It's been said that the 

safest place to put 

information that you 

want to keep secret is in 

the editorial colunui of 

a community newspaper! 

And this column 

is, I suppose, the closest 

thing to an editorial 

that you'll find in · 

WholeNote. 

So what's the secret? 

Well, only that, March 

1 or slightly sooner, all 

going well, we take the 

next step into serving 

our members and our 

readers even better with 

the launch of our 

website at 

www.thewholenote.com. 

It's not a secret, of 

course. But somehow 

quiet launches have 

become our style. Like 

the magazine itself we 

are confident that from 

quiet beginnings the · 

website will grow from 

strength to strength. 

And speaking of our 

members, we reach 

another milestone this 

month with the addition 

of our lOOth member- 

something we take to be 

not so much a testament 

to our own good parts 

as an indication of the 

very good health of 

music in this city of 

,ours.

A word of caution. More than a dozen 

concerts scheduled for the CBCs Glenn 

Gould Studio appear in our concert listings 

this month (see Glenn Gould in our index, 

-p.38. But it is our understanding that the 

Gletm Gould Studio is closed until the CBC 

technicians' strike is over. Until that happy 

day, concerts scheduled for the Gletm Gould 

may be cancelled, postponed or moved to 

another venue. Phone before you go! 

EARLY TO RISE 

As much by accident as by design, this 

month's "Musician in our Midst" (Ben 

Grossman, p. 1 5) and "Cover Story" Jeanne 

Lamon, are both musicians deeply involved 

in and conunitted to the perfonnance of 

"early" music. But as it tums out , they're 

only the twin peaks of an early music iceberg 

this month. 

It all begins (CBC labour negotiations 

pennitting) March 4 witi1 the King's Consort 

perfonning English, Italian and Gennan 

baroque music, part of the OnStage Series at 

the Glem1 Gould Studio. 

March 5 is then one of those good/ 

bad days that forces a choice between two 

very interesting early music events. One of 

ti1ese is Toronto's Duo L'Intemporel, 

perfonning music for flute and harpsichord 

by 17til and l&til Century French composers. 

The oti1er is ti1e Montreal group, La Nef 

which, under ti1e direction of lute/tileorbo/ 

oud player, Sylvain Bergeron, will present 

Montsegur, Ia tragedie cathare, a musical 

presentation ofti1e destruction in March, 

1244 of the Cathar heretical religious sect. 

Witi1 ti1e Cathars died also tile art of 

tile Troubadours, so when Bergeron began 

tile realization of his dream of a musical 

depiction of the Cathar story, he had scant 

resources to work with. Dominique Olivier 

put it this way in her review in Montreal's 

Voir: "Thanks to his knowledge as a musician 

working in the area of early music, primarily 

as a lute and theorbo ' player, ti1e mterpreter . 

was suddenly tumed into a composer. Putting 

together the musical world of tile Cathars 

from very fragmentary source material, he 

has shown that the past can be not only a 

source of inspiration, but also someti1ing very 

contemporary." 

·n1e resulting production, according to 

Olivier, had tile audience at McGill's 

Redpath Hall on the edge ofti1eir seats from 

start to finish at its first production in June 

1995. 

ALSO EARLY 

Oti1er early ~usic highlights are tirree 

different perfonnances of J.S. Bach's St. John 

Passion, (March 9 & 28 and April 2), one

CHAMBER MUSIC 

When one thinks of chamber 

music one tends to think first of 

string quartets. Composing for 

·string quartet really got under 

way in the classical period with 

Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, 

but ~j:ontinues to be a favourite 

combination of composers 

ihroughout the nineteenth and 

into the twentieth Century. On 

March 2 the Toronto String 

Quartet will be joined by pianist, 

Angela Cheng, in their Music 

Toronto Concert. Three European 

quartets will be perfonning here 

tlus montl1 - the Amati Quartet on 

March 18 at 1:30 (Women's 

Musical Club), the Martinu 

Quartet on March 18 .at 8:00 

(Music Toronto) and the St. 

I 

' .,_) 

Petersburg Quartet on March 28 

(Ford Centre). 

And if a musical excursion 

to tl1e beautiful cow1tryside 

around Guelph appeals to you, 

tl1e Penderecki String Quartet is 

performing Haydn's Seven Last 

Words of Christ witl1 TACTUS 

Vocal Ensemble in Guelph on· 

March 27. 

