  • 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.

  • Pages, V.1 (Duck Soup (New ®1.4-FINAL))
    Duck Soup § Clark Winslow Ross for Bass Trombone and Piano Commissioned by Kenneth Knowles through the assistance of The Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council ©1994 (®2002) 2 DUCK SOUP (1994) CLARK WINSLOW ROSS Composed in 1994 at the request of trombonist Ken Knowles and funded by the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council, Duck Soup was conceived as a virtuosic piece for bass trombone and piano combining elements of play, jazz, and mystery. The title, taken from the Marx brothers movie of the same name, is meant to reflect the more lighthearted aspects of the work, but is also a reference to Ken Knowles’ avid hobby of bird-watching,. At times, I also had the music of jazz musician Charlie Parker, known as ‘the bird,’ in mind while composing this, although there are no overt references to his music; just an occasional foray into a more “jazzy” feel in some sections. Another composer about whom the same can be said was Olivier Messiaen, whose used bird songs in his music extensively. Again, no specific Messiaen elements or bird songs exist in this work, only occasional moments when such elements are hinted at. Duck Soup was revised in 2002 for a reading organized by the Canadian Music Centre. It was premiered in February of 1994 by Ken Knowles and Kristina Szutor. BIOGRAPHY Clark Winslow Ross is Associate Professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland's School of Music, where he teaches composition, theory, electronic music, orchestration, and classical guitar. He is one of Canada’s more active composers, with over 20 commissions and many performances of his works throughout Canada, in England, and the United States since moving to Newfoundland in the fall of 1992.

    Soundstreams presents THE MUSIC OF JAMES MACMILLAN March 8, 2016 at 8:00 pm, Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre Scotland’s pre-eminent composer conducts his own choral masterpiece Seven Last Words from the Cross, plus works by R. Murray Schafer, James Rolfe, and Knut Nystedt. Thursday, February 4 // Toronto – Soundstreams continues its 2015/16 season this March with a visit from Scotland’s most celebrated composer and conductor, Sir James MacMillan. The Music of James MacMillan on March 8 at Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre features MacMillan conducting Choir 21 and the Virtuoso String Orchestra, and will include choral works by MacMillan, Canadian composers R. Murray Schafer and James Rolfe, and Norway’s Knut Nystedt. Audiences across Ontario will also have the opportunity to experience this exceptional program at engagements in Kingston and Kitchener on March 4 and 6. One of today’s most successful composers, Sir James MacMillan is also internationally active as a conductor, having served as Composer/Conductor for the BBC Philharmonic from 2000 to 2009. Emotionally potent, rhythmically thrilling, and richly reflective of his Catholic faith, Celtic cultural roots, and outspoken political conscience, MacMillan’s choral music has won worldwide critical and popular acclaim. In this concert, he conducts his own 1993 cantata Seven Last Words from the Cross. Combining dramatic narrative with spiritual meditation, this spellbinding sequence of seven adagio movements, inspired by the four gospel accounts of the Crucifixion, is justly regarded as one of his masterpieces. Also featured is his The Gallant Weaver, a tranquil piece based on a poem by Robert Burns, rich in Scottish flavor and evocative of Celtic folk music.
