  • 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.

To provide an even wider reach for its innovative programs, the Conservatory has launched the Building National Dreams Campaign to restore its historic Victorian home and build a state-of-the-art performance and learning centre. Opening in 2007, the TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning will be one of the world’s greatest arts and education venues and a wonderful resource for all Canadians. Designed by Kuwabara Payne McKenna Blumberg Architects (KPMB), this stunning facility will feature new academic and performance space, including an acoustically perfect 1,000-seat concert hall, new studios and classrooms, a new-media centre, library and rehearsal hall. Technologically sophisticated, it will be the heart of creative education in Canada. To get involved in the Building National Dreams Campaign, please call 416.408.2824, ext. 238 or visit www.rcmusic.ca Although the ARC ensemble was founded just three years ago, it has already established itself as a formidable musical presence. The group’s appearances in Toronto, New York, Stockholm and London; several national and NPR broadcasts and the auspicious Music Reborn project, presented in December 2003, have all been greeted with enormous enthusiasm. With Reel Music, ARC explores the chamber works of composers generally associated with film music, and the artistic effects of the two disciplines on each other.

Allegro II. Adagietto III. Allegro Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Clarinet Quintet in A Major, K. 581 I. Allegro II. Larghetto III. Menuetto – Trio I – Trio II IV. Allegretto con Variazioni INTERMISSION Dmitri Shostakovich: Piano Quintet in G Minor, Op. 57 I. Prelude: Lento II. Fugue: Adagio III. Scherzo: Allegretto IV. Intermezzo: Lento V. Finale: Allegretto Mieczysław Weinberg Born in Warsaw, Poland, December 8, 1919; died in Moscow, Russia, February 26, 1996 Sonata No. 1 for Violin and Piano, Op. 12 (1943) The Soviet Union was a precarious refuge when Weinberg fled Warsaw in 1939. But unlike many of his émigré colleagues in the West, he enjoyed considerable success in his adopted country, especially during the 60s and 70s when Emil Gilels, Mstislav Rostropovich, Kiril Kondrashin, the Borodin Quartet, and Leonid Kogan all performed and recorded his works. Weinberg’s massive oeuvre – over 150 opus numbers –found favour on the opera stage, in chamber and orchestral programs, and on movie soundtracks. However it is only in the last dozen years or so that his music has begun to enjoy similar enthusiasm in the West. Mieczysław Weinberg was born in Warsaw on December 8, 1919. His father, Shmuel, worked as a violinist and conductor at the city’s Yiddish theatre.