Two excellent piano trios 

will also be taking to tl1e stage in 

• 

March. On March 7 violinist, 

Erica Rawn, cellist, Kristine 

Bogyo and pianist, Francine Kay 

present an afternoon concert at 

tl1e Koffier Centre and on March 

23 the Gryphon Trio will be at 

tl1e Jane Mallett TI1eatre as part 

of Music Toronto's series. Erica 

Rawn can also be heard in recital 

with pianist, Lydia Wong on 

March I b as part of t11e Mozart 

Society series: And if tl1e idea of 

coffe witl1 your chamber music 

appeals to you, check out ~e 

Cafe Espresso Sunday Afternoon 

Music Series at the Academy of 

Spheri'ial Arts on March 7. 

EAR TO THE FUTURE 

TI10se interested in hearing good 

music today (while perhaps 

glimpsing future greatness) 

should check out the Kiwanis 

Festival Showcase of Stars 

concert march 2 at the Ford 

Centre. And you might also want

start of tl1e greatest single 

sustained outpouring of music of 

· the year. March and April are

schools in town. At tl1e University 

of Toronto FacultyofMusic,

SPRING AND SoNG

minus fifteen, but we have 

several' concerts on hand to . 

prove that spring is in the air. On 

March 6 Music at Metropolitan

MARcH'S NEW MUSIC RUNS THE GAMUT (LIKE TilE WEATI-IER) 

BY DAVID G. H. PARSONS . 

The new music scene could be 

said to encompass both the lions 

and lambs of March, plus a range 

of wildlife in between. There is 

a little something for everyone 

this month. Once again, Hear & 

Now offers several advance 

listening suggestions for concerts 

listed in the column. (Canadian 

titles can be acquired at the 

Canadian Music Centre, where 

you can also explore repertoire in 

the Library's listening rooms.) 

The Toronto Children's 

Chorus is celebrating its 20tlt 

rumiversary tlus year, marking 

tlte occasion by a series of 

exchanges witlt choirs from 

· around the world. On March 5 

and 7 tlte TCC Chrunber Choir 

combines forces witlt tlte Srut 

Francisco Girls Chorus and tlte 

Amabile Youtlt Singers for a 

programme titled "California 

Drerunin" at tlte Gleim Gould 

Studio. Canadian composers 

Eleanor Daley, Harry Freedman, 

Jolm Govedas, Stephen Hatfield, 

Ramona Luengen, David 

Macintyre, and Healey Willan are 

featured by the TCC and Amabile 

choirs; while the American group 

presents works by many contemporary 

composers, including a 

number of their compatriots: 

Conte, Holmes, Karai, Macha, 

Mellnas, Rautavaara, and 

Schickele. All three ensembles 

join forces for pieces by Gustav 

Holst, Michael Hurd, Randall 

Thompson and Howard Cable. 

"The Srut Francisco choir is also 

celebrating their 20th," says 

Heather Wood, TCC general 

manager, "and they are one of the 

best treble choirs in the world. 

This just seemed a wonderful 

opportunity to get together." The 

TCC is well represented on disc, 

and their recent title "My Heart 

Soars" (Marquis Classics) is a 

superb collection of their best 

Cru1adian repertoire. In addition, 

composers Hatfield (Missa: Our 

Lady of t11e Snows) and Daley 

(Requiem) can be heard on 

"Awake, My Heart: A Gallery of 

Canadian Choral Music" by tl1e 

Bell' Arte Singers ofToronto. 

One of tl1e great operas of the 

20th century gets a welcome 

hearing on March 5, 6, 12 ru1d 13 

when the Opera Division at tl1e 

. Faculty of Music, University of 

Toronto presents Poulenc's 

staggering Dialogues des 

Cannelites. This moving tale of 

the order of nuns sent to the 

guillotine during the Reign of 

Terror is conducted by Stephen 

Ralls and directed by Michael 

Patrick Albano. Concert goers 

encountering tl1e tragic and 

bloodthirsty work for the first 

time cru1 check out two available 

CDs - but the older EMI recording 

starring Rita Goer (who 

appeared as the old prioress in 

the COC's 1997 production), not 

to mention the radiant Regine 

Crespin, is especially fine. 

It's "All New" - the Esprit 

Orchestra on March 9 presents

three Canadian world premieres 

by Canadians Paul Dol den, Chris 

Paul Hannan and Alex Pauk, as 

well as a brand new work by 

Gennan composer Klaus Hinrich 

Staluner. Erica Goodman is the 

soloist for composer/conductor 

Alex Pauk's Concerto for Harp 

and Orchestra. · 

Surprisingly, the harp part 

was created first and can stand 

alone as an wtaccompanied work. 

