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 />
