On behalf of the Don Wright Faculty of Music, it is a pleasure host you in our new Music Building facili- ties at Western University. This weekend, we will be celebrating the numerous artistic contributions and successes of Canadian saxophonists from the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New Bruns- wick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Given the vast area that comprises Region 10, our regional conferences play a central role in allowing us to join together and appreciate the diversity of projects that are being created across our country.

  • The Maverick: an Analytical Study of Carter Pann's
    THE MAVERICK: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CARTER PANN’S SYMPHONY FOR WINDS: MY BROTHER’S BRAIN (2011) by RICKEY HAUOLI-DEPONTE BADUA (Under the Direction of John P. Lynch) ABSTRACT Intended as a resource for conductors interested in performing Carter Pann’s Symphony for Winds: My Brother’s Brain, this document explores the composer’s life and influences, shares his personal reflections about the compositional process, provides an overview of his compositional style, and presents a descriptive analysis of the work. Analytical discussion includes how Pann employs “extreme” and “outrageous” musical gestures within form, melody, harmony, texture, and orchestration. Summary and conclusions depict Pann as “the maverick” of composers writing for the wind ensemble medium, with the author’s intent to encourage more wind band conductors to program his music. INDEX WORDS: Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Wind Band, Wind Conductor, Wind Conducting THE MAVERICK: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CARTER PANN’S SYMPHONY FOR WINDS: MY BROTHER’S BRAIN (2011) by RICKEY HAUOLI-DEPONTE BADUA B.M.E., University of Puget Sound, 2006 M.A.T., University of Puget Sound, 2007 A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of The University of Georgia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS ATHENS, GEORGIA 2014 © 2014 RICKEY HAUOLI-DEPONTE BADUA All Rights Reserved THE MAVERICK: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CARTER PANN’S SYMPHONY FOR WINDS: MY BROTHER’S BRAIN (2011) by RICKEY HAUOLI-DEPONTE BADUA Major Professor: John P.

  • B.C. Jazz Legend Performing with Ensemble Vivant Group by Mary Cocivera
    B.C. jazz legend performing with Ensemble Vivant group by Mary Cocivera Ensemble Vivant, a group of five musicians, will take the stage at the Kelowna Community Theatre Thursday to weave some musical magic, ranging from Bach to Piazzolla. Known for its wide-ranging genre diversity, the Toronto-based ensemble will feature music with a distinctly Latin flavour. Jazz musician Don Thompson returns to his native British Columbia for this Kelowna gig. Born and raised in Powell River, he started his 50 year musical career with piano lessons, but started jamming with jazz musicians in his teens and moved to Vancouver in the early 1960s to play bass in Lloyd Arntzen's Dixieland quartet. When the neck broke off his borrowed bass, he bought his own bass and became one of the go-to bassists for countless studio sessions in Vancouver. He taught himself to play vibraphone and was the only vibes player in all of Vancouver at the time. Thompson moved to California in the late 1960s, to play and tour with saxophonist John Handy. As a pianist, bassist, percussionist, composer, arranger and producer, he is described as a musician who can move flawlessly from vibes to bass to piano and sound virtuosic on each instrument. Thompson played in Jim Hall's trio, George Shearing's band and has collaborated with Moe Koffman, Ed Bickert, Rob McConnell, Lenny Breau, Sarah Vaughan, Kenny Wheeler, Art Farmer, Phil Dwyer and many others. He has performed in Europe, Japan, Great Britain, South America and at every major jazz festival in North America.

The Early Medieval Music (500-1150). i. Early chant traditions Chant (or plainsong) is a monophonic sacred form which represents the earliest known music of the Christian Church. The simplest, syllabic chants, in which each syllable is set to one note, were probably intended to be sung by the choir or congregation, while the more florid, melismatic examples (which have many notes to each syllable) were probably performed by soloists. Plainchant melodies (which are sometimes referred to as a “drown,” are characterized by the following: A monophonic texture; For ease of singing, relatively conjunct melodic contour (meaning no large intervals between one note and the next) and a restricted range (no notes too high or too low); and Rhythms based strictly on the articulation of the word being sung (meaning no steady dancelike beats). Chant developed separately in several European centers, the most important being Rome, Hispania, Gaul, Milan and Ireland. Chant was developed to support the regional liturgies used when celebrating Mass. Each area developed its own chant and rules for celebration. In Spain and Portugal, Mozarabic chant was used, showing the influence of North Afgican music. The Mozarabic liturgy survived through Muslim rule, though this was an isolated strand and was later suppressed in an attempt to enforce conformity on the entire liturgy.

  • The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development
    THE SAXOPHONE IN CHINA: HISTORICAL PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT Jason Pockrus Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS August 201 8 APPROVED: Eric M. Nestler, Major Professor Catherine Ragland, Committee Member John C. Scott, Committee Member John Holt, Chair of the Division of Instrumental Studies Benjamin Brand, Director of Graduate Studies in the College of Music John W. Richmond, Dean of the College of Music Victor Prybutok, Dean of the Toulouse Graduate School Pockrus, Jason. The Saxophone in China: Historical Performance and Development. Doctor of Musical Arts (Performance), August 2018, 222 pp., 12 figures, 1 appendix, bibliography, 419 titles. The purpose of this document is to chronicle and describe the historical developments of saxophone performance in mainland China. Arguing against other published research, this document presents proof of the uninterrupted, large-scale use of the saxophone from its first introduction into Shanghai’s nineteenth century amateur musical societies, continuously through to present day. In order to better describe the performance scene for saxophonists in China, each chapter presents historical and political context. Also described in this document is the changing importance of the saxophone in China’s musical development and musical culture since its introduction in the nineteenth century. The nature of the saxophone as a symbol of modernity, western ideologies, political duality, progress, and freedom and the effects of those realities in the lives of musicians and audiences in China are briefly discussed in each chapter. These topics are included to contribute to a better, more thorough understanding of the performance history of saxophonists, both native and foreign, in China.
