Queen’s University celebrated this book with anofficial launch for over 100 guests in January 2002at the W.D. Jordan Special Collections and MusicLibrary. The book launch was held in conjunctionwith an exhibition of Anhalt’s life and work, whichincluded photographs, scores, recordings and othermemorabilia. Principal Leggett also hosted a lunch-eon for Prof. Anhalt at Summerhill House, in cele-bration of this truly remarkable man.

In the Spring 2002 issue of the Canadian Leagueof Composers Bulletin Alfred Fisher, former Direc-tor of Queen’s School of Music wrote the followingas part of his book review: “Istvan Anhalt, Path-ways and Memory is by far the most ambitiousstudy of a Canadian composer that I know and ofthose, it is the most successful. Smith and Elliotthave fashioned a work that like Anhalt himself,asks important questions and fashions rich but elusive answers. Like the man and his music, itengages at multiple levels, testing and challenging,but always rewarding.”

After years of planning, the first Concurrent Bachelor ofMusic/Bachelor of Education degree program in Ontariowill be implemented at Queen’s in September 2003. Asthis program is aimed towards the very best students, admission will be highly competitive and initially theprogram will have a rather limited enrollment. Appli-cants will still audition at the School of Music as well assubmit an experience statement to the Faculty of Educa-tion. Those students not accepted into the B.Mus./BEdprogram will be considered automatically for admissionto the B.Mus. degree program.

The B.Mus./BEd program will build strong linksbetween the Faculty of Education and the School ofMusic in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Both Dr. RobertaLamb and Dr. Karen Frederickson are cross-appointed tothe Faculty of Education. Importantly, the B.Mus./BEd

PARTNERSHIPS The School of Music and the Kingston SymphonyAssociation are engaged in several partnershipsthat are geared to young people.

Symphony Education Partnership (SEP)In its tenth year, this February 1,300 grade 4 students attendedconcerts given by the Kingston Symphony. These concertswere held at Bayridge H.S. and MacArthur Auditorium, Faculty of Education. Thirty-five university music students inthe Partnership Placement course participated in the SEP byproviding supervised lessons to grade 4 classrooms before theconcerts, leading the grade 4 students in a dance during theconcert, and teaching 2 more follow-up lessons after the concert. Karen Frederickson choreographed the dance toLeroy Anderson’s “Sleigh Ride” that the grade 4 students performed. Dr. Frederickson also provided a professionaldevelopment workshop to grade 4 teachers in both the Limestone and Lakeshore & Algonquin School Boards toassist them with implementing the curriculum. Each year theSEP Committee organizes the partnership by deciding on atheme, orchestral repertoire to be performed, writing thegrade 4 curriculum package, and taking care of the adminis-trative details to coordinate the partnership. The SEP is uniquebecause it is based on a principle of mutual benefit for thesymphony, the schools and the university. Another uniqueaspect is the elementary music teaching done by the univer-sity music students and the authentic musical participation in the concert by the grade 4 students

Meet the Music MakersThis innovative program pairs KSA musicians with seniorQueen’s music students to present a hands-on introduction tothe instruments of the orchestra to grade 6 students. During oneweek in April symphony musicians and Queen’s music studentspresent a 90-minute session in approximately 8 elementaryschools. Each family of the orchestra is represented. The grade 6

students rotate through the sections, hear a presentation by themusicians, get to try making a sound on the instruments, andreceive a hand-out to take home with them. The School of Musicand RMC loan instruments to “Meet the Music Makers” for thestudents to try. The Education Committee of the KSA administersthis program, which is in its second year and is funded by aCanada Council Grant dedicated to outreach, developing youngmusicians and presenting Canadian music.

Orchestra Day CampMembers of Queen’s University Student Music EducatorsAssociation (QUSMEA) provide an “Orchestra Day Camp” for the Sunday matinee concerts of the Kingston Symphony.Guided by Karen Frederickson, QUSMEA volunteers prepare entertaining and educational sessions for young children to attend while their parents go to the symphony concert. The KSA administers “Orchestra Day Camp”.

program will provide a distinctive component to studyingmusic at Queen’s, enhancing the flexibility of the programs we offer, and addresses the perception thatgraduates have a better chance of procuring employmentif they are enrolled in this type of program. A concurrenteducation program provides fine pre-professional trainingand is pedagocically sound. Students take the sameB.Mus. courses as other B.Mus. students, but are admittedalso to the the Faculty of Education and begin their BEdcourses in their first year at university. The fourth year ofuniversity focusses on completing the B.Mus., while thefifth year of the program is devoted to completing the BEd.

Our Music Education faculty, Dr. Roberta Lamb andDr. Karen Frederickson, along with Dr. Duane Bates (nowretired), worked tirelessly over the years to bring this pro-gram into existence. Their efforts are greatly appreciated!

NEW PROGRAM AT QUEEN’SConcurrent Bachelor of Music/Bachelor of Education

Queen’s Music 5

PHIL ADDIS (B.Mus. 2000)(Change of Instrument = Success) Thanks to the flexible B.Mus. program at Queen’s University a student who was admitted on one instrument was able tochange to another instrument. Phil Addis was quite satisfiedstudying tuba; but one day during a vocal Unspecified Chamber Ensemble rehearsal, a faculty member noticed thathe had a voice. Phil was able to change from tuba to voice, and this ultimately changed the direction of his life.

In postgraduate studies, Phil is presently in his final year at the Opera School at the University of Toronto, and has recentlybeen accepted into the Opera Atelier of the Montreal Opera.This year he was a semi-finalist in a major French voice com-petition in Paris, and this summer he will be studying withRobert Tear at the Aldeburgh Festival in England. Phil has alsobeen accepted for the summer program in Aspen, Colorado.

