An interview with Dallas Bergen By Blair Mackenzie
On April 21, CAMMAC members are in for a treat: a reading of Bruckner’s ‘Mass in E Minor’, under the direction of Dallas Bergen. Dallas is a highly regarded choral director, educator and performer. He is a past member of the Canadian Chamber Choir and The Nathaniel Dett Chorale. He is the founding Artistic Director of Univox, a Toronto community choir for young adults, and the Director of Congregational Music at First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto. He works with Regent Park School of Music as the founding conductor of their Parkdale Children’s choir and with the Toronto Arts Council where he is co-chair of the Music Committee. Born in Saskatchewan, trained in Canada and the United States, Dallas came to Toronto in 2005 where he now lives with his wife and two year old daughter. In the midst of a very full schedule, which currently includes painting the interior of his house, Dallas found time for an interview.
What drew you into music? Dallas took piano starting at age 5, but soon discovered a love for singing that became a passion and in due course a career. Dallas attended a high school in Regina which had an extremely active music program. He loved the experience of travelling and performing, which took him and his fellow high school musicians all the way to the Montreux jazz festival, an inspirational moment for a teen. High school also gave him his first experience of conducting, leading some of the younger students in rehearsals. A passion for making music and an early career orientation towards high school music teaching led him to music education studies at the University of Victoria. But he was persuaded by his teachers that he should consider singing and conducting professionally. At the end of his final tour with the university chamber choir, after a conversation with a particularly inspirational teacher, he made up his mind to do so. …continued, page 3

NOTE TO ASPIRING VOCAL SOLOISTS
Most of the pieces that we work on at our Sunday readings have vocal solo parts. Sometimes members of the choir sing these parts together. Sometimes the conductor invites his/her own soloists, and sometimes we find people to sing these parts at the readings. If you are an experienced singer and you’d like to give it a try, please contact both Peter Solomon ([email protected].) and the reading coordinator (for contact information: page 9) at .

An interview with Dallas Bergen (cont’d)
What draws you to conducting? Dallas says he has always derived enormous satisfaction from working with ensembles and making music as a group. He loves ‘getting people fired up about music’, and this extends to music of many different genres. With the choirs he leads, he routinely programs anything from Palestrina to contemporary Afrocentric music. Dallas is passionate about encouraging people to have appreciation for a broad variety of musical traditions. Conducting gives Dallas a perfect opportunity to do just that.
What led to the choice of the Bruckner Mass? Many possibilities were discussed, but in the end the Bruckner was not a difficult choice: CAMMAC has the music in its library, which saves a lot of cost; the music is melodic and approachable; and one of the choirs Dallas leads will be performing it in June. Dallas hopes that many members of his choir, perhaps as many as 50, will take part in the reading. [What a glorious, epic sound that would mean! It would be hard to imagine better circumstances under which to make the acquaintance of this seldom-heard Mass.]
What will you be up to this summer? Dallas will be directing the 180 voice choir at services during this year’s North American Unitarian Church General Assembly in Louisville, Kentucky. It is no small honour for a Canadian to be invited to do this. He will also be participating in conducting workshops as well as concertizing. But he does try to ‘unplug’ a bit in summer, and with any luck he will find himself in a canoe in Killarney before the summer is over.

Music notes Bruckner's Mass in E minor, an early masterpiece, had its first performance in September 1869. It is scored for eight-part mixed chorus, winds and brass. The work illustrates Bruckner's unique style – combining simplicity of expression, devoutness, restraint, poignancy and Italian Renaissance polyphony with romantic harmony, bold motivic development and powerful combinations of vocal and instrumental texture.

