    150 Historical Studies in Education / Revue d’histoire de l’éducation BOOK REVIEWS / COMPTES RENDUS 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.

  • Filumena and the Canadian Identity a Research Into the Essence of Canadian Opera
    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.

  • MAGISTERRA-Canada-Fundraiser
    MAGISTERRA SOLOISTS Magisterra Soloists is a vibrant Canadian classical music ensemble dedicated to programming innovative and venturesome chamber music works in juxtaposition with traditional staples of the classical repertoire. The ensemble brings together established professional musicians and young emerging artists from across the globe to create something fresh, engaging, and gutsy. In the context of its varied programming, Magisterra is delighted to collaborate with esteemed guest singers and instrumentalists. Magisterra is proud to offer its mentorship program, “Magisterra Fellows”, for select young artists who are invited to perform with the group. In the Spring of 2016, Magisterra launched its “Salon Series”, which is designed to offer music to more intimate audiences. Outside of its regular concert schedule, the ensemble presents concerts in schools throughout Ontario through its outreach program, “Magisterra in Schools”. Founded in the fall of 2015 by internationally-acclaimed German violinist, Annette-Barbara Vogel, Magisterra Soloists is currently based in London, Ontario. Within its first twelve months of concertizing, the ensemble performed to critical acclaim in more than two dozen of venues across Ontario, including Kingston’s Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts. It has also succeeded in designing an educational program which provides interactive exposure to the arts for young children, and which it has presented to captivated audiences of both students and teachers in a number of schools throughout the province. In May of 2016, Magisterra Soloists gave the Canadian premiere of the ensemble’s first commission, Sapling, by award-winning Canadian composer Emily Doolittle. It subsequently premiered this work in August during its inaugural international six-city tour to Brazil which included performances in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Porto Alegre, Belo Horizonte, Campinas, and Florianopolis, with the support of the Canadian Consulate in Rio de Janeiro.

  • Canada's NEXT
    1 Canada’s NEXT Classical:NEXT Opening Gala Proposal May 20, 2015, Rotterdam TABLE OF CONTENTS Ceremony design concept……………………………………………………………………. 2 Artist, composer, speaker bios……………………………………………………………… 4 Proposed stage manager……………………………………………………………………… 7 Financing / funding source……………………………………………………………………. 8 Appendix 1: Production/Stage Manager detailed CV…………………………….. 8 Appendix 2: Video Production Company ……………………………………………… 10 Appendix 3: Video Montage Content Ideas………………………………………….. 11 Canada’s Next | Classical:NEXT Opening Gala Proposal Submitted 21.11.2014 2 CEREMONY DESIGN CONCEPT This proposed program for the Classical:NEXT opening night is designed to show that Canada is ideally and uniquely positioned to provide a delightful, dynamic and potentially shocking take on what’s “next” in classical and contemporary music. Musical selections and proposed artists are intended to reflect what Canadian classical music is today with representation from the current generation which is innovative and bold. Suggested artists come from a wide range of culturally and linguistically diverse communities, aboriginal origins and are geographically representative of Canada. The design concept for the evening focuses on a theme of “possibility.” What is possible for Canadian artists within the country and abroad? How can we challenge what is possible musically? The evening will have a seamless flow and be tightly produced. The program will move from artists to speakers connected through a high quality video montage that will showcase cultural elements not easily presented in the conference format. This will allow for the contrast of larger scale ensembles and projects with the smaller more intimate solo and chamber works that will be live during the event. Starting off with the Polaris Prize-winning Inuit throat singer Tanya Tagaq from a blacked-out theatre will immediately set the tone of surprise for the evening.

  • (Manitoba Chamber Orchestra's) Classical Music Recordings
    The Consummate Value of (Manitoba Chamber Orchestra’s) Classical Music Recordings by Conrad Sweatman1 Anyone outside the Top 40 world who records CDs in this day and age might be accused of artistic vanity. Consider this 2015 headline from impish classical blogger Norman Lebrecht on Slipped Disc: “Adele’s album sold 3.4M last week. The classical #1 sold 493.” The classical artist in question was Yo Yo Ma. No shade on Adele, but for those of us who like coffee with our sugar, a bit of Beethoven alongside The Beatles, let’s not pretend this trend isn’t at least a little discouraging. But how much so? So much that it should stop Yo Yo Ma, or even those talented musicians among us who don’t chart in the Top 10, from gracing the world with a durable document of the miracles we conduct on stage? Phrased that way, the question implies a clear answer in the negative. I’m biased, as a dedicated marketer of classical music, so I’ll relate a persuasive argument on this matter made by a non-musician friend of mine. Challenged to defend the social value of concert music in utilitarian terms, she argued that such value lay in concert music’s prominent place in the public domain. In a sense, we all have a stake in the preservation of classical music, just as we all have a stake in the preservations of the commons. I might extend her argument to point out that most Canadian classical music organizations are non-profits, whose budgets are supported indirectly by democratic mandate, and who generally, in my experience, do their utmost to keep their concerts and recordings affordable for Jane Q.

  • Remaking Downtown Toronto: Politics, Development, and Public Space on Yonge Street, 1950-1980
    REMAKING DOWNTOWN TORONTO: POLITICS, DEVELOPMENT, AND PUBLIC SPACE ON YONGE STREET, 1950-1980 DANIEL G. ROSS A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAMME IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO MARCH 2017 © DANIEL G. ROSS, 2017 Abstract This study explores the history of Toronto’s iconic downtown Yonge Street and the people who contested its future, spanning a period from the 1950s through to 1980 when the street was seldom out of the news. Through detailed analysis of a range of primary sources, it explores how the uses and public meanings of this densely-built commercial strip changed over time, in interaction with the city transforming around it. What emerges is a street that, despite fears for its future, remained at the heart of urban life in Toronto, creating economic value as a retail centre; pushing the boundaries of taste and the law as a mass-entertainment destination; and drawing crowds as a meeting place, pedestrian corridor, and public space. Variously understood as an historic urban landscape and an embarrassing relic, a transportation route and a people place, a bastion of Main Street values and a haven for big-city crime and sleaze, from the 1950s through the 1970s Yonge was at the centre of efforts to improve or reinvent the central city in ways that would keep pace with, or even lead, urban change. This thesis traces the history of three interventions—a pedestrian mall, a clean-up campaign aimed at the sex industry, and a major redevelopment scheme—their successes and failures, and the larger debates they triggered.