"This is not a typical concerto in 

the 19th century sense of a 

dramatic conflict between 

individual and group," says the 

composer. "htstead, the harp part 

is 'embraced' by the orchestra, ' 

and the ensemble enhances and . 

supports the soloist's material.". 

Unconventional approaches 

to composing are extended in 

Chris Paul Hannan's Axle, which 

is actually built from the musical 

material found in Pauk's work. 

Hannan has derived his ideas 

from the sketches for the 

concerto, in a process he 

describes as akin to 

"musicogenetic cell splicing and 

engineering". "I don't know yet 

what Chris has done," says Pauk, 

"the only restriction provided 

was that he not use a harp in the 

orchestration. ht the end, our 

works may remain forever fused - 

rather like siamese twins in a 

David Cronenberg film!" Paul 

Dolden's Resonant Twilight for 

orchestra and computer electronics 

extends some of the techniques 

from his previous work for 

Esprit, TI1e Heart Tears Itself 

Apart with the Power oflts Own 

Muscles, although it promises a 

Itlore atmospheric and impressionistic 

quality. Lastly, Klaus 

Hinrich Staluner's May they 

come, may they disembark, may 

they stay and rest awhile in 

peace, takes·its inspiration from 

Henry Miller's book "Colossus of 

Marouss". Esprit is well represented 

on CD (four titles on CBC 

Records), with Hannan's 

Iridesence found on their 

recording of the same name. 

TI1e rising young composer h~s 

just been nominated for a 1999 

JUNO Award for his Sonata for 

Viola and Piano, recorded by 

Rivka Golani on Centrediscs. 

Paul Dolden's explorations of 

electronics with acoustic instruments 

can be heard on several 

discs, with two titles devoted 

entirely to his music -·"The 

Threshold of Deafening Silence" 

(Ironia Disc) and "L'ivresse de 

Ia vitesse" (IMED). 

Down Here On Earth - a 

dark, disturbing experimental 

music theatre piece set in a 

nightmarish, abandoned urban 

landscape - is being remounted at 

Harbourfront's du Maurier 

.Theatre for two shows only 

(March 19, I :30 and 8:00 PM), 

prior to moving on for a run in 

Montreal.. Created by Victoria 

Ward (librettist) and Rainer 

Wiens (composer), and directed 

by Thom Sokoloski, Down Here 

On Earth delves into the interior 

worlds pf two homeless characters, 

Red and Mercy, who are 

trapped by their memories of.a 

mysterious lost child. An 

exceptionally challenging vocal 

work, it requires perfonners with

Susanna Hood reprise their roles 

in this revised production, three 

singers who were more than 

capable of negotiating the hair-

Ben Grossman . ~ 

It is a Sunday afternoon 

in late February at the 

Church ofSt. George 

the Martyr just south of 

the Art Gallery of 

Ontario. The occasion 

is a concert, one of the 

Baroque Music Beside 

the Grange series, but 

the sounds that come 

from the six musicians 

sitting on the platform 

in a semi-circle are 

decidedly un-baroque! 

Unfamiliarly modal 

melodies blend with the 

exotic twang of a qanun, 

a plucked multi-stringed 

Arab cross between a 

harp and a guitar, and the supportive rhythms of a small drum. The 

music, from the Spanish Llibre Vemie/1, predates the birth of Johann 

Sebastian Bach by about two hundred years. After the next piece the 

percussionist puts down his drum and picks up and plays an oud, an 

Arab instrument.that looks rather like a large lut.e. On the floor next 

to him is another stringed instrument, a Turkish saz and half a dozen 

.drums of various shapes and sizes. 

TI1e percussionist/oud/saz player 

is twenty-seven year old Ben 

Grossman, whose versatility goes 

beyond playing different middleeastem 

instruments. h1 mid 

February he joined Cajun/Celtic 

fiddler, Oliver Schroer's band, 

Stewed Tomatoes, to accompany 

singer-songwriter, James 

Keelaghan. On March 13 he will 

be at the Music Gallery to play 

music by composer-inventor, 

Barry Prophet, with the com~ 

poser, and on March 14 will be 

perfonning medieval, renaissance 

and contemporary folk music at 

the Royal Ontario Musemn. 

How did Ben become a 

multi-faceted musician? To start 

with, he grew up in a musical 

home, with a guitarist mother 

and an uncle who was a blues 

guitarist. At seven he began 

experimentii1g, by himself, with 

the guitar, and, as a teenager, 

studied double bass with Boris 

Kurstig, who, after the official 

lesson was over, would always 

have a score of music by 

Stravinsky or Bartok for his 

precocious student to play. 

