the steps to best suit your group. In preparation for this project, you are also invited to bring your students to a school rehearsal of Atlantide, presented by the SMCQ on February 26th, 2015 at the Salle Pierre-Mercure. A Youth Competition will also be held in conjunction with this concert.

For example, as early as 1965 he foresaw the realization of his master work to be completed by the year 2001, the grand biblical fresco Les testaments. His works, like their author, overflow with energy. For a long time, this vitality has permitted the composer, who does not believe in the separation of genres, to write and to perform rock music mixed with jazz and contemporary elements — a production which was labelled ‘classico-cosmic rock’ by the Montréal critics. Important accomplishments of this period are the group Brégent with his brother Jacques (1965-80), the duo Dionne-Brégent (1975-79) with percussionist Vincent Dionne, and the musical direction of the multimedia group L’écran humain. A prolific composer, Brégent was commissioned by renown ensembles and musicians such as the Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, Duo contemporain (from The Netherlands), Arditti Quartet, Pentaèdre, Michael Laucke, Rivka Golani, the Orchestre des jeunes du Québec and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. He has worked within numerous organizations, juries and committees, and has organized several events. He was composer in residence with the Canadian Opera Company (where he composed Realitillusion), principal guest at the Royal Conservatory of Gent, and received a First Mention and the Special Jury Prize for Atlantis at the Italia Prize. The Belgian musicologist Harry Halbreich has said that “Michel-Georges Brégent is the visionary mystic whom keen intelligence safely leads to undertake the wildest utopias. He is the man of complex structures, of instrumental virtuosity at the service of a generous and flamboyant expression.” [Sonart] SMCQ • 5 Teacher’s Guide Educational Activities SMCQ • 7 Budding Composers 2015 1.

Suggest that your students compose their own musical version of Atlantide as Brégent did, using a mixed media style (a mix of sound tracks and acoustic instruments.) IMPORTANT : Decide if you will record sounds from your environment, imitate sounds with objects, or use excerpts from the original Atlantide’s electro-acoustic sound track. 8 Teacher’s Guide 2 : My composition plan Discussion Have your students present a four-part resume of the story of Atlantis.

At winter Convo- cation last Friday he was presented by Board of Governors chairman, Cecil Franklin, as Guelph's fourth President and Vice- Chancellor. Between those years, Dr. Matthews was student football captain, Department head and Vice-President, Academic, at Guelph. He went on to become President of the Uni- versity of Waterloo and the Chairman of the Ontario Council on University Affairs. "If he is not ready now to chart a wise and smooth course for Guelph through the choppy waters of university affairs, then no one is," said Dr. Alvin Lee, President and Vice-Chancellor of McMaster University who spoke for all Ontario universities at the installation ceremony. President Burt Matthews is congratulated by Chancellor William Stewart. In his address to the graduates Dr. Matthews said he believes universities are still essential to the progress of our modern society. In these times of constrained fund- ing, universities must collectively state their case to ensure their appropriate share of resources, he said. However, simply stating the case is not enough, he continued. Each university must demonstrate its case through deeds by review- ing its academic programs, by committing itself to excellence, by reaching out to those unable to attend courses on campus, by enhancing and expanding co-operation and creative partnerships with other universities, government ministries, business and industry in teaching, research and technology transfer, by asserting and establishing its special character and capitalizing on its special strengths, and by daring to be different.
