    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE CANADIAN MUSIC SINCE 1940: A QUESTION OF NATIONALISM A Thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Music by Ronald Frederick Erin August, 1983 J:lhe Thesis of Ronald Frederick Erin is approved: California StD. te Universi tJr, Northridge ii PREFACE This thesis represents a survey of Canadian music since 1940 within the conceptual framework of 'nationalism'. By this selec- tive approach, it does not represent a conclusive view of Canadian music nor does this paper wish to ascribe national priorities more importance than is due. However, Canada has a unique relationship to the question of nationalism. All the arts, including music, have shared in the convolutions of national identity. The rela- tionship between music and nationalism takes on great significance in a country that has claimed cultural independence only in the last 40 years. Therefore, witnessed by Canadian critical res- ponse, the question of national identity in music has become an important factor. \ In utilizing a national focus, I have attempted to give a progressive, accumulative direction to the six chapters covered in this discussion. At the same time, I have attempted to make each chapter self-contained, in order to increase the paper's effective- ness as a reference tool. If the reader wishes to refer back to information on the CBC's CRI-SM record label or the Canadian League of Composers, this informati6n will be found in Chapter IV. Simi- larly, work employing Indian texts will be found in Chapter V. Therefore, a certain amount of redundancy is unavoidable when interconnecting various components.

  • BRAMWELL TOVEY Principal Guest Conductor of the Los Angeles
    BRAMWELL TOVEY Principal Guest Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl A musician of striking versatility, Bramwell Tovey is acknowledged around the world for his artistic depth and his warm, charismatic personality on the podium. Tovey’s career as a conductor is uniquely enhanced by his work as a composer and pianist, lending him a remarkable musical perspective. His tenures as music director with the Vancouver Symphony, Luxembourg Philharmonic and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras have been characterized by his expertise in operatic, choral, British and contemporary repertoire. The 2008/09 season holds many highlights for Tovey. In the fall of his ninth season with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, the conductor took the ensemble on tour to China and South Korea with guest artist Hillary Hahn. The first orchestra from Canada to perform in China in 30 years, the tour was capped by a performance at the Beijing Music Festival – another first for a Canadian symphony. Upon returning to Vancouver, Tovey led the orchestra through an in-depth Brahms Festival, featuring all four symphonies, the two piano concertos and the violin concerto. The Brahms Violin concerto was performed with violinist James Ehnes who, along with the VSO, won both a Grammy Award and a Juno Award in 2007 for a CBC recording of violin concertos by Walton, Korngold and Barber. Other special guest artists during the season include violinist Joshua Bell as well as a joint performance by celebrated vocalists Samuel Ramey and Frederica von Stade. Recently branded the “…the hottest hot-weather conductor in America right now…" by The Baltimore Sun, Tovey continues both his second season as Principal Guest Conductor of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, and his sixth season as founding host and conductor of the New York Philharmonic’s Summertime Classics series at Avery Fisher Hall in summer 2009.

  • WILDLIFE FILM WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD - - - Manitoba Govt
    Manitoba Government NEWS Information Services Branch Legislative Bldg., Winnipeg R3C OV8 SERVICE MANITOBA Date: October 13, 1972. Phone 946-7175 WILDLIFE FILM WINS INTERNATIONAL AWARD - - - Manitoba Govt. Entry First In Conservation Competition One of a series of three wildlife films produced in Manitoba has won an international award, Department of Mines, Resources and Environmental Management Minister Sidney has announced. "Prairie Seasons," the first of a now-completed "Trilogy of Manitoba Wildlife," recently received first prize in a competition sponsored by the American Association for Conservation Information, at its annual convention in Boise, Idaho. The 17-minute film was cited for its excellence in photography, narration, music background, and general over-all production. "Prairie Seasons" was photographed by well-known Winnipeg outdoors photo- grapher George Cotter, whose achievements in field photography are recognized in cine- matographic circles. The script was written by wildlife biologist Dr. Robert Oetting and naturalist Dr. Robert Nero, of the Manitoba department's development and extension service. Both have had wide experience with the outdoors and are expert writers on naturalist subjects. Narration was read by Keith Smith. Original music for the three films -- the other two being "Marshland Summer" and "Forest Trails" -- was written by local composer Victor Davies. He has been com- missioned in the past to write several pieces for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra, and composed the original score for "The Beginning and End of the World," presented at the Planetarium of the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature in 1971. The films were produced by Kip Park, also of the department's development and extension service.