He also became interested 

in the music of minimalist 

composers Steve Reich and 

Philip Glass, surviving the high 

school waste land by escaping to 

the Metro Reference Library 

where he absorbed Glass's operal 

practice. "While 1love looking to 

the past and to other cultures for 

ideas and infonnation, ultimately 

what one does must be satisfying." 

hl the final analysis, it is 

the late 20th century sensibility 

that prevails, not the 13th or 14th 

century sensibility. · 

And, speaking of such things, 

Ben recently composed a work 

for a high school percussion 

ensemble, which has sparked his 

interest in doing more writing. 

With the resources literally at his 

finger tips, medieval, contemporary, 

Arab, Turkish and Balkan 

musical traditions, what he 

comes up with is sure to be 

interesting.

HORAL 

SCENE 

BY lARRY BECKWITH 

There is much excitement at the 

103-year old Toronto Mendelssohn 

Choir, these days. At a 

somewhat comical press conference 

at Roy Thomson Hall last 

month, it was announced that 

Noel Edison has been named the 

choir's new permanent conductor. 

In front of a gathering of 

notable figures, including Toronto 

Mayor Mel Lastman, Ontario 

Minister of Citizenship, Culture 

and Recreation Isabel Bassett, 

Hal Jackman, Nicholas . 

Goldschmidt, Jean Ashworth 

Bartle and others, Edison 

eloquently outlined his plans for 

the futureof the organization. · 

These include ambitious tours 

and exchanges, an apprenticeship 

programme for conductors, and 

the continuatior1 of a solid 

relationship with the TSO .. 

There are two opportunties to 

catch Edison in concert, this 

month. On March 7, he conducts 

the Elora Festival Singers and 

Orchestra, with a stellar roster of 

soloists, in a performance of 

Bach's St. Matthew Passion in 

Guelph, and on April2, he leads 

the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir 

in a Good Friday performance of 

Braluns' German Requiem with 

soloists including the powerful 

young baritone James Westman. 

Meanwhile, the Toronto 

Mendelssohn Youth Choir 

continues to move from strength 

to strength with a concert on 

March 6 entitled Hymns for All 

Time. Guest conductor John 

Rutter renews his aquaintance 

with the choir on this occasion 

and will stay on in Toronto for a 

few days to record a CD with the 

group. This is hot on the heels of 

their successful collaboration on 

· a Christmas disc for CBC 

Records. 

In Edison and TMYC 

permanent conductor Robert 

Cooper, the Mendelssohn Choir 

organization has a dynamic team 

of leaders. They are not only two 

of the best choral conductors in 

the country; they are also driven, 

powerful and well-connected men 

witl1 ambitious plans, big dreams 

and the tenacity to realize them. 

SoME OTHER CHORAL 

EVENTS THIS MONTH: 

The Etobicoke Centermial Choir 

gives the world premiere of an 

iulportant new work, Requiem, 

by Brock, University composer 

Peter Landey on March 6. 

Tite Amercian period 

instrument ensemble and choir 

Apollo's Fire gives a performance 

of Bach's St. John Passion on 

March 9 at the CBC as part of the 

OnStage series. Later in the 

month, more Bach Passion 

performances take place, St. John 

Passions by the Mississauga 

Choral Society March 28 and the 

Metropolitan Festival Choir on 

April 2, and a St. Matthew 

Passion performance by the 

Grace Church on-the-Hill choir 

with the Aradia Baroque 

-Ensemble on March 28. 

The Passions of Bach are, 

technically, specifically religious 

works dealing with the trial and 

· crucifixion of Christ. To followers 

of other faiths, agnostics, · 

pantlteists, or atheists these 

works still offer a rich and 

profound exploration into tlte 

deepest and most fundamental 

aspects of the powerful and tlte 

powerless, of the individual and 

the cormnwtity, of life and death. 

And the music is so gorgeous! 

Two other concerts of note: 

The Jubilate Singers move 

downtown under tlte direction of 

Brad Ratzlaff and offer a feast of 

English choral music with the 

able assistance of organist Ian 

Sadler on March 13.

MUSIC BOOSTS MEMORY 

NEW EVIDENCE CONFIRMS 

Children who have music lessons before age 12 have a 

better memory for words when they become adults, research 

in Hong Kong shows. It's the latest evidence that studying 

music has benefits that go far beyond staves and semiquavers. 

A higher IQ, a better grasp of mathematics, science 

and languages, better reasoning power and even a bigger 

brain have all been reported by scientists. 

