  • Parsifal and Canada: a Documentary Study
    Parsifal and Canada: A Documentary Study The Canadian Opera Company is preparing to stage Parsifal in Toronto for the first time in 115 years; seven performances are planned for the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts from September 25 to October 18, 2020. Restrictions on public gatherings imposed as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic have placed the production in jeopardy. Wagnerians have so far suffered the cancellation of the COC’s Flying Dutchman, Chicago Lyric Opera’s Ring cycle and the entire Bayreuth Festival for 2020. It will be a hard blow if the COC Parsifal follows in the footsteps of a projected performance of Parsifal in Montreal over 100 years ago. Quinlan Opera Company from England, which mounted a series of 20 operas in Montreal in the spring of 1914 (including a complete Ring cycle), announced plans to return in the fall of 1914 for another feast of opera, including Parsifal. But World War One intervened, the Parsifal production was cancelled, and the Quinlan company went out of business. Let us hope that history does not repeat itself.1 While we await news of whether the COC production will be mounted, it is an opportune time to reflect on Parsifal and its various resonances in Canadian music history. This article will consider three aspects of Parsifal and Canada: 1) a performance history, including both excerpts and complete presentations; 2) remarks on some Canadian singers who have sung Parsifal roles; and 3) Canadian scholarship on Parsifal.

RICHARD E. RODDA LUDWIG VAN BEETHOVEN Concerto in D major for Violin and Orchestra, Opus 61 (1806) Ludwig van Beethoven was born in Bonn on December 16, 1770, and died in Vienna on March 26, 1827. He composed his Violin Concerto in 1806, and it was premiered at the Theater-an-der-Wien in Vienna with Beethoven conducting and soloist Franz Clement on December 23, 1806. The Pittsburgh Symphony first performed the concerto at Carnegie Music Hall with conductor Victor Herbert and violinist Luigi von Kunits in November 1898, and most recently performed it with music director Manfred Honeck and violinist Christian Tetzlaff in June 2015. The score calls for flute, pairs of oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, and trumpets, timpani and strings. Performance time: approximately 45 minutes. In 1794, two years after he moved to Vienna from Bonn, Beethoven attended a concert by an Austrian violin prodigy named Franz Clement.

  • Conservatory of Music Piano Examinations, 1887-2015: Their Impact and Influence
    A HISTORY OF THE ROYAL (TORONTO) CONSERVATORY OF MUSIC PIANO EXAMINATIONS, 1887-2015: THEIR IMPACT AND INFLUENCE TATIANA VOITOVITCH-CAMILLERI A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN MUSIC YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO November 2019 © Tatiana Voitovitch-Camilleri, 2019 ii ABSTRACT Since its inception in 1887, the Royal Conservatory of Music has maintained its position as one of the largest and oldest community-based music schools and education centres in North America, with an integrated examination body and a comprehensive graded curriculum, influencing and shaping the Canadian musical landscape. For the past 130 years, the Conservatory has presented a wide-ranging art music repertoire for studying piano and offered a comprehensive system for assessing students’ progress through its Examinations, recently retitled as The Certificate Program. The Conservatory’s internal examinations began in 1887, with the external examinations following in 1898. The latter preserved the format of the former and expanded through increasing the number of the examination centres across Canada for both financial and educational reasons. Despite varying opinions of professionals and amateurs on the efficacy and value of the piano examinations in particular from the beginning, this dissertation, using historical sources and interviews, argues that over the years the structure and content of the piano examinations, while innately conservative on the whole, have kept up with a changing demographic of students across the country, and either countered or taken on the many criticisms that surrounded them over the years despite geographical and financial challenges, and indeed competition from other institutions.

  • Herbert in Pittsburgh
    From the "Idol's Eye" to "Tristan":Victor Herbert in Pittsburgh Robert F. Schmalz University of Southwestern Louisiana For nearly a century, the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have been represented by two of the nation's finest orchestral ensembles. Although colorful and sometimes controversial personalities spice the histories of both organiza- tions, Victor Herbert's mercurial career as conductor of the Pittsburgh orchestra is particularly noteworthy. Indeed, during his brief tenure in Pittsburgh the composer of "Babes in Toyland" and "Naughty Marietta" exerted an extraordi- nary influence on the musical life of his adopted city. Victor Herbert succeeded Frederick Archer to become the second conduc- tor of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra in 1898, only the fourth season of the orchestra's existence. Inheriting an organization which was confused and divided over Archer's dismissal, the thirty-eight year old conductor launched a six-year association which proved to be a rewarding experience for the city, the orchestra, and the conductor alike. Those who anticipated a new beginning were not disappointed. Herbert brought with him to Pittsburgh a decidedly popular image. Born on February 1, 1859, he was the grandson of Samuel Lover, an Irish novelist, poet and songwriter. He had pursued a musical career in Germany, studying at the Stuttgart Conservatory. Herbert toured France, Germany and Italy as cello soloist with the Stuttgart Orchestra in the late 1870's and early 1880's. It was during this period that he produced his first compositions, completing both a suite and a concerto for cello and orchestra, as well as several songs.
