The material is largely derived from “The Star-Spangled Banner.” One need not attribute an excess of patriotic fervor in the composer as a source for this optimistic homage to our national anthem; Carolyn Bremer, a passionate baseball fan since childhood, drew upon her feelings of happy anticipation at hearing the anthem played before ball games when writing her piece.

U-M freshman Brandon Blazo performed the pre-concert carillon recital. FORTIETH CONCERT OF THE 114TH SEASON THIRTIETH ANNUAL CHAMBER ARTS SERIES PROGRAM NOTES Serenade No. 12 in E-flat major, K. 375 Mozart Mozart wrote this Serenade in Vienna, in October 1781, for six instruments - pairs of clarinets, horns, and bassoons. A few months later he added parts for a pair of oboes and tightened up the form considerably. On November 3, 1781, he wrote to his father that the piece had so pleased the players (of the first version) that to celebrate his name day, "at eleven o'clock at night I was treated to a serenade of my own composition. The six men who played it are poor beggars, but they play very well together. They came to the center of my courtyard, and just as I was about to undress they surprised me most pleasantly with the E-flat chord. [Abridged]" These "social" works are not unlike his symphonies, except that they are usually looser in form and lighter in tone, and they may have extra slow movements or minuets or both.

With a renewed focus on stimulating and provoking these conversations through carefully curated themes, we aimed to bring even greater depth, impact and relevancy to our work. This exploration of themes spurred us to incorporate dramatic enhancements in our productions, whose goal is to create immersive experiences for our audiences that will appeal to a wide range of ages and musical backgrounds. Ben Dietschi Executive Director One such example was Magic Flutes, which flowed seamlessly through a century of great flute repertoire from the lyricism of Debussy to a contemporary Canadian work inspired by Inuit shamanism. The season also saw the return of the legendary Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, in a concert that explored significant Canadian and Estonian repertoire including world premieres by Omar Daniel and Riho Esko Maimets. As Canada approached its national sesquicentennial, Soundstreams’ programs like Music of the Rainbow Nation: A Tribute to Nelson Mandela’s Dream sought to bring global perspectives to issues of inclusivity, as always through the lens of intercultural collaboration. At the same time, productions Daniel Weinzweig like R.

  • The Influence of Multiculturalism on Canadian Contemporary Art Music

    The Influence of Multiculturalism on Canadian Contemporary Art Music

    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 7403–7406 Selected Papers of Beijing Forum 2004 The Influence of Multiculturalism on Canadian Contemporary Art Music Stephen Chatman Professor, School of Music, University of British Columbia Given the Beijing Forum 2004 theme of “Harmony and Prosperity of the Civilizations,” I have chosen a subject on art, which I believe illustrates a significant aspect of international harmony, communication, and synthesis of civilizations. As an introduction, a brief background on Canadian history and culture may be useful: Having gained confederation in 1867, Canada is a very young nation. As a country in the “new world”, Canada has always been a land of both immigrants and aboriginal “first nations” people. Historically, Canadian culture often has been defined as a Canadian “mosaic” (as opposed to the American “melting pot” concept), that is, a constantly evolving fabric of distinctly defined traditions, language, and art, often preserved or sanctioned by Canadian society and government. This Canadian “mosaic” is changing and has been shaped especially by assimilation, immigration, geography, demographics, and other cultural and political issues. Originally settled by primarily British, French and American immigrants, Canada’s languages (officially English and French), culture, moral values, and political system reflect its early heritage. Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, new waves of immigration continued—Irish, German, Scandinavian, Russian, Ukrainian, Eastern and Southern European, Chinese, Japanese, and East Indian people immigrated in ever increasing numbers. A high level of immigration, recently much more racially and geographically diverse, has continued into the 21st century, resulting in a truly multicultural and racially tolerant land.

Von Sas Department: Music Advisor: Dr. Patrick Reynolds, Associate Professor of Music April, 2014 Abstract This research project examines music by twentieth-century American composers Michael Colgrass, Joseph Schwantner, and Ross Lee Finney in order to compare how different composers present an aural conception to their audience through the wind ensemble medium. An aural conception is the subject upon which the music is commenting; sight (subject) through sound. The study includes an analysis of soundscapes- collections of sounds that form an acoustic representation of an action or object- in works created by Colgrass, Schwantner, and Finney.
