    An Annotated Bibliography of Canadian Oboe Concertos Document Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Oboe in the Performance Studies Division of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music January 11, 2016 by Elizabeth E. Eccleston M02515809 B.M., Wilfrid Laurier University, 2004 M.M., University of Cincinnati, 2007 D.M.A. Candidacy: April 5, 2012 256 Major Street Toronto, Ontario M5S 2L6 Canada [email protected] ____________________________ Dr. Mark Ostoich, Advisor ____________________________ Dr. Glenn Price, Reader ____________________________ Professor Lee Fiser, Reader Copyright by Elizabeth E. Eccleston 2016 i Abstract: Post-World War II in Canada was a time during which major organizations were born to foster the need for a sense of Canadian cultural identity. The Canada Council for the Arts, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canadian Music Centre led the initiative for commissioning, producing, and disseminating this Canadian musical legacy. Yet despite the wealth of repertoire created since then, the contemporary music of Canada is largely unknown both within and outside its borders. This annotated bibliography serves as a concise summary and evaluative resource into the breadth of concertos and solo works written for oboe, oboe d’amore, and English horn, accompanied by an ensemble. The document examines selected pieces of significance from the mid-twentieth century to present day. Entries discuss style and difficulty using the modified rating system developed by oboist Dr. Sarah J. Hamilton. In addition, details of duration, instrumentation, premiere/performance history, including dedications, commissions, program notes, reviews, publisher information and recordings are included wherever possible.

  • Generation2016
    123 Montréal, September 9, 2016 Press release | For immediate circulation Generation2016 Spotlight on a New Generation of Canadian Composers 9th Canadian Tour — 9 concerts Crossing Canada from West to East for the 9th time since 2000, the ECM+’s Generation2016 Canadian Tour conducted by Véronique Lacroix presents a new edition of this now legendary project. Nine Canadian cities will host the ECM+: Banff, Edmonton, Victoria, Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, London, Ottawa and Quebec City. Audiences across the country are invited to discover the new works of four emerging Canadian composers through electrifying performances, where each of them will compete for the $ 5,000 Generation Jury Award and the $ 1,500 Audience Choice Award1. Composer-host Gabriel Dharmoo will be on stage, along with ten ECM+ musicians and their conductor, to guide the listeners through four new works that are as unique as they are fascinating, including a concertante piece for soloist flutist Marie-Hélène Breault. Composers Taylor Brook (AB / NY), Symon Henry (QC), Sabrina Schroeder (CB / Manchester, UK) and Adam Scime (ON) were selected in the summer of 2015 by the jury of Generation2016, now one of the most important composition competitions in the country. In February 2016, the four composers were featured in live composition workshops with ECM+’s musicians and conductor, which gave the public an insider’s look at musical experimentation. Through Brook’s organic microtonality, Henry’s delicate graphic scores, Scime’s musical structures in motion and the primal vibration of Schroeder’s sound world, listeners will discover that there are as many different methods of composing as there are composers.
