It’s not possible to overstate Owen Underhill’s contribution to the musical life of , to the province of BC, or to the cultural fabric of the nation itself. He is a prize-winning, Juno-nominated Associate of the Canadian Music Centre and a celebrated and highly innovative Artistic Director of Turning Point Ensemble, renowned for deeply-researched and visionary programs.

He has conducted more than 250 premieres by Canadian composers and is a respected member of the faculty at The School for the Contemporary Arts at , where he has served as Director of the School for the Contemporary Arts, and was recently Dean Pro Tem of the Faculty of Communication, Art & Technology.

Early in his Vancouver tenure, he was Co-programmer of the New Musica series at the Western Front and began conducting concerts with Vancouver New Music and the CBC Vancouver Orchestra. He was Artistic Director of Vancouver New Music from 1987 to 2000 and has conducted Turning Point Ensemble for the past fifteen years. He is also an accomplished flutist, (an enthusiastic percussionist!), an avid sports fan, and notably devoted to his family.

He has also dedicated himself to creating opportunities for other composers, through more than twenty years of leadership at the Canadian Music Centre, through his conducting, and through his teaching.

But to truly understand Owen is to recognize that beneath the thoughtful, ever-kind, and collegial intellectual we all know beats the heart of a fiercely rebellious iconoclast.

Fostered through advanced studies with Czech avant-garde originalist Rudolf Komorous and electronic music pioneer Bülent Arel, The Globe and Mail’s Robert-Everett-Green says “Owen Underhill’s music is a sea of fluid contrasts: the busy clockwork time of action and dance and the suspended time of contemplation; bold gestures that cut across static, glassy textures; counterpoint one can see through, like a forest of bare trees, yet folded into consonances.”

I hope you enjoy entering into Owen’s world of playful darkness as much as we have enjoyed getting to know his music over the past year of planning this concert.

Sean Bickerton, BC Director Canadian Music Centre / Centre de musique canadienne

– 1 – Looking Back, Looking Forward

My thanks go to Sean Bickerton and the BC Region at the Canadian Music Centre for including me in their third Celebrating Canadian Composers season. My involvement with the Canadian Music Centre, starting with becoming a member of the BC Regional Council in 1989, has been fundamental to my sense of belonging in a comprehensive community across the country that values the quality and diversity of Canadian music and its place in a changing world. The Canadian Music Centre is truly a vital living network promoting the music of Canadians globally, and interacting locally through its regional centres. For many years, the BC Region has been a national leader in innovative programming and dynamic activism on behalf of Canadian music. This concert series underlines the legacy, commitment and accomplishment of Canadian composers in , and the rich foundation that emanates from composers such as Murray Adaskin, Jean Coulthard, Rudolf Komorous, and Barbara Pentland.

In my now four plus decades of composing, I have learned to move beyond the seemingly isolated position of the ‘solitary’ composer through embracing opportunities that have presented themselves to me from performers, collaborators, the distinctive artistic milieu here on the West Coast, and in response to my own life experience. This has resulted in a practice that includes music for dance, work with poets and writers, intercultural collaboration, and music for voices and instrumental combinations of all kinds.

This particular concert is focused on smaller, more intimate works. I am very pleased to include two mini-premieres — the second and third piano bagatelle. The earliest work included is the Four Yeats Songs from 1987. Cathy Lewis premiered these songs as part of a dance/music collaboration, and also sang my music when we were both undergraduate students at the . I have been honoured to have a number of who have taken a special interest in my music. Marina Hasselberg and Laura Vanek commissioned my Ten Miniatures for a 60th birthday concert of my music five years ago produced by their group NOVO Ensemble, and return to play the work again. Daniel Tones commissioned my vibraphone solo Cloud over Water in 2009 and has played it forty times since. Together we have toured the United Kingdom on two occasions, and the opening work on the programme, A/Symmetry Ritual, is something new for our duo that we first performed in Victoria one year ago.

A refreshing component of the concept of this series is the inclusion of a work by an emerging composer chosen by the featured composer. Adam Junk has really risen to the occasion in this case, creating something new for the same ensemble as my Ten Miniatures and very cleverly connecting the two works. Finally, thank you to all those who are in attendance. I hope the mix of works on tonight's concert proves intriguing and thought provoking.

– 4 – A/Symmetry Ritual (2018) A/Symmetry Ritual was composed especially for the duo with Daniel Tones, and was premiered at the University of Victoria in January, 2018. In nine parts, it utilizes a variety of percussion instruments and odds and ends including frame drum and bongos, alto melodica, bells, whistles, ocarinas, toys, and noisemakers. The work plays with symmetries and asymmetries, beginning with both players offstage, progressively moving to meet in the middle and then moving apart again.

