The sponsoring organization was founded in 1967 as the Contemporary Music Showcase Association (CMSA) and incorporated in 1978 as the Alliance for Canadian New Music Projects. In 1997, ACNMP was awarded the Canadian Music Centre/Canadian League of Composers' Friends of Canadian Music Award honouring those who have demonstrated an exceptional commitment to Canadian composers and their music. Contemporary Showcase The only festival of its kind in Canada, Contemporary Showcase is devoted entirely to music created by contemporary Canadian composers. It is non-competitive in that no marks are awarded, no ranking is given, and the adjudications take place in an atmosphere that is designed to be informative and supportive. The Contemporary Showcase syllabus is available from the website in English and French at acnmp.ca. In many Contemporary Showcase centres, outstanding performers are further encouraged through award recognition. Many award recipients of past festivals have gone on to make their mark in the music world. Notable ACNMP award recipients include Jean Stillwell, Scott St. John, Lara St. John, Stewart Goodyear, Measha Brueggergosman, and Blake Pouliot. On recommendation of the adjudicators, the Showcase committee will select exceptional performers to play at the Showcase concert for their centre, taking into consideration the variety of music styles to be presented, instrumentation, duration, balance, and interest. We currently have 15 centres across Canada. The organization is recognized as one that is currently encouraging performers, composers, and audiences for the future. No other organization continues to aggressively promote the performance, composition, and study of Canadian contemporary music. “Contemporary Showcase . one of the more conspicuous guarantors of Canada’s music health.” -Robert Everett-Green, Globe and Mail 3 Hello from the wilds of Nova Scotia! I am so glad that organizations such as ACNMP are continuing the beautiful work of bringing new Canadian music into the light and especially into the hands and minds of young and brilliant performers. Kudos to this organization for their tireless support of both Canadian performers, as well as composers of new music. I began my compositional life as an improviser, in particular as a jazz guitarist. It was always mesmerizing to me how the best improvisers could shape music before our very ears and form these mysterious lines, shapes, textures and colours seemingly in an instant. Over time, I also learned that one could also do this wonderful type of work not just under the duress of the bandstand, but also more carefully and deliberately at home, a kind of glacial improvisation, which was just as creative and just as mysteriously satisfying. Instead of being limited to the sounds you yourself could produce, as a composer sound becomes only as limited as your imagination and diligence, with vast arrays of light, texture and colour right at your fingertips (with a little bit of training to help). In pursuing both performance, composition and an academic career (I study motor control and cognition in guitar performance at Dalhousie University) I realized that although these three types of work end up being very different, the requirements for all three endeavours are really the same. In all three persistence is the primary factor. All the greatest performers, composers and teachers I've been lucky enough to meet have all had one thing in common. When they inevitably failed at a task they set themselves, they used that experience to learn deeply - about themselves, about their art or about their practice. And through that learning they persisted, sometimes through external troubles, and sometimes when they themselves were the obstacle in their way. And it was that persistence through difficulties that was precisely the thing that paved the way for their future successes. Don't be afraid to fail. Instead, be afraid of not finding out what you are capable of achieving.

