THE PUBLISHER'S PODIUM 

GENEROUS SPIRITS, ALL 

Our thanks to: the Sine Nomine Ensemble for 

Medieval Music, Gloria Saarinen, Mark DuBois, 

George Koller, Ritesh and Joanna Das, the Toronto 

Tabla Ensemble, Duo L'Intemporel, Courtney 

Westcott and Avery MacLean for their 

performances in the wholenote fundraising 

concert on April 14. Their generous spirit 

permeated the entire event, creating an atmosphere 

of celebration and good will. 

And the generosity didn't end with the 

performers. In addition, many audience members 

went home with door prizes whose value fa~ 

exceeded the $25 ticket price. 

Our thanks to the Academy Concert Series, the 

Amadeus Choir, the Amadeus Ensemble, the Arbor 

Oak Trio, Ashley & Crippen Photographers, EMI 

Classics, the Music Gallery, the Music Umbrella 

Series, Naxos Records, and the Sine Nomine 

Ensemble for their generous contributions of CDs 

and concert subscriptions for door prizes. 

*NIMBL IS AS NIIVIBL DOES? 

Those of you accustomed to picking up wholenote 

in the lobby at the St. Lawrence Centre will have to 

look elsewhere (across the road at the 

Hummingbird, for example). 

We've been advised that the chairman of the St 

Lawrence Centre board has decided that we (and 

other free arts publications) are cluttering their 

premises. 

I suppose it makes sense. After all, anyone 

picking up wholenote at the st lawrence is already 

at the StLawrence, right? 

So, just as long as people can read the St 

Lawrence Centre's (free) wholenote listings in other 

people's lobbies .... 

*NIMBL: NOT IN MY BEAUTIFUL LOBBY! 

SEEKYEI 

And speaking of distribution, it had to happen. The 

list of places to pick up wholenote has outgrown its 

place of pride on our back cover. It's now on pages 

28 and 29 inst~ad. 

Once again there's room for the list to 

grow ... so if you know of any new likely distribution 

point for wholenote, call us (or have them call us) 

at (416) 406-6758.

Musicians in our Midst: Portrait #1 

- 

ARTURS JANSONS, violist 

"W?Jy me when there are so many musicians in Toronto better qualified 

than I am?" was his question when we suggested this portrait. 

Judge for yourselves. 

Born in Toronto of Latvian parents, Arturs Jansons started 

playing violin and viola at the age of 9, studying privately in 

Toronto with Pavel Zarins. He was a senior student at 

Bathurst Heights Secondary when Albert Greer became the 

music teacher there and started a chamber orchestra. Jansons 

went on to the Faculty of Music at U. ofT., where he studied 

with David Zafer and then continued his studies with Gerald 

Stanick in Vancouver. 

A stint in the Canadian Opera Company Orchestra 

followed, including a long North American tour, after which 

he returned to Banff, where he had spent his summers as a 

student, to study with the legendary William Primrose. 

While in Banff he played for Lillian Fuchs, who invited 

him to come to the Juilliard School of Music, where he 

studied for two years, returning to Toronto in 1981. Since 

then he has been an active freelance musician and has worked 

with every major ensemble in the region. 

In 1989 he began an ongoing association with Livent of 

Canada, participating in a number of projects and recordings, 

including the recent recording of Ragtime, and tours to 

Alaska, Hawaii, Hong Kong and Singapore. Currently he is 

playing in the orchestra for The Phantom of the Opera. 

In addition to performing, Art is active in the Toronto 

Latvian Concert Association, which presents an annual 

concert series featuring Latvia's best musicians. Founded in 

the 1950s by the well-known Latvian-Canadian Toronto 

composer, Talivaldis Kenins, the Association's excellent 

programming is increasingly coming to the attention of the 

community at large.

DALEY REQUIEM 

· Lydia Adams, conductor 

of the Amadeus Choir, has 

spoken enthusiastically 

about the compositions of 

composer, conductor, 

accompanist and church 

organist, Eleanor Daley. 

Sunday afternoon, May 4, 

will be an excellent 

opportunity to hear Ms. 

Daley's work, when the 

Armour Heights Church 

Choir performs her 

Requiem, commissioned in 

1993 for the Elmer Iseler 

Singers and first 

performed at the Festival 

of the Sound in the 

summer of '93. 

SPRINGTIME FOR 

SCHUBERT 

We have heard much this · 

200th birthday year about 

the short but productive 

life of Franz Schubert and 

the small circle of friends 

who recognized his genius 

and supported him as they 

were able. 

