PODIUM<br />

The 1995-96 Toronto concert<br />

season, with eight and a half<br />

months behind it and one ahead,<br />

· is drawing to its close. With<br />

three to five concerts on a<br />

typical weeknight and as many as<br />

ten on a weekend evening, it has<br />

been like · a continuous music<br />

festival here since mid '<br />

September.<br />

Already some of the major<br />

concert s{!ries are finished -<br />

Music Toronto, the Ford Centre ·<br />

and the Faculty of Music at U of<br />

T - although others, notably the<br />

Toronto Symphqny Orchestra<br />

will continue until near the end<br />

of the month.<br />

Choral music also continues<br />

well into <strong>June</strong> with well over a<br />

dozen concerts by some of our<br />

best choirs, including the ,<br />

JAZZ<br />

IN OR<br />

OUT!<br />

Dear Pulse:<br />

Do you or don't you list<br />

jazz?<br />

I have noticed jazz<br />

concerts at the Glenn<br />

Gould Studio and Waiter<br />

Hall in Pulse, but the<br />

CJR T jazz concerts at the<br />

Science Centre have been<br />

conspicuous by their<br />

absence.<br />

For me jazz and<br />

classical are a continuum.<br />

I would like to be able to<br />

rely on your publication<br />

to keep informed of<br />

both.<br />

But I know I can't<br />

now because, unlike your<br />

classical music listings,<br />

your coverage of jazz is<br />

spotty (to put it mildly).<br />

It seems as if you haven't<br />

I<br />

I<br />

really decided whether or<br />

not jazz belongs in your<br />

magazine.<br />

Maybe you don't have<br />

room to put what's<br />

happening in the clubs,<br />

but I, for one, would very<br />

much appreciate it if you<br />

could make the same<br />

e-ffort to put together<br />

comprehensive jazz-inconcert<br />

listings as you<br />

make with your classical<br />

listings.<br />

But with the arrival of warmer<br />

weather (finally) Torontonians<br />

~re beginning to think more<br />

about being out of doors,<br />

preferably out of the city.<br />

and the out-of-town music<br />

. festival season is beginning with<br />

the Guelph Spring Festival<br />

offering some wonderful music<br />

this month. Others will pick up<br />

the thread in July and August.<br />

More about that in July.<br />

Meanwhile, even though <strong>June</strong> has<br />

only about half the number of<br />

concerts that May had, there are<br />

many very interesting ones (see<br />

ConcertNotes, page 3). We<br />

hope you will get to one or two<br />

before the season is over.<br />

So far, our policy has<br />

been to list jazz-inconcert<br />

when it jumps<br />

up and bites us.<br />

lt's been hard enough<br />

getting our classical &<br />

new act together. Does<br />

jazz need the same<br />

informational tainsfusion?<br />

We don't have a<br />

definitive answer--but<br />

next season is a new<br />

we 're open to persuasion,<br />

SEEKING PERFECT SoUND 1: Church of St. Mary Magdalene<br />

BY FRANK LOCKWOOD<br />

This is the first in a series<br />

. profiling music performance<br />

venues in Toronto.<br />

In my professional<br />

activities as a recording<br />

engineer/producer for<br />

classical music, ( have the<br />

opportunity to assess the<br />

acoustics of many churches<br />

and concert halls as well as<br />

attending performances.<br />

As a new T orontonian, I<br />

am being introduced to<br />

several locations for the first<br />

time, and hope to share<br />

some of what I discover with<br />

you.<br />

The Church of S.aint<br />

Mary Magdalene has<br />

one of the most distinguished<br />

musical legacies in Canada.<br />

The church was founded in<br />

1888 by the Rev. Charles<br />

Darling, and designed by his<br />

brother Frank, a prominent<br />

Toronto architect.<br />

The interior exhibits many Choir, a small chorus of<br />

of the architectural features men at the front of the<br />

common to the Romanesque church, with the rest of the<br />

revival, notably the rounded Mass and a Motet or Anthem<br />

arches, the barrel vaulting of sung by the Gallery Choir, a<br />

the north aisle and the lightly mixed chorus located in the<br />

tinted or clear glass in the loft at the back. This<br />

windows. The combination of antiphonal disposition of<br />

the plaster walls and the · voices makes a significant<br />

wooden floor makes for lively contribution to the Solemn<br />

reverberation and the<br />

High Mass services, held each<br />

complex shape of the interior Sunday at 11:00 a.m.<br />

resulting in a smooth, maintained and developed by<br />

uncoloured sound quality. Dr. Robert Hunter Bell, who<br />

A choir director I know has forged an ongoing<br />

'just makes you want to Classics (EMI) providing a<br />

until 1968.<br />

CD. Preparations are now<br />

Under Willan, the music underway for a second<br />

of the Mass was divided into recording to be released later<br />

parts sung by the Ritual this year.<br />

PULSE<br />

Other musical activities<br />

throughout the year include<br />

concerts of chamber, choral<br />

. and organ music.<br />

The church is located at<br />

477 Manning Avenue north<br />

and west of College and<br />

Bathurst, at the corner of<br />

Manning and Ulster, (just a<br />

few blocks from either<br />

Christie er Bathurst Subway).<br />

This is a residential area,<br />

so parking is at a premium.<br />

The building has full access<br />

for the handicapped. The<br />

Church of Saint Mary<br />

Magdalene is a fine example<br />