The latest research carried out at the Chinese University of 

Hong Kong by Agnes Chan and colleagues, compared 30 

female students who had had music lessons with 30 who 

hadn't. The only significant difference between the two 

groups was that one had been taught music using western 

instruments and the other had not. Short-term memory for 

words and pictures was tested by asking them to remember 

a l-ist of 16 words read to them and 10 simple shapes 

shown to them. The team reports in Nature that the womel) · 

with music training remembered significantly more words. 

After three repetitions of the list, they typically remembered 

· 14 of the 16 words compared with 12 of 16 for those 

without musical training. There was no difference in visual 

memory. The result is plausible because brain-imaging 

techniques have shown that the left temporal lobe is larger 

in musicians than in non-musicians. That area of the brain 

is also responsible for verbal memory, while visual memory 

is controlled by the right temporal lobe. Chan and colleagues 

themselves to be sure it is the same for ~II, and should test 

groups with equal IQs and socioeconomic backgrounds. 

On Sunday, Gottfried Schlaug of Beth Deaconess Medical 

Centre in Boston, told the American Society for 

Neuroscience in Los Angeles that brain-scans of 90 people 

showed the cerebellum was five per cent larger in musicians. 

the cerebellum is a part of the brain involved in movement 

and balance and is used by musicians to interpret rhythm, 

two neuroscientists from the University of Texas told the 

meeting. They had scanned the brains of eight conductors 

as they listened to a Bach chorale and found that blood 

flow to the cerebellum increased when the rhythm of the 

piece being played to them was altered so that it differed 

from the score, though none of the musicians moved a 

muscle while the music was played. Earlier research has 

shown that toddlers taught simple tunes like Twinkle, 

Twinkle Little Star perform on average 34 per cent better 

on IQ tests. 

The CBA Band-Aid 99 weekend with Elliot Del Borgo 

and Warren Barker was a resounding success. The Sunday 

rehearsal was particularly enjoyed by all including the 

conductors. A 75 piece band enjoyed a morning work-out 

with the visiting conductor/composers. Mr. Del Borgo was 

having so much fun he joined the band on bass drum for 

the last part of the rehearsal.

JJehind the Scenes 

• with Marilyn Anthony, proofreader

Free-lance music proofreader 

Marilyn Anthony 

shows me the list of 

corrections -- so far -- to 

Leonard Bernstein score she 

is working on. 

Let's see- wrong bar 

number, wrong note, key

key signature... Marilyn's 

project right now is proof

Leonard Bernstein's 

compositions.

orchestra libraries if they are 

doing a new work. 

Marilyn chuckles: The first 

music' I ever proofread was Me: What do you proofread to? 

when I was music librarian 

for the Israel Philharmonic. Marilyn: It depends on what I've 

Leonard Bernstein was got. The stuff I'm getting now 

guest-conducting, and we from Charlie Hannon, who is 

were doing a suite from his editing Leonard Bernstein's 

show Fancy Free. ,Lem1y's works for Amberson (that's the 

business manager handed Leonard Bernstein publishing 

me the score and said, ' We compaiiy) --Candide, On The

full of mistakes. Could you back to earlier printed scores. 

proofread it?' It was pretty Although you have to take them 

bad - bar numbers wrong, with a grain ofsalt, too... The 

no cues, transpositions - composer's original score is best, 

wrong. It was done in a rush if you can get it AND if you can 

for the Broadway deadlines, read it! I once got a score from 

and the mistakes got left in Lalo Schifrin. It was in pencil, 

- and we had to rush, too. horrible, HORRIBLE handwrit- 

Word went out, 'Nobody can ing - and you look at the note 

see Lenny except Marilyn.' and you say doot-doo dah-doo- 

So I'd go in to see him. doot, yeah, that's OK, lummn, 

'This part says this thing and that makes sense as a chord, 

the score says that thing, well how does it sound? and you 

which is right?' Lem1y'd take it to the piano and try it. 

say, "I can't remember", so 

I'd ask him, 'Well, which 

would you like today?' So 

after 20 years in Israel I 

'come back and what's the 

first thing I'm proofreading? 

A new printing of Fancy 

Free! · 

Me: What do you proofread 

and who are your clients? 

Marilyn: Complete scores, 

usually - timt's ti1e 

orchestral score, the one ti1e 

conductor would use, which 

includes all the instnunents, 

plus the individual parts. I 

usually work for music 

Me: How do you go about a 

proof-reading assignment? 

Marilyn: The first thing I check 

is the parts schedule - do I have 

all the parts listed in the score? 

