EMC LOSES HOME AND RESOURCES<br />
IN LIBRARY AND ARCHIVES CANADA<br />
Library and Archives Canada withdrew access to its research collection and<br />
cancelled office space and resources for The Encyclopedia of Music in<br />
Canada in mid-May. At that time all access to the library for non-LAC workers,<br />
such as volunteers and external agencies like the EMC, was cancelled.<br />
Access to the stacks is also denied to those enrolled in LAC practicum courses,<br />
which provides work experience for university students. LAC Archives<br />
Head Daniel Caron revoked access for potential security reasons just three<br />
weeks after he stepped into his portfolio.<br />
According to Senior Subject Editor Betty King, EMC was given only e-mail<br />
notice just a few days before having to move out. She said the EMC had<br />
never proven to be a cause for security issues in the past. Since May 14, EMC<br />
has lost its office and has had to make written applications in order to reaccess<br />
materials in the library.<br />
The EMC has occupied space in LAC ’s Ottawa building since its inception<br />
over 30 years ago. The encyclopedia is committed to documenting the wide<br />
variety of Canadian music and musical culture in all genres. It published two<br />
print editions, one in 1981 and one in 1992, before becoming accessible in a<br />
searchable online database through the Historica Foundation.<br />
The EMC is still in operation, and its editors are attempting to work out a<br />
NOTES<br />
possible solution with LAC. “EMC remains hopeful that we can work something<br />
out with LAC, and that a solution can be found so that we can continue<br />
to have quick and easy access to their specialized music collections,” said<br />
King.“Discussions with LAC are underway. Since the research we do is so specialized<br />
and has to be done by specialists with a music background, reducing<br />
our access to the same level that the general public has will not be sufficient<br />
to meet our needs. The specialized music collections and music Canadiana<br />
that LAC holds are invaluable to EMC’s daily operations.”<br />

LA PETITE BANDE EST SAUVÉE !<br />
On s’en souviendra, l’orchestre de Sigiswald Kuijken, la Petite Bande,<br />
menacé de perdre les subventions qui assuraient sa survie, avait réagi en lançant<br />
une pétition Internet. Devant le succès de l’opération (près de 21000<br />
signatures venues du monde entier), le ministère de la Culture de la<br />
Belgique a changé d’avis et redonne à l’orchestre les moyens de poursuivre<br />
son œuvre au moins jusqu’en 2012. Bel exemple des fruits que peut porter<br />
la solidarité entre musiciens et mélomanes, d’autant qu’on compte parmi<br />
les signataires la plupart des grands noms de la musique ancienne (Savall,<br />
Gardiner, Bartoli…), mais aussi d’autres interprètes qui ne sont pas forcément<br />
associés à ce répertoire (Daniel Barenboim, Alexandre Tharaud…). PG<br />

14-8 ERRATA<br />
In his article “Lucia di <strong>La</strong>mmermoor: Madness and Mayhem at the Montreal Opera”,<br />
Joseph So says that he heard Eglise Gutierrez as the Fairy Godmother in Rossini’s <strong>La</strong><br />
Cenerentola in Santa Fe; in fact, he heard her in Massenet’s Cendrillon.<br />
L’ENVOLÉE<br />
MONTREAL PARK NAMED IN HONOUR OF OSCAR PETERSON<br />
After a highly publicized but failed October 2008 attempt to rename<br />
Lionel-Groulx metro station after Oscar Peterson, the city of Montreal<br />
has approved the renaming of Campbell Centre Park to pay tribute to<br />
the legendary jazz pianist, who passed away in Mississaugua in<br />
December 2007. Plans are in motion for the park to host music festivals<br />
and other public events beginning this summer.<br />
Peterson, an officer of the Order of Canada and a winner of the<br />
Governor General’s Award, grew up just blocks away from the park in the<br />
Little Burgundy neighbourhood. A group of lobbyists from the neighbourhood,<br />
The Coalition of Little Burgundy, started pushing for the name<br />
change shortly after Peterson’s passing. The same coalition,<br />
led by Université de Montréal law student<br />
Michael Citrome, had also lobbied to rename the<br />
metro station.<br />
Campbell Centre Park was originally named after<br />
Charles Campbell, a lawyer who left funding for the<br />
creation of parks and music concerts for the public<br />
after he passed away in 1923. Now that the<br />
approval of the Campbell family and the<br />
municipal government has been<br />
received, Campbell’s two original<br />
aims will be joined as one,<br />
with a public park honouring<br />
a music great and featuring<br />
musical performances. CC<br />