of how a building, a musical<br />

tradition and the dedicated<br />

support of a community can<br />

come together to enrich the<br />

cultura'llife of the whole city.<br />

<strong>June</strong> '96 •S• PULS~<br />

Harmonious partnership: Lydia Adams and the Amadeus Choir<br />

BY ALLAN PULKER<br />

At a recent rehearsal I<br />

attended, the Amadeus Choir<br />

was preparing for their<br />

upcoming <strong>June</strong> 1 concert at<br />

the Ford Centre.<br />

They were rehearsi.ng some<br />

stirring music from the<br />

English choral tradition:<br />

Charles Stanford Tomkins,<br />

Vaughan Williams,. Hubert<br />

Parry and choral luminary Sir<br />

David Willcocks, who will<br />

share the podi urn with Ms.<br />

Adams <strong>June</strong> 1.<br />

Influences<br />

Willcocks has played an<br />

important role in Lydia<br />

Adams' musical life.<br />

She was born and grew up<br />

in Glace Bay Nova Scotia,<br />

where her mother directed<br />

one of the lo1=al church<br />

choirs. She studied piano and<br />

voice and sang in her .<br />

mother's choir (her mother<br />

now sings in the Amadeus!)<br />

She attended Mount<br />

Allison University as a piano<br />

major. but immersed herself<br />

in choirs as well. (She credits<br />

''Mount A" choral conductor,<br />

George Evelyn, for his<br />

influence at this time.)<br />

She then did post-graduate<br />

work at London's Royal<br />

College ofMusi.c with<br />

Willcocks and sang in his<br />

300-voice Bach Choir.<br />

''W i llcocks" she says "was<br />

not afraid to give<br />

opportunities to others."<br />

conducting a work by great<br />

20th century composer<br />

Herbert Howells, in the<br />

·presence of the composer.<br />

"London was fantastic" she<br />

told me. A choice of great<br />

performers every night. And<br />

.lseler<br />

One summer, between terms<br />

at London's RCM, she<br />

worked as an accompanist at<br />

the Nova Scotia Choral<br />

Federation adult choir camp.<br />

Elmer Iseler invited her to<br />

Toronto to become the Elmer<br />

Iseler Singers accompanist ..<br />

She kept him waiting a<br />

year while she completed her<br />

studies, but in 1981 took the<br />

position which she was to<br />

hold for 13 years.<br />

It was while with the Iseler<br />

Singers, in 1985, that she<br />

became conductor of the<br />

Amadeus Choir.<br />

Perfect match<br />

Adams and the Amadeus<br />

Choir are such a perfect<br />

match that one forgets the<br />

choir predates her.<br />

It was founded in 1974 by<br />

members of the choir of St.<br />

of them, Barbara Hodgins,<br />

still sings in the choir.<br />

'The Amadeus is still<br />

above all else, an amateur<br />

community choir" says.<br />

Adams. (Members range in<br />

age from 14 to 81.) "Choral<br />

singing really promotes a<br />

sense of community."<br />

One innovation she<br />

brought to the choir<br />

illustrates this beautifully ··<br />

the choir's annual<br />

competition for new<br />

compositions · Christmas<br />

Carols and now Chanukah<br />

songs as well.<br />

I complimented her on<br />

this. "Oh, that was David<br />

Willcock's idea" she said<br />

"He's done it for years with<br />

the Bach Choir and the<br />

Phi lip Jones Brass Ensemble<br />

at the Royal Albert ·· an<br />

audience of 8000 people!"<br />

It works, she told me,<br />

because the carol is such an ·<br />

accessible form, "People are<br />

not afraid to try." Hundreds<br />

of pieces have been entered in<br />

th~ competition over the<br />

years, many from children.<br />

The Amadeus Choir keeps<br />

busy under her leadership.<br />

The choir has just won<br />

second prize in the CBC<br />

amateur choir competition.<br />

And they have an ambitious<br />

96-97 agenda: a four-concert<br />

series at the Ford Centre; and<br />

performances with the<br />

Hannaford Stre_~t _Silver Band,<br />

Scarborough Phi )harmonic<br />

and the TSO.<br />

Giving credit<br />

In addition to the rehearsal I<br />

attended, I chatted with her<br />

(at the Bayview Second Cup<br />

(one of Pulse's distribution<br />

points!) for over an hour.<br />

I was struck by how readily<br />

she credits others ·· David<br />

And that's Lydia Adams,<br />

her own contribution.<br />

What We're Not<br />

X There are a lot of things we're not. Firstly, we're not big.<br />

We never intended to be a supermarket - never will be.<br />

X We don't have everything in our store - There's a lot that<br />

we don't sell - either by our own choice or by our lack of space.<br />

X In our selection of meat you won't find regular chickens - or<br />

blade steaks, or ••• there's a lot of types of meat we don't sell.<br />

. Same with fresh produce - You'll find that we have<br />

a selected assortment.<br />

X You won't find that we're the cheapest. We're sure that if you look<br />

around enough you'll find that some of our items are cheaper<br />

elsewhere.<br />

X We're not what you'd call modern -<br />

and no neon. No glitz, please!<br />

very little chrome<br />

We're not a lot of these things .<br />

./ But WHAT WE ARE IS OLD-FASHIONED fRIENDLY,<br />

DOWN-TO- EARTH, KNOWLEDGEABLE, AND DRIVEN BY A<br />

TOTAL COMMITMENT TO THE QUALITY OF OUR MEAT.<br />

WE'RE A SMALL COSY STORE, WE'RE FAIRLY PRICED, AND<br />

WE MAKE A LOT OF WHAT WE SELL - AND WE CARE ABOUT<br />

WHAT WE SELL<br />

I<br />

IF YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT YOU BUY AND HOW GOOD IT IS - ,<br />

YOU'LL WANT TO PAY US A VISIT - THAT'S OUR BUSINESS!<br />