In his lifetime it was' the 

"Schubertiads", intimate 

gatherings at which his 

music was performed for 

listening and for dancing, 

for which he was best 

known. It is this music, 

written for piano duet, that 

Gloria Saarinen and 

Arnold Draper will 

perform in their concert, 

"Springtime in Vienna" on 

Monday, May 5 at the 

Glenn Gould Studio. 

The duo have recently 

recorded all of Franz 

Schubert's piano duets, 

which will fill nine· CDs. 

The first two have just 

been released as a set. 

Another splendid · 

opportunity to hear 

Schubert at the Glenn, 

Gould Studio (this time 

~long with music by 

Benjamin Britten) is the 

Aldeburgh Connection's 

concert on May 8 with 

soprano, Ann 1\fonoyios, 

and tenor, Benjamin 

Butterfield. 

YOUNG TALENT 

Two of the city's most promising young artists will 

be performing this month. Pianist, Naida Cole 

(who is also, we hear, an excellent flautist) will be 

warming up for her Van Cliburn Competition 

appearance with a solo recital at the Royal 

Conservatory on May 9. And on May 10, Ani 

lmastounian, winner of the Wagner Society 

Scholarship, will be performing with the Toronto 

Sinfonietta at Bloor Street United Church~ (She is 

also doing a recital for the Wagner Society at the 

Arts & Letters Club on April 30) 

Other opportunities to hear young'musical 

talent are the Canadian Music Competitions, 

May 3-11 (See EtCetera File, page 9) and the 

Organ Futures noon hour concerts, Thursdays at 

12:30 at Metropolitan United Church.

LITURGICAL MUSIC 

IN CONTEXT- 

A MULTI-MEDIA EVENT 

BY JOHN TUTTLE 

With the passing of Vatican II in the 1960's 

came liturgical reforms in the Roman Catholic 

Church which were interpreted to mean that the 

music of the ordinary for the mass (Kyrie, 

Gloria, Sanctus/ Benedictus and Agnus Dei) 

should be sung by the congregation in the 

vernacular. 

This came as no shock to the majority of 

Catholic musicians, as the majority of parishes 

had allowed their music to "coast" into a low 

estate, and indeed such reform was both 

necessary and welcome. 

But the unfortunate by-product of this reform 

was that the large body 

of mass settings by fine 

composers for liturgical 

use was put aside in 

favour of the 

congregational music 

which was, by its nature, 

easier to perform. 

Although Vatican 

II pertained only to the 

Roman communion, other 

liturgical denominations 

(Anglican and Lutheran) 

were heavily influenced 

by the reforms; for 

example, the Hymnbook 

of the Anglican and 

United Churches in, 

Canada of the early 

1970s has much useful 

congregational music at the back of the book, 

and in the Episcopal Church of the U.S., The 

Hymnal 1982 devotes nearly a quarter of the 

book to liturgical music. Useful as this music 

may be, it rarely provides an aesthetic 

experience for anyone who appreciates great 

• I 

mustc. 

BEAUTY OF HOLINESS 

Some settings of the mass have "gone 

underground" and become part of the concert 

repertoire: many choral institutions sing the 

liturgical works of Mozart and Haydn; a few 

manage to programme the splendid works of the 

Renaissance by Palestrina, Victoria, Josquin, to 

name a few. But, no matter how fine such 

performances m ay be, one often misses the point 

of their performance when they are removed 

from the liturgical act for which they are 

intended. Indeed, they become even more 

splendid when accompanied by vestments, 

candles, bells and incense. 

"Some settings of the mass 

have ''gone underground" 

and become part of the 

concert repertoire ... but, no 

matter how fine such 

performances may be, one 

often misses the point oftheir 

performance when they are 

removed from the liturgical 

act for which, they are 

intended. " 


Happily, there are still a few places in 

Toronto where the effort is made to sing these 

glorious works in their proper liturgical context. 

I am fortunate to serve as Organist and 

Choirmaster of Saint Thomas's Anglican Church 

on Huron Street, a small anglo-catholic parish 

which holds "the beauty of holiness and the 

holiness of beauty" in esteem, and which 

embraces the great choral repertoire written for 

liturgical use, and strives to produce a liturgy of 

both splendour and reverence. 