CAMMAC turns 60!
CAMMAC was founded sixty years ago by George, Madeleine, Carl and Francis Little in Montreal. CAMMAC’s founders believed that music was the best way to bring people together, no matter their age, language or culture. Today, the Lake MacDonald Music Centre, Festival CAMMAC and regional activities offer amateur musicians unique opportunities to meet and hone their skills in a helpful and friendly atmosphere guided by excellent professional musicians. At the Lake MacDonald Music Centre, in the heart of the beautiful Laurentians, children, teens and adults continue to bond, creating an extended family in which joy and passion are omnipresent.
The official launching of our 60th Anniversary celebrations will take place at the Lake MacDonald Music Centre during the weekend of May 17-20, 2013 - a special Bach, chamber music and recorder weekend - with a cocktail reception and a special concert. The multi-talented Matthias Maute (Music Director for Weeks 1 and 2) has composed music, to be available soon via the CAMMAC website, as a birthday song for CAMMAC. The words are:
Violons, flutes et clarinettes, / Dancers, singers, in the set! Enfants, moins jeunes, c’est pour vous, / For all levels, that means you! La musique à vot’ portée. / Let’s make music! Don’t delay. Soixante ans au bord du lac, / Happy birthday to CAMMAC!
OPEN HOUSE AT LAKE MAC!! Anyone who has not visited the Music Centre is invited to visit it for a day this summer, without charge. Bring your voice, your musical instrument, and a swim suit, and don’t forget your children! Phone 1-888-622-8755 free of charge to reserve your musical day now!
Thank you to our founders George, Madeleine, Carl and Frances Little!

BEETHOVEN
Mass in C
Date SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2013 Time 2 PM SHARP TO 4:30 PM (Please arrive 15 minutes early to set up.) Conductor HILARY APFELSTADT Biography Dr. Apfelstadt is the Director of Choral Activities at the University of Toronto, a position she assumed in 2010. Previous to this, Hilary was Professor and Director of Choral Activities at the Ohio State University in Columbus, where she also served as Associate Director of the School of Music. She conducts the MacMillan Singers and teaches at the undergraduate and graduate level. She has conducted in the U.S., Canada, England, Austria, Switzerland and Cuba. Music notes The Mass in C major was commissioned by Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy in 1807. In fulfilling this commission, Beethoven was extending a tradition established by Haydn, i.e. composing one mass per year for the Esterhazy family, to celebrate the name day of the Prince’s wife. When the Prince did not appreciate the mass, Beethoven was angered and felt publicly humiliated. However, it is a work of strong emotional content and authenticity.

Three recent readings reviewed
An Encounter with Young Handel By Peter Solomon On January 20 we had the privilege of reading one of Handel’s first major works, the Dixit Dominus, under the inspired direction of Ivars Taurins, conductor of the Tafelmusik Choir and professor of conducting at the University of Toronto. A setting of Psalm 110 scored in “fives” (five part choir, five string parts, five soloists, and continuo), Dixit Dominus is an especially challenging piece. Its musical lines are full of scales and melismas, and they call for high levels of agility and musicianship from singers and players alike. Evidently, the 22 year old Handel wanted to show his hosts that he was every bit their match in writing intricate and dramatic polyphonic music. Dixit Dominus is a difficult piece to sight read, but in the expert hands of Ivars Taurins, the group of nearly 75 singers and instrumentalists met the challenge, in due course performing the work with precision and élan. This reflected both the conductor’s facility and his ability to communicate, in words and actions, what the music was all about. In short, this was an inspiring and memorable event, a highlight among the many excellent readings organized by CAMMAC.
Reading the Lord Nelson Mass By Gerald Martindale On February 17, under the skilful and energetic direction of David Weaver, who teaches vocal music at H. B. Beal Secondary School in London, Ontario, a large number of singers and instrumentalists gathered together for the CAMMAC music reading of the Lord Nelson Mass by Haydn. David brought about 10 singers from his own community ensemble, the London Singers and Orchestra. The excellent soloists were soprano Iris Krizmanic, alto Wendy Simons, tenor Andrew Byerla, and bass John Holland. While reading this work, we were transported from the greatest depths of despair in the opening Kyrie to a great and certain joy in the concluding movement, Dona nobis pacem (grant us peace).
Reading a New Composition By Peter Solomon The March reading represented a milestone for the Toronto branch of CAMMAC—the first time (to my knowledge) that we have performed music only just completed by its composer. The piece was Stations and the composer is Jacqueline Sadler, who also conducted. Based on the biblical texts of the Stations of the Cross, Stations has incisive and forceful lyrics written by playwright Ray Storey. It features choir, orchestra, and nine soloists, who in various combinations play a leading role in the piece. The vocal lines are lyrical, but the music also pulses with compound rhythms (especially three plus three plus two) and gains colour from chromatic passages. Reminiscent of the Mass by Leonard Bernstein, the style is eclectic and contains references to popular as well as classic forbears. Ms. Sadler brought soloists from her own choir, and under her precise baton, a large and skillful group of orchestral players and singers joined to produce a lively performance. All in all, a satisfying experience!
