ELIZABETH RICHTER BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2012 ii ABSTRACT DISSERTATION: The Contribution of Twentieth-Century Canadian Composers to the Solo Pedal Harp Repertoire, with Analysis of Selected Works STUDENT: Grace Bauson DEGREE: Doctor of Arts COLLEGE: Fine Arts DATE: May 2012 PAGES: 158 The purpose of this dissertation was to research harp solos written by Canadian composers in the twentieth century and to determine factors that could have contributed to the rise in output of harp literature in Canada during that period. In addition to research of existing writings, interviews with two performers, Erica Goodman and Judy Loman, and two composers, Marjan Mozetich and R. Murray Schafer, were conducted. Analysis of six selected works from 1957 to 2002, Little Suite by Robert Turner, The Crown of Ariadne by R. Murray Schafer, Fifteen Pieces for Harp by John Weinzweig, From the Eastern Gate by Alexina Louie, Songs of Nymphs by Marjan Mozetich, and the King David Sonata by Srul Irving Glick, showed the diversity of output and provided opportunity to look for common elements. The factors that coincided with the increase in solo harp literature by Canadian composers included an increase in the number of professional harpists and composers, government support through commissioning grants, trends in solo literature at large, and avenues for performance. Specific motivations for the cases studied included commissions, respect for virtuosic harpists, interest in composers’ works, opportunities for performance and audience exposure to new works. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank all of my committee members, Dr. Debra Siela, Dr. Michael Oravitz, Dr. James Helton, Mr. Timothy Clinch, and especially Dr. Keith Kothman and Ms. Elizabeth Richter for their invaluable guidance throughout the writing of my dissertation. Ms. Richter has been an incredibly supportive and encouraging mentor. I would also like to thank the composers and performers who contributed to this dissertation. Robert and Sarah Turner provided helpful information about Mr. Turner’s work. Erica Goodman, Judy Loman, Marjan Mozetich, and Murray Schafer all graciously gave of their time and knowledge, allowing me to interview them for insights into their impressive musical activities. I could not have finished writing the dissertation without the support of family and friends. Thank you to my immediate and extended family, and members of my church family who have kept me in their thoughts and prayers. Thank you to my coworkers and friends, particularly my director Lynnelle Ediger, who was flexible with my working hours as I finished the writing process. The completion of this document is a tribute to your support. iv CONTENTS List of Tables and Examples vi Chapter 1 - Introduction 1 Chapter 2 - Review of Literature 4 Chapter 3 - Interviews 15 Chapter 4 - Little Suite by Robert Turner (1957) 23 I. ‘Prelude,’ Movement 1 II. ‘Melody,’ Movement 2 III. ‘Waltz,’ Movement 3 IV. ‘Fantasy,’ Movement 4 Chapter 5 - The Crown of Ariadne by R.

  • Weinzweig Long

    Weinzweig Long

    John Weinzweig (1913-2006) Born in 1913 to Polish-Jewish immigrants, John Weinzweig became a noted Canadian composer, educator and advocate. He began music study at the age of 14, learning mandolin at the Workmen’s Circle Peretz School, a Jewish community school in North Toronto. During his high school years at Harbord Collegiate, Weinzweig joined the orchestra playing the violin parts on the mandolin but eventually learned the tuba, tenor saxophone, and bass. Weinzweig’s early musical training led to an interest in composition and he spent between 1934-37 studying at the University of Toronto with Healy Willan, Leo Smith, and Sir Ernest McMillan. During his time at the University of Toronto Weinzweig founded and conducted the University of Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Following the completion of his education in Toronto, Weinzweig moved to Rochester, NY to study with Howard Hanson at the Eastman School of Music. There he was first introduced to serial compositional techniques. Upon his return to Toronto, Weinzweig experimented with serialism in his Piano Suite no. 1 (1939) and in incidental music for docudrama radio programming at the growing CBC. For the remainder of his career, Weinzweig continued to use serialism as the governing structure behind his compositions even when he experimented with other musical ideas. Following a decade long tenure at the CBC (1941-51), Weinzweig’s compositional interests returned to concert music. He began composition of his Divertimenti, with Divertimento no. 1 winning an award for chamber music at the 1948 Olympics. Works such as String Quartet no. 1 and Suite for Piano no.