As an example, I shall never forget my 

first months at Saint Thomas's, preparing the 

choir to sing the Faure Requiem for a Solemn 

Requiem Mass on the Commemoration of All 

Souls (November 2nd). Having probably 

conducted, sung or. played it dozens of times, I 

discovered its diffe"?ent, inner meaning in the 

context of that service, when our congregation 

remembers those who have died in previous 

years. The Sanctus, sung by candlelight after the 

names of the dead were read, was a sublime 

moment of both ecstasy 

and reassurance, which 

would have been 

unattainable, had one 

relied solely on the music 

of Faure. 

During Advent and 

Lent, the choir sings the 

Gregorian settings from 

the Liber Usualis, which 

were originally intended 

for "congregational use," 

although the congregation 

would likely have been 

monks, trained in the art 

of singing them. The 

spirituality of this simple 

music goes far beyond the 

scope of the congregational 

music of our time. 

As well as plainsong and renaissance 

music, we enjoy music of our century, including 

the Massing by Vaughan Williams, the Messe 

en sol by Frances Poulenc, the very beartiful 

Missa Brevis by Zoltan Kodaly, and the stark 

and impressive Messe Solenelle by Jean Langlais. 

RECAPTURING PART OF YOUR SPIRIT 

While it would be imprudent to suggest that one 

attend a church service simply to enjoy the 

music, it is just possible that you could recapture 

a part of your· spiritual life which may 

have fallen away. This could well be the fault of 

the church (universal) which in recent times has 

ignored what is beautiful in favour of what is 

accessible. Of course, I am sure that you would 

be welcome to attend any church for any reason, 

and to hear this glorious music in its proper 

"multi-media" venue, will certainly do your soul 

no harm! 

The churches which justify the time,

energy (and expense) of singing this great music 

have become unique. There are several places 

· you might like to visit in Toronto: I have 

mentioned our little Saint Thomas's Church on 

Huron Street, and there is our sister parish, the 

Church of Saint Mary Magdalene at Ulster and 

· Manning Streets (where Healey Willan 

developed a choral traditi9n embracing this 

gre~t music which is carried on today). The 

Cathedral Church of Saint Michael devotes some 

parts of the ordinary to the great choral settings, 

and the~e is the Oratory of the Holy Family, a 

curious little church on King Street West, which 

' does a superb job of it.

Up and on with Op-Anon 


BY RICHARD PAUL 

Would you rather muse over Menotti .than muddle through Massenet? How do you feel about basking 

in Britten rather than being bored by Bizet? If your tastes lean to this direction, then Opera 

Anonymous has plans for your ears. 

Op-Anon (as it's known in the biz) was formed in 1994 

to focus on alternative stagings of twentieth century 

opera. The co-founders Nina Scott-Stoddart and Diane 

Dacamara were looking for more opportunities to 

perform. According to Scott-Stoddart, "we wanted to do 

full productions of twentieth century opera in English 

and there were just not a lot of opportunities for 

performance. We wanted to focus on the neglected 

works." 

It would seem that starting a company dedicated 

to producing these "neglected works" in these 

times of shrinking grants and audiences is a 

guaranteed recipe for red ink. But the success of 

Op-Anon owes as much to realism as it does to 

{dealism. From its humble beginnings, the 

company has made it a policy not to rely on 

government funding for its survival, as this has 

been the downfall of many of our not-for-profits. 

For their inaugural production, they ,chose 

Toronto's mecca of the post-mo

The Toronto Jewish Folk Choir 

was founded in 1925 by Jewish 

immigrant factory workers who 

wanted to remember the songs of 

the "old country". 

Today our aim is to help 

keep alive our secular Yiddish 

heritage and experience while 

enhancing contemporary J ewish 

culture. 

The Choir's repertoire 

includes folk and working-class 

songs, compositions inspired by 

classic Yiddish literature, 

interna tional folk songs, classical 

music on Jewish themes, and 

commissioned works by Canadian 

composers. 

Our Annual concert in 

May is the highlight qf our busy 

performing season. This year's 

featured work, Fantasy on J ewish 

themes, was commissioned from 

renowned c9mposer, Milton 

Barnes, and was enthusiastically 

rec~ ived ·when the Choir 

premiered it in 1993.

OUR MISTAKE 

In the April WholeNote we listed a Concentus Arts 

recital by Lucy Carrick-Wedel, soprano, to be held at 

St. Lukes United, 7:30pm, April 8. So far so good, but, 

er ... well ... that was April 8 1995, actually---six months 

before Pulse/WholeNote went into publication. For 

those who showed up a little late, we apologize!