Three Bagatelles (2013/2018) These bagatelles are part of a gradually growing collection of intimate, relatively short piano solos that I am continuing to add to. The first one was written for my friend, the Slovakian composer Daniel Matej, on the occasion of his 50th birthday. The surprise birthday concert which included 30 works by Daniel’s friends was broadcast on Slovakian Radio and recently recorded on CD by pianist Ivan Siller. I have now added two further bagatelles which receive their premieres this evening. My thanks to Noel McRobbie for playing these three bagatelles as a set.

10 Punctuations (2018) Featured Emerging Composer: Adam Junk

Punctuations (such as ? : ( & ) , ! ; @ . ) operate silently to clarify, separate, and continue our thoughts. However, each of these characters is sounded or represented in print and non-vocal languages such as morse code and binary. I have converted each of these characters’ codes into a tone row, creating 10 different rows, 1 for each of these 10 miniatures. These punctuation symbols have evolved over time to include their own content and character. I have approached this piece in a similar manner, taking these utilitarian innovations into the language and form of these miniatures. Punctuations deepen our understandings, further our use of other technologies, and reveal our world to us. After working with Owen on a piece based on the :) emoji, I now offer a piece based solely on punctuation itself. Written with gratitude in celebration of Owen Underhill.

– 5 – Four Yeats Songs (1987) I wrote the Four Yeats Songs as part of a 1987 dance collaboration with my Simon Fraser University colleague, the choreographer Santa Aloi. The production, which included an elaborate set by Daniel Laskarin, was called Yeats, the Moon and the Tower. The songs are written for and dedicated to soprano Catherine Lewis.

I. Her Triumph III. Before the World Was Made

I did the dragon’s will until you came If I make the lashes dark Because I had fancied love a casual And the eyes more bright Improvisation, or a settled game And the lips more scarlet, That followed if I let the kerchief fall: Or ask if all be right Those deeds were best that gave the minute From mirror after mirror, wings No vanity’s displayed: And heavenly music if they gave it wit; I’m looking for the face I had And then you stood among the dragon rings. Before the world was made. I mocked, being crazy, but you mastered it And broke the chain and set my ankles free, What if I look upon a man Saint George or else a pagan Perseus; As though on my beloved, And now we stare astonished at the sea, And my blood be cold the while And a miraculous strange bird shrieks at us. And my heart unmoved? Why should he think me cruel II. The Fool by the Roadside Or that he is betrayed? I’d have him love the thing that was When all works that have Before the world was made. From cradle run to grave From grave to cradle run instead; IV. A Cradle Song When thoughts that a fool Has wound upon a spool The angels are stooping Are but loose thread, are but loose thread; Above your bed; When cradle and spool are past They weary of trooping And I mere shade at last With the whimpering dead. Coagulate of stuff God’s laughing in Heaven Transparent like the wind, To see you so good; I think that I may find The Sailing Seven A faithful love, a faithful love. Are gay with His mood. I sigh that kiss you, For I must own That I shall miss you When you have grown.

— William Butler Yeats

– 6 – Cloud over Water (2009) The vibraphone has always seemed to me an instrument of purity, of clear lines and resounding metallic chords. With this in mind, as I began thinking about the piece, I went to the opening exhibit of the newly renovated Art Gallery of . There, I was drawn to a large and striking ‘painting’ by Paterson Ewen entitled Cloud over Water. Although referencing landscape tradition, Ewen’s work, consisting of acrylic on galvanized steel and gouged plywood, has a supernatural quality with a tiny white cloud in a large abstract textured sky over a multicoloured flat sea. I did not have any specific representation of this piece that I took away with me, but the simple figurative title which I have borrowed, and the magical approach to figure over ground served as a helpful starting point for my composition. In my vibraphone piece, chords and musical objects float over a slowly moving surface, the vertical and the horizontal interact naturally and freely as the composition evolves. My thanks go to Daniel Tones for commissioning this piece with the assistance of the British Columbia Arts Council.

Ten Miniatures (2013) Ten Miniatures for flute, cello and piano was commissioned by Laura Vanek and Marina Hasselberg of Vancouver’s NOVO Ensemble for a concert celebrating my sixtieth birthday. It is literally ten miniatures consisting of four trios, three duos and three solos, including all possible combinations of the three instruments. While on a trip to India in 2013, I became fascinated with Indian Miniature paintings, remarkably focused and brilliantly coloured mini-canvases created during the Mughal period from the seventeenth through nineteenth centuries. The titles of the ten movements are drawn Ladies Hunting Tigers - Kotah Miniature, Mid-18th Century from paintings that I viewed in the National Museum and the Taj Mahal Museum. Although not direct musical depictions of the paintings, the movements capture elements of the intensity and characteristics of the various works that range from royal processions, intimate portraits, festive and dense community scenes, mythical subjects and unusual depictions of events of the time such as Ladies Hunting Tigers.