·Next is the score. I check all the 

bar numbers, notes, clefs, key 

changes, accents, dynamics. 

When that's OK, I do the parts. 

On the one hand, proof-reading 

parts is cut and dried; they have 

to match the score. But the 

notes being right is only the start. 

I look at page turns -- are they 

possible? Violins can handle 

difficult turns, because two of 

them usually share one music 

stand, so half your violins will be 

playing through a page tum. 

Violas.and double basses ' 

don'tusually share, so page turns 

have to come when they can take 

the time -- or you lose their line. 

Sometimes the page is too 

crowded to keep your place on. 

You can't put 13 staves with 

ledger lines on a page, it can't 

work! 

Me: For, say, Candide, would 

you ever go to the Broadway cast Marilyn opens her hands in 

recordings? 

appeal: 

Marilyn grins: Nope, that's 

Charlie's problem! Ifl have a 

question, I'll call up the composer 

or the editor and ask him,. 

'What did you mean? Did you 

mean to write the viola pari in 

the bass clef? Did you mean to 

cut this instrument off in the 

middle of the phrase?' Unless 

it's a really OBVIOUS mistake, I 

don't correct, I don't... (she 

reflects) well, yeah, I have. BUT, 

I'd base it on a repeat. 

And CUES! You have to think 

about where people are sitting. 

Say the cue for the tuba is from 

the second flute. But the second 

trombone is playing in his ear. 

How's he gmma hear the flute? 

SO, cue him from the trombone! 

Marilyn continues : NO 

musician is gomta count 63 bars 

rest. So you tell them trumpets 

at 31 for two bars- you don't 

even need the notes for this, just 

give 'em something to cmmect to 

- and at s'g you give 

them the 5 bars of viola 

that they echo and mesh 

into. If a conductor gives 

a wrong cue, the 

orchestra has to be able 

to fmd its feet fast. Cues 

are more than just the 

few notes before your 

part starts. Cues are 

your landmarks, your 

reassurance. 

I nod, thinking of· 

Marilyn s excellent if 

unorthodox directions to 

her house. "Tum left at 

the modem synagogue, three 

stop signs, right one block, we're 

on the northwest corner, park in 

the driveway BEIDND the house, 

not the one at the side." 

Me: Sounds like you like your 

work ... 

Marilyn: I LOVE my work! I 

hear and see a LOT of music. 

Something I'm doing no.v is that 

I'm Itzak Perlman's personal 

librarian. He wants a database of 

his repertoire sorted by style, 

ensemble, and so forth. He sent 

me boxes of his music - some of 

it's really old stuff, loose pages, • 

no covers, you don't know what 

you've got. I sort through it 

matching the printing, the key, 

sometimes the pages have edition 

numbers which makes it.easier. 

Whenl've got a stack that is all 

one thing I start humming 

through it - first movement, no; 

second movement, no; third · 

movement, aha! Mozart V in A! 

Me: Any occupational hazards? 

. . r. t• -t 

Marilyn replies prompt/)': Jwo.,. 

One, you have this MUSIC 

numing through your head. Right 

now I have a headful of Fancy 

Free- boy, an1 I looking forward 

to Candide! The other is your 

eyes. I can't work more than an 

hour and a half without a thirtyminute 

break. The most I can. do 

is 4 hours, 3 hours is a full day. 

And I go through a lot of these. 

Marilyn takes the top box off a 

stack on her desk to show me. 

The label reads ' 1 0PTREX1 Eye

.NOTES 

BY JIM GALLOWAY 

Another month rolls arow1d ru1d 

the jazz scene in Toronto remains 

ru1 active one, helped considerably 

by the fact that a great deal 

of jaZz can be heard on radio in 

this city on a daily basis. For 

exrunple, CJRT-FM's ongoing 

year-row1d support for jazz is 

runply demonstrated by the fact 

that there are now 60 hours of 

jazz per week on the station and 

Ted O'Reilly, in particular; gives 

a great deal of air time in support 

of Cahadiru1 perfonners. h1 this 

respect the station plays a vital 

role in the jazz conununity ru1d 

deserves your support. · 

The final concert in the 

current CJRT-FM Sound of 

Toronto Jazz series, hosted by 

Ted O'Reilly, will be at the 

Ontario Science Centre Auditorium, 

770 Don Mills Road on 

March 8th. at 8:00 p.m. and 

continues with its policy of 

featuring a broad spectnun of 

styles. The cmicerts are consistently 

good ru1d well worth 

attending; on this occasion the 

music is on the more contemporary 

side with a perfonnru1ce by 

the quartet ·of saxophonist Marie 

Jo Rudolf. There is free parking 

ru1d admission is $6.00. 

