The Great Name Change Game 

It's been an interesting journey from Pulse to wholenote 

One reader, very eru;ly on, said "... you will probably get 

many, many letters from readers telling you how wonderful 

PULSE is." True enough! And we did. 

"... Your excellent "ImPulse" and "SimPulse" 

magazine" (Brian Wilson, (Chris Dawes) and "Re- 

North York); "What a good Pulse" (Ruth Budd) and 

idea! (Pulse, that is.)" (Patty "Plus" and "Pulsate" (a real 

Llossa, New fork); "I crowd favourite). . 

appreciate it & enjoy it very But then the tide started 

much." (Elena, Etobicoke); to turn. None of the x-Pulse 

"... most useful, entertaining names was as simply musical 

... constantly growing and as the original. What about . 

improving magazine:" (Fred future readers who'd never 

Kurban, North York); "a heard of Pulse? 

tremendous.asset in assessing We decided the new 

what is playing ...." (Steve name would have to stand on 

Living, Borough of York); " its own.

information." (Douglas arrived: ..."My suggestion is: 

Schalin, Toronto); 

The Whole Note. You could 

"entertaining and informative do whimsical things with the

Many of the early letters We started rolling it 

recommended staying with round our mouths (along

~es 

April is exploding with music, 

even by Toronto standards. 

Take 3pm Sunday April6for 

example. Is there a category for 

simultaneous downtbeats in the 

Guiness Book of World 

Records? 

(That particular day, by the way 

sets a Pulsejwholenote record 

for most concerts on one day.) 

All this to say, om approach in 

these concert notes is even more 

scattergun and haphazard than 

usual. 

YOUTH SERVES 

April 5 East York Symphony, 

and violinist, Timothy Haig, 

winner of this year's Kiwanis 

Youth Competition, perform 

Ravel's Tzigane, (a work 

performed by .Jacques 

Israelievitch at his 1967 Paris 

debut recital). Also on the 

program is Samuel Barber's 

wonderful Adagio for Strings. 

DUCK! 

Was it bassoon or oboe that 

once got defined as an ill-wind 

that nobody blows good? 

Whichever, if yoW' favourite 

character in Peter & the Wolf 

was the duck, you should 

hightail it to Gary Arms~ong 

Woodwinds' Canadian Oboe 

Festival April 5 & 6. 

It includes a concert featuring 

many of the best oboe players in 

Canada as well as leading 

Ainerican oboist, Richard 

Killmer, professor Qf oboe at the 

Eastman Music School. For 

more information about the 

festival, phone Gary Armstrong

UNIQUE 

The Canadian Music 

Competitions occupy a unique 

place in the Canadian music 

scene. 

Started in 1959 as the Quebec' 

Music Competitions, they have 

spread across the country, filling 

a need for a music competition 

that could prepare students for 

and propel them into 

' international' competition. 

According to Gabriel Leung, 

music director of the 

· competitions, the list of alumni 

of the competitions reads like a 

who's who of Canadian 

musicians and includes Louis 

Lortie, Ofra Harnoy, Angela 

Cheng and Martin Beaver. 

A non-profit organization, 

staffed by volunteers, "the 

Competitions" receives 

donations from corporations 

, 

5 

such as Yamaha Canada and 

also generate funds from selling 

tickets to concerts like the 

Sunday MatineeJin Missi~uga 

. on April 6 and the CMC Gala 

:concert on Sunday, April 27 at 

the Gienn Gould Studio. (The 

latter concert features recent 

winners of the Competitions - 

,violinist, Eugene Nakamura, 

oboist, Joseph Salvalaggio, 

cellist, Rachel Mercer and · 

· pianist(and. M.D.), Jason Li:)

NEW ''MUSICTHEATREMUSIC" SHINGLE MAKES FOR STRANGE. STABLEMATES! 

There are 26 shows 

tinder our 

MUSICTHEATREMUSI 

c shingle this month. 

Quite a range too. 

