  • ARSC Journal
    A Discography of the Choral Symphony by J. F. Weber In previous issues of this Journal (XV:2-3; XVI:l-2), an effort was made to compile parts of a composer discography in depth rather than breadth. This one started in a similar vein with the realization that SO CDs of the Beethoven Ninth Symphony had been released (the total is now over 701). This should have been no surprise, for writers have stated that the playing time of the CD was designed to accommodate this work. After eighteen months' effort, a reasonably complete discography of the work has emerged. The wonder is that it took so long to collect a body of information (especially the full names of the vocalists) that had already been published in various places at various times. The Japanese discographers had made a good start, and some of their data would have been difficult to find otherwise, but quite a few corrections and additions have been made and some recording dates have been obtained that seem to have remained 1.Dlpublished so far. The first point to notice is that six versions of the Ninth didn't appear on the expected single CD. Bl:lhm (118) and Solti (96) exceeded the 75 minutes generally assumed (until recently) to be the maximum CD playing time, but Walter (37), Kegel (126), Mehta (127), and Thomas (130) were not so burdened and have been reissued on single CDs since the first CD release. On the other hand, the rather short Leibowitz (76), Toscanini (11), and Busch (25) versions have recently been issued with fillers.

  • William Bruneau and David Gordon Duke Jean Coulthard: a Life in Music

Vancouver: Ronsdale, 2005. 216 pp. William J. Egnatoff She “made sense of life by composing.” (p. 146) “My aim is simply to write music that is good . to minister to human welfare . [A] composer’s musical language should be instinctive, personal, and natural to him.” (p. 157) Bruneau and Duke’s illuminating guide to the life and music of Vancouver composer Jean Coulthard (“th” pronounced as in “Earth Music” (‘cello, 1986) or “Threnody” (various choral and instrumental, 1933, 1947, 1960, 1968, 1970, 1981, 1986) con- tributes substantially and distinctively in form and detail to the growing array of biographical material on internationally-known Canadian composers of the twen- tieth century. Coulthard (1908–2000) began writing music in childhood and con- tinued as long as she could. Composition dates in the 428-page catalogue of the Coulthard manuscripts which can be found at the Web page http://www.library. ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/2007.06.27.cat.pdf, and was prepared by the authors to accompany the posthumous third accession to the composer’s archives, range from 1917 to 1997. The catalogue is housed at the University of British Columbia at the Web site http://www.library.ubc.ca/archives/u_arch/coulth.html. Her works span all forms from delightful graded pieces for young piano students, through choral and chamber music, to opera and large orchestral scores. The book addresses students of Canadian classical music, women’s issues, and the performing arts.

  • FEATURE | Pondering the Direction of Canadian Classical Music by Jennifer Liu on February 4, 2017
    FEATURE | Pondering The Direction Of Canadian Classical Music By Jennifer Liu on February 4, 2017 150 Years of History, Another Good 150 of Innovation: A commemoration of classical music in Canada. [excerpt: see full article here: http://www.musicaltoronto.org/2017/02/04/feature-pondering-the-question- of-canadian-classical-music/] Step into the future, and we see pianist Darren Creech stepping on stage in tropical short shorts, glittery hair and a big grin on his face. But in fact, as his audiences from Montreal to Toronto have witnessed, Darren has already pulled off the dress code to rave reviews, including for his Master’s graduation recital (to which a jury panelist gushed “LOVE those legs!”) How does Darren project his many identities through music — from his Mennonite heritage, to identifying as queer, to experiences from his eclectic childhood on three continents? Darren was born in Ottawa before his family went on the move — first to Texas, then to France, then to Dakar, Senegal. There on the African continent, Darren sought out a local piano teacher who had studied with the venerable pedagogue Alfred Cortot. Thus Darren gained his entry into the authentic classical tradition: through his teachers in Dakar and eventually in Canada, he is the direct heir to the musical lineages of Chopin and Beethoven. But how does a disciple carry out their legacy for today’s audiences, whether in Africa or in North America? Here Darren counters with a question: “Why perpetuate classical music in the context of social disparity. What is its relevance?” That was the probing sentiment that instilled his spirit to search for answers — and self-made opportunities.

  • Dear Music Lover, Welcome to the 23Rd Year of Music at the National
    Dear Music Lover, Welcome to the 23rd year of music at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. We are delighted to have been able to reschedule two of the concerts cancelled last season due to COVID-19 and to have added a third. This season, concerts will begin in the spring of 2021. Our concern for audience and artist safety led us to delay the season with the hope that it will be safer to congregate in person at that time. However we anticipate at this time that the concerts will be virtual. If things do change, we will certainly notify you. Our season kicks off on March 31 with the acclaimed McDermott Trio, featuring Anne-Marie, Kerry, and Maureen McDermott, with master violist Paul Neubauer. The McDermott Trio has been recognized as one of the most exciting trios of their generation and Neubauer has been called "a master musician" by the New York Times due to his exceptional musicality and effortless playing. On May 12, we welcome the talented Stefania Dovhan, who has performed at many opera houses including the Royal Opera House, the New York City Opera, and the Baltimore Lyric Opera. We will close out the season on June 2 with the amazing violinist Jennifer Koh, who is known for her intense, commanding performances delivered with dazzling virtuosity and technical assurance. Since 1998, we have presented more than sixty-nine free concerts featuring emerging and established women musicians who have brought to life the halls of this great museum with their artistry and talent. Thank you for your continued support of the Shenson Chamber Music Concert Series.