George Shearing is one of 

those names that everybody 

recognizes. His distinctive 

playing style ru1d wann personality, 

in addition; of course, to his 

great musicianship have made 

him one of the most popular and 

highly respected artists in jazz. 

It's always a treat when he comes 

to town ru1d the good Iiews is that 

he will be perfonning at the Ford 

Centre for the Perfonning Arts in 

the George Weston Recital Hall, 

5040 Yonge Street, 870-8000 on. 

March 26th. With him on bass 

will be his long-time associate, 

virtuoso bassist, Neil Swainson. 

Mark it in your calendar. Tickets 

are from $38.00 to $50.00. 

Another interesting event this 

month is a concert on March 5th. 

in London, Ontario, by a 

contemporary big band which 

over the past five years has 

become a force to be reckoned 

with on the Toronto scene NOJO 

- the Neufeld-Occhipinti jazz 

Orchestra). h1 addition, there will 

be two special guests, New York 

based trmnbonist, Ray Anderson, 

ru1d from London, Ontario, 

vocalist Denise Pelley. Anderson 

is acknowledged as one of the 

most exciting ru1d creative 

trombonists in the world and 

previous appearances in Toronto, 

including standing ovations at du 

Maurier Downtown Jazz, have 

already established a large 

following for him in this neck of 

the woods. Denise Pelley has 

command of a rich, powerful 

voice and the ability to hold ru1 . 

audience with her considerable 

musical talent and warm personality. 

The concert is at the 

Althouse Theatre on Western 

Road. Tickets are $18.00 in 

advru1ce from the London Ticket 

Centre, 519-673-S715 ru1d $20.00

interest include the following:-On 

March 7th. at 7.30p.m. the West

Queen's Park, 978-3744. The 

music will feature student 

arrangements of standards and 

originals. 

Although this column largely 

devotes itself to infonnation · 

about concert perfonnances, I 

think it would be remiss of me 

not to mention the fact that a true 

jazz legend in the fonn of Jay 

McShrum will be in Toronto from 

March 2nd. to 6th. at The 

Montreal Bistro, 65 Sherbourne 

Street, 363-0179. His piano 

playing andhighly individual 

vocal style make him the last 

remaining authentic perfonner 

still active in the original Kansas 

City style. His career spans 70 

years ru1d ~nyone with an interest 

in the origins of jazz ru1d blues 

should hear this artist:

live music. It's the best way to 

hear it. ·

Jeanne Lamon 

continued from page 4 

there is one forte and one piano 

given in a movement - which 

doesn't mean they played 

everything at one volwne level. It 

just means we have a Jot more 

work to do than when you're 

playing something by a late 

romantic or a 20th century 

composer, where all the information 

is on the page. Absolutely 

everything is given that can 

possibly be written down. So all 

you are doing ti1en is reading the 

music, in a sense, to the audience. 

Yes it is very important and 

it can be well read or badly read, 

but you don't have a Jot of 

leeway. Whereas if you have 

different performances of 

baroque music, a Brandenburg or 

someti1ing, alti1ough the notes 

will always be the same, the 

tempos, dynamics and character 

ofti1e piece will vary enormously. 

l11at's a Jot of fun. 

Frustrating, but a great deal of 

fun. 

WholeNote: Do you feel, having 

done this for quite some time 

now, that you've got inside the 

head of at least certain composers? 

· 

Lamon: Yes, that does happen. 

l11ere are some composers who 

come up over and over again and 

you've studied so many ofti1eir 

works that you really feel that 

you're quite at home. When you 

have a piece of music by Bach in 

front of you or a piece by Vivaldi 

you think differently. You try to 

tl1ink as the composer might have 

or one of ti1eir violinists might 

have .t110ught. But it is only 

"might have" and that's 

the unlucky side. It is a broken 

tradition and there are so many 

questions that remain tmanswered 

and can never be answered 

with any certainty. 

WholeNote: How was it broken? 

Lamon: It died out with the 

French Revolution and with the 

American Revolution, with a Jot 

of revolutions .. They were big 

watersheds culturally. We always 

think of them as purely political 

moments but they certainly 

changed tl1e face of culture. I 

must say there is nothing worse 

ti1at could have happened to 

French culture· timn the French 

Revolution. It seems strange, but 

somehow in very repressive 

societies you sometimes get the 

greatest cultural'achievements. 