PILGRIM 

One of the most 

unusual is St. James' 

Cathedral's A 

Pilgrim in 1ime, described by its 

producers as "a new work about 

history, community, faith and 

journey". 

The production staff are 

theatre pros specializing in 

community-based theatre. As 

such their commitment is to the · 

piece as art and to- helping 

community participants in reach 

their own potential. 

The production will thus 'be 

shaped, to an unusual degree, by 

its participants' skllls and 

interests. Pilgrim in 1ime runs 

three days only. . 

Canadian Stage Company's 

current fnustheat 'venture is 

Stephen Sondheim and James 

Lapine's recent musical, ,Passion, 

described in their promo as "a 

compelling· tale of love's 

reckless, relentless, fury, and its 

power to shatter or redeem." 

Whew'. 

Passion runs April 7 to May 

lOr(by which time, everyone 

will no doubt be exhausted!). 

On the community front, 

Robert Wright and George 

Forrest's adaptation of Borodin, 

Kismet, produced by the 

Scarborough Choral Society, 

plays April 11-13 and 17 -19. 

And Curtain Call Players' 

production of Lionel Bart's 

miver runs April 17-19 and 24- 

26. . 

Watch for Toronto Operetta 

Theatre's Canadian premiere of 

Antonin Dvorak's opera, 

· Rusalka, a mere 96 years after 

its original Euro -an · remiere! 

Canadian Children's Opera Chorus 

presents 

And watch for PM 

Productions' remount 

of their debut rockmusical 

Job and the 

Snake at Trinity Basement 

Theatre, 619 

Sherbourne Street. 

(Among the 10 

ensemble leads is recording 

artist, Kevin . 

Conn~lly, whom Nick Krewen 

of the Hamilton Spectator called 

"one of the best tenors Canada 

has produced'' Even if he's only 

half right... . 

. Also in April, Opera Atelier 

will remount its production of 

G.F. Handel's Acis and 

Galatea, his masterpiece, more 

performed tn his lifetin1e than 

anything else he wrote. This 

production will introduce 'to 

Toronto audienceS two English 

tenors, Richard Edgar Wilson 

and Matthew Hargreaves. This 

production of Handel's "salon" 

piece features au~entic ' 

costumes and a "period" 

orchestra .conducted by David 

Fallis. 

And watch out for two 

productions involving children 

during this period. First is 

Shevchenko Musical · 

E,psemble's Pet~r and the Wolf 

at the Betty Oliphant Theatre on 

SUnday April 6. 

The second is the Canadian

THE BAND STAND,' APRH.l991 

Some of you will remember that last issue we mused on the 

place of concert bands in 'our nusicallives, and wondered out 

loud if there was enough interest out there for us to make. a 

''concert band page" a pennanent niche in this p~blication. 

wen here's a sf4rt. . 

Eight flute-players in sea.rch of a band. 

The new Festival Winq Orchestra is up and running, members 

wrote, with an adequate and still growing Complement of 

musicians. The band rehearses Tuesday nights at 7:30 at 

Newtonbrooke Secondary School and could still lise some new · 

members. Since the initiators of the project were eight fluteplayers 

and a conductor, it sounds as if "flutists/flautists ne·ed . 

not apply". Interested? Phone Shelley at 416-491-1683 . 

April 20 at Etobicoke Collegiate the Etobicoke Community 

Concert Band joins forces with an interesting group, the 

G.T.A Teachers Wind Ensemble, whose players are or have 

all been instrumental music teachers! 

The great thing about this group is that it is a wind 

ensemble, not a band -- only one instrument to a part, which 

translates, in miniature, into the clean, crisp sound. you get 

·only with the· very best bands. · · 

The conductor is Bobby Herriott, well known conductor 

· · and trumpet player. Among his players are John Liddle, 

conductor of the Etobicoke Co~munity Concert Band, Gino 

Falconi, conductor of th~ Royal Regiment Band and music
