Simon Fraser University Library Burnaby, BC, Canada Last revision: Spring 09 ABSTRACT ―Metamorphosis‖ draws a parallel between classical music and Western philosophy and attempts to analyze the transformative impact that this kind of music may have on education. The current thesis explores the possibility that all musics and art can mould character, for better or for worse, while acknowledging that absolute proof is not possible. This perspective is based on my thirty-five years experience as a composer, conductor and teacher of classical music. Most importantly, this thesis should be regarded as a proposal of qualitative research that has been applied to Western music and philosophy from a neo-Platonic perspective. ―Metamorphosis‖ is a hypothesis – it brings forth new ideas and generates questions. The first part – THE THEORY – proposes the term philosophic music. This term is intended to encourage a debate about aesthetics and art categories from a new perspective encompassing genres, periods and cultures. I believe that philosophic music may be found everywhere: in Asia, Africa or Europe; in classical music, jazz or punk. However, for reasons of subjective experience, concision and clarity the current dissertation focuses on Western classical music vis-à-vis our educational system in British Columbia. This chapter could also be regarded as another theoretical argument aiming to change the contemporary perspective on music as mere entertainment or vehicle for political and social iii protest. I posit that philosophic music has an intimate relationship with philosophy in general and its association with the Good (in the Platonic sense). The second part - THE METHOD – focuses on the importance of attentive listening as an active process and suggests a solution that may be applied in music classes to boost students‘ creativity. Finally, the third part - THE TOOL: The Alternative Listening Program – presents a syllabus organized by grades (1 – 12), weeks and days. It offers more than six hundred musical titles ready to be used in the classroom by those interested to do so. All are accompanied by a compendium of audio sources. ―Metamorphosis‖ hopes to open doors that will encourage future research applied to other music genres, and possibly, other cultural environments. Keywords: Music education; classical music; popular music; listening syllabus Grades 1-12; philosophic music; attentive listening; transformative music. iv DEDICATION To my wife, Elena (Ileana) whose constant and carrying support and limitless understanding have been the bedrock of my journey towards this thesis. To my daughter, Andreea, always a relief and an inspiration. To my father, conductor, composer and professor Emilian Ursu, whose steadfast admiration for the Western Civilization‘s accomplishments and passion for music as the bearer of a spiritual and philosophic message were a beacon of my childhood and of my early adult life. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I would like to thank Dr. Yarsolav Senyshyn – my supervisor - whose passion, support and devotion were inspirational. His guidance was invaluable for the completion of this thesis. Dr. Senyshyn‘s incredible kindness and his towering intellectual and artistic stature – ―un uomo universale‖, a Renaissance man – will always represent for me an aspiration, an ideal yet to be attained. A special thank to Dr. Stuart Richmond whose ideas about ethics, philosophy, and art greatly influenced my writing. An accomplished artist himself, Dr. Richmond expanded my horizon and generously gave up his own time in order to be at my side when I most needed him. I would also like to express my appreciation to Dr. Richard Kurth and Dr. Heesoon Bai for their interesting insights. Their suggestions turned this thesis into a better, more limpid philosophical excursion. Last but not least I would like to thank Dr. Susan O'Neill, the Chair of my Examining Committee. Under Dr. O'Neill's outstanding leadership and unparalleled balance my defence turned out to be a feast of intellectual enjoyment. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Approval .......................................................................................................................... ii Abstract .......................................................................................................................... iii Dedication ....................................................................................................................... v Acknowledgements ........................................................................................................ vi Table of Contents .......................................................................................................... vii Introduction ................................................................................................................... 1 1: Part I.

  • Myra Hess Had to Wait for Her Ultimate Breakthrough in Her English Homeland; for This Reason, She Initially Had to Earn Her Living by Teaching
    Hess, Myra Irene Scharrer. However, Myra Hess had to wait for her ultimate breakthrough in her English homeland; for this reason, she initially had to earn her living by teaching. Her first major success abroad was her debut in Amster- dam, where she performed Schumann's Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 54 with the Concertgebouw Orchestra un- der Willem Mengelberg in 1912. In 1922 followed her de- but in New York, where she was celebrated with equal en- thusiasm. Her career advanced rapidly from that point onwards, and she rose to the position of one of the most successful pianists in her homeland during the ensuing years. During the 1930s, she undertook extended concert tours throughout all of Europe, including the Scandinavi- an countries, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Rumania, Tur- key, Yugoslavia, Germany, France and Holland. At the be- ginning of the Second World War, when all of London's concert halls were closed, she founded the legendary "Lunchtime Recitals" at the National Gallery, offering the London public a broad spectrum of high-quality pro- grammes with both young and established musicians. She herself performed at the National Gallery 146 times. The concerts were held without interruption until 10 Ap- Die Pianistin Myra Hess ril 1946.