WholeNote: So how do you 

account for the popularity of 

baroque music today? 

Lamon: Why do people nowadays 

prefer Baroque music to 

Braluns or Schummm, whose 

music is also great music? To a 

certain extent that seems to be 

the case, m1d in tliat case it is not 

a question of quality at all. I 

think that we live in a world with 

a certain kind of aesthetic m1d I 

don't ti1ink people have time to 

go through all tl1e layers ti1at it 

takes to get to tl1e point in late 

Romantic music. Baroque music 

is very direct in its emotional 

message. It's also short and very 

to tl1e point. l11e movements are 

short. You cm1 get it in bite size 

pieces. People don't have time to 

sit down m1d listen to a move- 

Makers of fine historical keyboard instruments (416) 538-3062 www.interlog.coml- hpschdl 

Lamon: I think they must. I 

mean, we all hear one arrother's 

recordings and we all jet-set 

armmd the world in a very llll- 

baroque way, playing in other 

people's home towns, so, of 

course there is some cross- 

fertilization. Since we're so 

isolated in Toronto for us it's 

very welcome. I think it's very 

difficult for some of the groups in 

Europe who are constantly in 

is that there is a Jot of cacophony, everybody else's back yard and 

a Jot of disorder in our Jives and everybody's in their front yard 

contemporary music reflects tilat and it's just too much. 

very well, but I don't tilink 

There is a certain degree 

everybody really wants tllat to which· what we all strive to do

are listening to music to relax. p~ople two hlllldred years from 

l11ey wm1t something more now trying to recreate jazz from

a world where spiritual things are been said, and I think there is

very much. But I tilink that music creatmg the new mus1c of the late

Jeanne Lamon, 

continues next age 

ment ti1at goes on for forty 

minutes. A piece that says it all 

in a three minute movement, 

followed by a two minute 

movement followed by m10ti1er 

three minute movement is sort of 

what people can hm1dle. People's 

attention spans are very short. 

And I ti1ink that baroque music 

(ironically, because it's not for 

ti1at reason that it is that way) 

just clicks in. It's good on tile 

radio-- they don't want people 

to change stations. We have an 

awful lot of pieces in which each 

movement is Jess than tluee 

minutes, mm1y one and a half or 

two minutes, and the radio 

stations just Jove it. 

Another reason, maybe, 

that the rest of the world is 

rmming on.

small number of period orchestras 

in the world today. Do they 

influence each other?

the 20th century, so people call it 

contemporary music with a 

contemporary aesthetic. 

Some groups are really 

into the contemporary part of it, 

there's a btmch of groups that fit 

into that category. Titen there's a 

btmch of groups that are really 

very authentic, and very into

with those groups is that it can

WholeNote: How does music of 

the classical period figure in 

your rppertoire? 

Lamon: It's our instruments that 

make the difference. We just this 

weekend perfonried a program of 

Beethoven and Mozart. We did 

Beethoven's First Symphony, mtd 

people kept saying, "I had no 

idea that was such an exciting ; 

piece!" Well, it's not because we 

play it fast, or something like 

that. It's also not because we sit 

on the edge of our chairs. I think 

it's because when a modem 

orchestra plays Beethoven on 

their modem instruments, they're 

using just a small amount of their 

instruments' capacities. Titey're 

not playing very loud, because - 

it's very hard to describe- it feels 

like something delicate and 

precious, that they have to be 

careful not to over play. You 

mustn't play this as if it was 

Wagner, you mustn't use· too 

much vibrato, you mustn't play 

too legato .. . When.it was 

written, however, he was very 

fmstrated with the instmments. 

Titey weren't loud or harsh 

enough so he wrote very strong

dynamic markings. (By then they 

were starting to catch on that you 

had to write it in!) Tite result is 

when you play it on our instruments, 

you are pushing the limits 

of the instrument absolutely. 

You're pushing them so much 

that the music can never sound 

precious and small and held 

back. Titat's the last thing 

Beethoven should sound like. 

WholeNote:. Has your work on 

the classical repertoire changed . 

your interpretation of baroque 

music? 

Lamon: No, but if you are used 

to doing baroque niusic and then 

you start doing classical music 

you see classical as imtovative 

and new and different and n'lote 

modem and exciting. Come to 

Mozart from Strauss tone poems 

and it will seem old and, again, a 

little bit precious. But when 

you're playing on the original 

instruments this is modem 

music! We're mal-ing it into 

contemporary music. I mean, 

that's how I look at it. 

WholeNote: How do you prepare 

for a season?
