Biographical Sketch Clarinetist, composer and ethnomusicologist Elliot Weisgarber (December 5, 1919 - December 31, 2001) was born in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. He studied clarinet and composition at the Eastman School of Music where he earned his Bachelor and Masters degrees in music as well as a Performer's Certificate in clarinet. Following his graduation in 1943, Weisgarber spent one year teaching at Colby Junior College in New Hampshire before moving on to a sixteen-year career at the Woman's College of the University of North Carolina. In 1960, he was invited to join the faculty of the newly- formed music department at the University of British Columbia. Weisgarber's relocation to the west coast helped nourish his well-developed interest in Asian cultures and he spent a great deal of time in Japan studying the classical music of that country and, in particular, developing expertise in shakuhachi (vertical bamboo flute) playing.

Professor Anna Reid, my other supervisor, also gave me significant help and support, sometimes just when I absolutely needed it. The guidance from both my supervisors has been invaluable, and I sincerely thank them. One of the greatest pleasures during the course of this research project has been the number of generous people who have provided indispensable help.

    NEWS AND COMMENT OF CONCERT AND OPERA ~"~.." I.I. , Two American Novelties At the Metropolitan "Shanewis" and "The Dance in Place Congo" Interesting Steps in Oar Musical Development By Grenville Vernon Metropolitan Opera Company's presentation of Charles Wake- THKfield Cadman'a opera, "Shanewis," and Henry F. Gilbert's ballet- pantomime, "The Dance in Place Congo." opens a new and, it is to be hoped, brighter page in American music. Signor Gatti-Casazza can ill be accused of dislike for the works of American composers. île began with Frederick Converse's "The Pipe of Desire," a well made but utterly uninspired, unmelodic and undramatic score, badly fitted to a pre¬ posterous libretto. We gulped down the draft, gasped, made faces and wondered why we had been offered it. Then came Horatio Parker's "Mona." This was on tho whole more successful, for it possessed a cer¬ tain academic dignity. It was, however, utterly unsuited for the theatre and composed to a book of some verbal beauty, written in a supreme igno¬ rance of the A B C's of theatric construction. Then came Walter Dam rosch's "Cyrano de Bergerac," and this marked a further advance. The play of Rostand was eminently suited for lyric investiture, and William J. Henderson provided from it the best operatic book yet produced by an American. Mr. Damrosch's music was some of it excellent, all of it well manufactured, but the spark was missing. The opera fell flat. After this we had Victor Herbert's "Madeleine," a one-act trifle which Massenet or Wolf-Ferrari would have made charming.