  • George Frideric Handel (1685-1759)
    George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) Messiah Handel was, like most composers of his day, a fast worker, but few of his scores show such evidence of having been written at white heat as that of Messiah, which was set down on paper in a mere 24 days, between 22 August and 14 September 1741. Earlier the same year he had received an invitation from the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to visit Dublin in order to give some concerts in aid of charitable institutions in the city, and it was probably with this impending concert tour in view that he composed his new oratorio. His early biographer John Mainwaring, in his Memoirs of the Life of the late George Frederic Handel published in 1760, a year after the composer's death, seems to have been responsible for the widely credited theory that Handel went to Ireland after "his Messiah had met with a cold reception" in London, and because "he hoped to find that favour and encouragement in a distant capital, which London seemed to refuse him", but there is no evidence that this was so. Indeed a copy of Mainwaring's book carries a terse note in the margin, in the hand of its original owner, Charles Jennens (who, as Handel's collaborator, had good cause to know) that "Messiah was not performed in London till after his return from Ireland." Moreover, Charles Burney (who as a 15-year-old school boy in Chester witnessed a rehearsal of some of the choruses in Messiah that Handel held there in November 1741 while on his way from London to Dublin) devoted several paragraphs of his General History of Music (1776-89) to proving the falseness of Mainwaring's assertion.

Zwicker Excerpt More information 1 STEVEN N. ZWICKER Composing a literary life: introduction John Dryden has come down to us through the exemplary practices of liter- ary editing: a large number of uniform volumes, learnedly prefaced, packed with history and explanatory notes. Who first thought of The Works of John Dryden? Not, I think, the poet himself. During his long writing life Dryden showed little interest in collecting or revising his work; neither he nor appar- ently anyone else kept his manuscripts; and Dryden seldom wrote of, or even seems to have imagined, a coherent and progressive literary career of the kind that was often on Spenser’s or Milton’s mind. Of course, the idea of collected works would have been obvious to Dryden from the humanist editions of classical authors, from The Works of Ben Jonson or the Shakespeare folios, or from collected editions even closer to hand – Cowley, Cleveland, and Suckling. Dryden himself contributed an elegy to John Oldham’s Remains, and he knew too of the CEuvres of Corneille and Racine. His shrewd pub- lisher Jacob Tonson made an effort at such collection in the 1690s, but the sustained impulse to collect “the works” began after Dryden’s death, first with Tonson’s various compilations of poems and plays, then at the end of the eighteenth century with Edmond Malone’s edition of Dryden’s prose.

  • MAHANI TEAVE Concert Pianist  Educator  Environmental Activist
    MAHANI TEAVE concert pianist educator environmental activist ABOUT MAHANI Award-winning pianist and humanitarian Mahani Teave is a pioneering artist who bridges the creative world with education and environmental activism. The only professional classical musician on her native Easter Island, she is an important cultural ambassador to this legendary, cloistered area of Chile. Her debut album, Rapa Nui Odyssey, launched as number one on the Classical Billboard charts and received raves from critics, including BBC Music Magazine, which noted her “natural pianism” and “magnificent artistry.” Believing in the profound, healing power of music, she has performed globally, from the stages of the world’s foremost concert halls on six continents, to hospitals, schools, jails, and low-income areas. Twice distinguished as one of the 100 Women Leaders of Chile, she has performed for its five past presidents and in its Embassy, along with those in Germany, Indonesia, Mexico, China, Japan, Ecuador, Korea, Mexico, and symbolic places including Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate, Chile’s Palacio de La Moneda, and Chilean Congress. Her passion for classical music, her local culture, and her Island’s environment, along with an intense commitment to high-quality music education for children, inspired Mahani to set aside her burgeoning career at the age of 30 and return to her Island to found the non-profit organization Toki Rapa Nui with Enrique Icka, creating the first School of Music and the Arts of Easter Island. A self-sustaining ecological wonder, the school offers both classical and traditional Polynesian lessons in various instruments to over 100 children. Toki Rapa Nui offers not only musical, but cultural, social and ecological support for its students and the area.

We would surely have preferred to blend our voices as we always have, in a live performance. But the pandemic opened the door to a new and different opportunity. As we saw the coronavirus wreak havoc around the world, it seemed natural to reach out to our friends in other locales and include them in this program. In our reimagined version of the Fauré Requiem, Ars Choralis is joined, from Belgium, by the Brussels Choral Society, the Magna Graecia Flute Choir of Calabria, Italy, the Dessoff Choirs from New York City, and, from New York, instrumentalists from the Albany area, New York City and the Hudson Valley.

The series follows the family’s story for more than a century, from Theodore’s birth in 1858 to Eleanor’s death in 1962. Over the course of those years, Theodore would become the 26th president of the United States, and his beloved niece, Eleanor, would marry his fifth cousin, Franklin, who became the 32nd president.