Introduction to Focus 2020 by Joel Sachs The seed for this year’s Focus Festival was planted in December 2018 at a Juilliard doctoral recital by the Chilean violist Sergio Muñoz Leiva. I was especially struck by the sonata of Rebecca Clarke, an Anglo-American composer of the early 20th century who has been known largely by that one piece, now a staple of the viola repertory. Thinking about the challenges she faced in establishing her credibility as a professional composer, my mind went to a group of women in that period, roughly 1885 to 1930, who struggled to be accepted as professional composers rather than as professional performers writing as a secondary activity or as amateur composers.

    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.
  • What Is Folk Music? Dave Spalding's Discussion Paper

    What Is Folk Music? Dave Spalding's Discussion Paper

    WHAT IS FOLK MUSIC? Throughout the weekend of the Society’s 1987 Annual General Meeting in Quebec City, there was considerable discussion among the Directors o f major policy concerns within the CFMS. This discussion returned again and again to how (or even, whether) folk music should be defined. Accordingly, a committee was formed to look into the question of defining folk music, particularly with regard to the Society’s policies. Due to many exigencies, the committee was unable to meet face-to-face and a a whole during the year, but fortunately David Spalding prepared and distributed a discussion paper, to which a number of the committee's members responded in writing. It was decided to publish both Spalding’s paper and the responses in the Journal, which because of the length and nature of the submissions seemed the most appropriate vehicle for sharing these concerns. When the committee was originally formed, it was emphasized that issues surrounding the definition of folk music were not temporary but rather ongoing for the Society, and that some clear direction was desirable as a basis for framing the Society’s policies. In this spirit, the following discussion paper by David Spalding and the three responses (by Anne Lederman, Ken Persson, and Jay Rahn) are offered to our readership. DAVE SPALDING’S DISCUSSION PAPER Introduction At the Quebec meeting, the board spent a lot of time discussing “what is folk music?” Some members felt that to develop a definition that could be widely accepted by the society would help in dealing with the prob­ lems of the society; others felt that development of a definition was not either possible or of practical assistance, but that it was an interesting question and that CFMS should continue to provide a forum in which such questions could be discussed.

    Lament in the Trampled Garden: Chamber Music by Marjan Mozetich. Performers: Penderecki String Quartet; Gryphon Trio; Erica Goodman, harp; Shalom Bard, clarinet; Christopher Dawes, harmonium; Nora Shulman, flute. Toronto: Centrediscs, 2009. 1 sound disc + 1 booklet in English & French. Contents: Angels in Flight (17:58) – Lament in the Trampled Garden (13:02) – Hymn of Ascension (13:18) – Scales of Joy and Sorrow (18:16). CMCCD 14009 $17.98* Marjan Mozetich (born 1948) has been one of the most sought-after composers in Canada over the past quarter century. Although he studied with John Weinzweig, Franco Donatoni and Luciano Berio, Mozetich’s own music is tonal, lush, and full of quiet intensity. Often, it touches on issues of spirituality. Featuring some of Canada’s best instrumentalists, the present release contains four works composed between 1987 and 2007. Throughout, one is struck by the beauty of Mozetich’s music and his masterful handling of timbre and texture. Also notable is the CD booklet, which contains interesting programmatic interpretations of each work by Alexander Colpa. Although I sometimes disagree with Colpa (see below), the booklet does demonstrate the wide variety of readings these works can generate. The earliest work, Angels in Flight (1987), is also the one that requires the biggest ensemble (string quartet, harp, flute and clarinet). Inspired by an Annunciation scene painted by the Italian Renaissance artist Filippo Lippi, this piece is a triptych. The picturesque first “panel,” entitled “Arrival and Dialogue,” opens with an extended section that appears to depict angels (melodic instruments) floating with and above the wind (the arpeggios).

Abstract The diploma thesis deals with the emergence of Canadian popular music and the development of music genres that enjoyed the greatest popularity in Canada. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to an investigation of conditions connected to the relation of Canadian music and Canadian sense of identity and uniqueness. Further, an account of Canadian radio broadcasting and induction of regulating acts which influenced music production in Canada in the second half of the twentieth century are given. Moreover, the effectiveness and contributions of these regulating acts are summarized and evaluated. Last but not least, the main characteristics of the music style of a female singer songwriter Joni Mitchell are examined.
