In the Autumn months there are still concerts and lectures to attend, but it must be admitted there is a sense of ‘winding down’. However, the joint meeting with the Delius Society in October is something to be welcomed, and we hope it may be the beginning of an association with other musical societies.

Dr. Alexander MacMillan The Rev. Dr. Alexander MacMillan was a minister of The Presbyterian Church in Canada and later The United Church of Canada, and was both nationally and internationally recognized and respected as a hymnologist and expert in the field of hymnody and church praise. He was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on October 19, 1864, to Thomas MacMillan and his wife Margaret MacMillan (nee Henderson). He had an older step- brother, Thomas (the son of Thomas Sr. through a previous marriage), an older sister, Margaret, and a younger brother, John.

  • Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor
    Marius Barbeau and Musical Performers Elaine Keillor Abstract: One of Marius Barbeau’s important contributions to heightening awareness of folk music traditions in Canada was his organization and promotion of concerts. These concerts took different forms and involved a range of performers. Concert presentations of folk music, such as those that Barbeau initiated called the Veillées du bon vieux temps, often and typically included a combination of performers. This article examines Barbeau’s “performers,” including classically educated musicians and some of his most prolific, talented informants. Barbeau and Juliette Gaultier Throughout Barbeau’s career as a folklorist, one of his goals was to use trained Canadian classical musicians as folk music performers, thereby introducing Canada’s rich folk music heritage to a broader public. This practice met with some mixed reviews. There are suggestions that he was criticized for depending on an American singer, Loraine Wyman,1 in his early presentations. Certainly, in his first Veillées du bon vieux temps, he used Sarah Fischer (1896-1975), a French-born singer who had made a highly praised operatic debut in 1918 at the Monument national in Montreal. But in 1919, she returned to Europe to pursue her career. Since she was no longer readily available for Barbeau’s efforts, he had to look elsewhere. One of Barbeau’s most prominent Canadian, classically trained singers was Juliette Gauthier de la Verendrye2 (1888-1972). Born in Ottawa, Juliette Gauthier attended McGill University, studied music in Europe, and made her debut with the Boston Opera in the United States. The younger sister of the singer Eva Gauthier,3 Juliette Gauthier made her professional career performing French, Inuit, and Native music.

  • I Popular but Disparaged: Sonata Structures in Tchaikovsky's
    Popular But Disparaged: Sonata Structures In Tchaikovsky’s Symphonies Four, Five, And Six by Daniel Robert Wolfe A dissertation presented to the Moores School of Music, Kathrine G. McGovern College of the Arts in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts in Bassoon Performance Chair of Committee: Timothy Koozin Committee Member: Elise Wagner Committee Member: Jonathan Fischer Committee Member: Ji Yeon Lee University of Houston May 2020 i ABSTRACT Few composers can claim the same level of popularity with the public and in the concert hall as Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Unfortunately, however, many early-twentieth- century scholars, music critics, and music theorists have discussed Tchaikovsky’s music in a manner which reveals their biases against both the feminine and the queer community. In this document I have first surveyed analytical writing about Tchaikovsky’s symphonies Four, Five, and Six and specifically his use of form in those works. I believe this survey reveals many of the same patterns in musical analysis that other scholars such as Richard Taruskin and Malcolm Brown have already compiled in music criticism and history. My second goal has to been to analyze these three symphonies using James Hepokoski and Warren Darcy’s method: Sonata Theory. By so doing I have attempted to uncover the strategies within a sonata form that are normative for Tchaikovsky, although deformational for other composers. This includes an innovative strategy for parageneric zones, the use of P0 modules, the tri-modular block, and IACs rather than PACs for essential structural closures. My final goal throughout this document is to trace those analysts who describe Tchaikovsky’s music as weak or somehow failing, and correlate that to an intentionally crafted instability on the part of Tchaikovsky.

  • Conservatory of Music Piano Examinations, 1887-2015: Their Impact and Influence
    A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL (TORONTO) CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC PIANO EXAMINATIONS, 1887-2015: THEIR IMPACT AND INFLUENCE TATIANA VOITOVITCH-CAMILLERI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Tatiana Voitovitch-Camilleri, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1887, the Royal Conservatory of Music has maintained its position as one of the largest and oldest community-based music schools and education centres in North America, with an integrated examination body and a comprehensive graded curriculum, influencing and shaping the Canadian musical landscape. For the past 130 years, the Conservatory has presented a wide-ranging art music repertoire for studying piano and offered a comprehensive system for assessing students’ progress through its Examinations, recently retitled as The Certificate Program. The Conservatory’s internal examinations began in 1887, with the external examinations following in 1898. The latter preserved the format of the former and expanded through increasing the number of the examination centres across Canada for both financial and educational reasons. Despite varying opinions of professionals and amateurs on the efficacy and value of the piano examinations in particular from the beginning, this dissertation, using historical sources and interviews, argues that over the years the structure and content of the piano examinations, while innately conservative on the whole, have kept up with a changing demographic of students across the country, and either countered or taken on the many criticisms that surrounded them over the years despite geographical and financial challenges, and indeed competition from other institutions.

  • An Annotated Bibliography of Canadian Oboe Concertos
    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.