    O Music: The Music of Allan Gilliland. Performers: New Edmonton Wind Sinfonia, Raymond Baril, conductor. With: James Campbell, clarinet; Dean McNeill, trumpet. Toronto: Centrediscs, CMCCD 17111, 2011. 1 compact disc (59:50). Contents: O Music (9:14) – Kalla (8:43) – Love’s red rose (5:27) – Fantasia on themes from West Side Story (13:03) – Loch na beiste (9:09) – Dreaming of the masters I (14:14). $13.98 The New Edmonton Wind Sinfonia has devoted its latest CD, O Music, to works by the Scottish- born, Edmonton-based composer, Allan Gilliland. The ensemble, led by Raymond Baril for the past thirteen years, concertizes in Alberta and has toured in Europe. Gilliland has composed for choir, orchestra, and wind, jazz, and chamber ensembles. He has also written film, television, and theatre music. His works have been performed by the Canadian Brass, the St. Lawrence String Quartet, the Boston Pops, and the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, among other ensembles. He was the composer-in-residence with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (ESO) for five years, during which the orchestra premiered eleven of his compositions. The title work, O Music, juxtaposes two radically different sections. After a march-like opening tune whose contours and treatment, with prominent percussion, derive from the world of Bill Conti film soundtracks (e.g., Rocky), there follows a transition involving crystal glasses and humming instrumentalists before the Edmonton Youth Choir sings a fine a cappella setting of the Khalil Gibran poem that gives this work its title. Though the playing and singing are well executed, one wonders why the composer did not create a more cohesive choral-instrumental setting of the Gibran text, saving the “film music” for another work.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Canadian Oboe Concertos
    An Annotated Bibliography of Canadian Oboe Concertos Document Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Oboe in the Performance Studies Division of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music January 11, 2016 by Elizabeth E. Eccleston M02515809 B.M., Wilfrid Laurier University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2007 D.M.A. Candidacy: April 5, 2012 256 Major Street Toronto, Ontario M5S 2L6 Canada [email protected] ____________________________ Dr. Mark Ostoich, Advisor ____________________________ Dr. Glenn Price, Reader ____________________________ Professor Lee Fiser, Reader Copyright by Elizabeth E. Eccleston 2016 i Abstract: Post-World War II in Canada was a time during which major organizations were born to foster the need for a sense of Canadian cultural identity. The Canada Council for the Arts, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Music Centre led the initiative for commissioning, producing, and disseminating this Canadian musical legacy. Yet despite the wealth of repertoire created since then, the contemporary music of Canada is largely unknown both within and outside its borders. This annotated bibliography serves as a concise summary and evaluative resource into the breadth of concertos and solo works written for oboe, oboe d’amore, and English horn, accompanied by an ensemble. The document examines selected pieces of significance from the mid-twentieth century to present day. Entries discuss style and difficulty using the modified rating system developed by oboist Dr. Sarah J. Hamilton. In addition, details of duration, instrumentation, premiere/performance history, including dedications, commissions, program notes, reviews, publisher information and recordings are included wherever possible.

  • Allan Gilliland DREAMING of the MASTERS I a JAZZ CONCERTO for CLARINET and ORCHESTRA
    Allan Gilliland DREAMING OF THE MASTERS I A JAZZ CONCERTO FOR CLARINET AND ORCHESTRA Dreaming of the Masters, a jazz suite for solo clarinet and orchestra was written by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra's Composer in Residence Allan Gilliland; given its World Premiere with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra in September 2003; And its USA premiere by the legendary Boston Pops at Symphony Hall in Boston in May and June, 2004. Canadian clarinet virtuoso James Campbell, a native of Leduc, Alberta, was the featured soloist at both performances, conducted by Boston Pops Principal Guest Conductor Bruce Hangen. Dreaming of the Masters is dedicated to and written for James Campbell. Photo L to R: James Campbell, Allan Gilliland, Bruce Hangen ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE ‐‐ Gilliland’s ”Dreaming of the Masters”, has wit and charm, and James Campbell made a sensationally virtuosic and versatile soloist, in the sultry whispers of the slow movement and in the squeeling high jinks of the finale. THE BOSTON GLOBE ‐‐ Bright Ontario [Ottawa]debut for Edmonton orchestra…Following the final measures of Allan Gilliland’s “Dreaming of the Masters”, people throughout the hall jumped to their feet, clapping and shouting bravos…..the bravos undoubtedly rewarded the virtuoso playing of the soloist, clarinetist James Campbell. TORONTO STAR ABOUT THE PIECE – ALLAN GILLILAND WRITES… For a few years I have been thinking about how to combine my experience as an orchestral composer with my background as a jazz player. I wanted to write a series of Jazz Concertos for soloists who were comfortable in both the classical and jazz idioms. The idea that took shape was a series of Jazz Concertos for soloists who where comfortable in both the classical and jazz idioms.