Award Winner Dr. Karen PegleyEach year Queen’s Univer-sity invites applicationsfrom outstanding scholarsfor faculty appointments,under the Queen’s NationalScholars Program. Only fourawards were offered byQueen’s this year. TheSchool of Music is proud toannounce that newlyappointed Queen’s NationalScholar Dr. Karen Pegley,will join the faculty thissummer.

Ireneus Zuk, Director,Queen’s School of Musicwrites “Dr. Pegley matches

perfectly the criteria described in the advertisement for QNSpositions. First and foremost, she is a brilliant scholar at theoutset of what is bound to be a distinguished career. Althoughshe completed her doctoral degree recently (1999), she hasalready established an impressive publication record. Dr. Peg-ley has published many articles and book chapters, with sev-eral more submitted or in press. She has also presented atnumerous national and international conferences. Her expert-ise has been recognized with appointments to editorial boardsof significant journals such as, e.g. GEMS (Gender, Education,Music, Society), Women and Music: A Journal of Gender andCulture, and the Canadian University Music Review. She isheld in such high regard that she was, in fact, appointed to theeditorial board of Women and Music before her Ph.D. wasawarded… She has been able to establish an international rep-utation as a scholar without sacrificing performing ability onher instrument, demonstrated by her work with several pro-fessional ensembles.”

STUDENTS HELP FUND NEW CHAIRS FOR ROOM 120At a departmental meeting in April, members of thedepartmental student council (DSC) presented a chequein the amount of $1,250 to the School of Music. Thisdonation has been earmarked towards the purchase ofnew ergonomic chairs for Room 120 in Harrison-LeCaineHall. As you will remember, the existing chairs in thislarge ensemble room are rather uncomfortable, especiallyduring long rehearsals. The purchase of the same type ofchair for the smaller ensemble groups who practice inRoom 213, has resulted in a most welcome improvement.

We would like to thank the DSC and our Bachelor ofMusic students for this very generous gift.

QUEEN’S NATIONAL SCHOLAR PROGRAMKaren. Pegley also has a strong commitment to passing

on mentoring skills to students and creating a positive and proactive learning environment. It is interesting to note thatthe mentor most admired by Karen Pegley is Dr. Beverley Diamond, formerly at York University and currently atMemorial University. B.Mus. alumni will remember “BevCavanagh” from Queen’s School of Music when she taughthere in the ‘70’s and ‘80’s. We are obviously all winners whengood mentoring is involved, and would like to wish Karen thevery best at Queen’s University – School of Music.

The Early Music Instrument RoomThe Early Music Instrument Room,organized by Dr. Olga E. Malyshko,Curator of The Early Music InstrumentCollection, celebrated its Grand Openingon 7 November 2001. The event was wellattended by guests from the Kingstonand Queen’s University communities.The Room currently displays a substan-tial and impressive collection of earlymusic instruments, on which studentsare given opportunities to perform. Thisstunning collection ranges fromrecorders, cornetti, crumhorns, andshawms to sackbuts, viols and harpsi-chords, including a harpsichord built byWolfgang Kater after an antique Flemishinstrument by Blanchet in the RussellCollection, as well as a lute, hand craftedby the luthier, Oskar Graf, after an origi-nal 7-course Giovanni Hieber model of1561. The Queen’s Early Music Collectionand its new-found home constitute twoof the many features which distinguishthe School of Music at Queen’s Univer-sity from other music departments,schools and faculties across Canada.

Music History and Literature (HistoricalMusicology and Ethnomusicology)The large scale organization of the music history and literaturecurriculum proceeds from introductory surveys to intensivestudies of the individual historical periods from the Age ofAntiquity to the present. Specialized and more concentratedtopics are dealt with at the more advanced level in courses,such as research methods and bibliography, specific genre andcomposer studies, palaeography, performance practice, andwomen in music. One special feature at Queen’s is its empha-sis on the study of world musics, including non-western artmusic, jazz, folk and popular music traditions. Anothernationally distinctive component of the Queen’s music curricu-lum is The Collegium Musicum – an historical performancepractice course and ensemble devoted to the study and per-formance of purely vocal and instrumentally accompaniedsacred and secular music of the mediaeval and Renaissanceperiods (circa 900- circa 1600). The music history and literaturecurriculum at Queen’s has been developed to generally accom-modate and comprehensively prepare students with variedprojected goals in the musical field, and, at the same time, isspecifically tailored to the needs and interests of individualsintending to pursue graduate and post-graduate studies in his-torical musicology or ethnomusicology. Our students are com-petitively trained for the pursuit of advanced degrees in thesedisciplines at Canadian and American universities as well aseducational institutions abroad.

STUDENT OPERAThe Turn of the ScrewThis year Queen’s students presented a spectacularopera The Turn of the Screw. Based on the classic horror story by Henry James, the opera was pre-sented in the mansion-like interior of Grant Hall at Queen’s University.

As you can imagine, the venue enhanced the masterful horror story of two ghosts that possess the spirits of two young children. The productioncompany appreciated funding from the George Taylor Richardson Memorial Fund, Queen’s Schoolof Music, The Kingston Opera Guild and the Facultyof Arts and Science – Student Initiatives Fund.

CLARA MARVIN Book LaunchA recent reception at Queen’s University Club celebrated the publication of Clara Marvin’s book,Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrine: A Guide toResearch, by the distinguished publisher Routledge.Clara Marvin stated “It is especially gratifying to methat publication comes at this time, so shortly aftermy history colleague Gordon Smith’s fine book onIstvan Anhalt.” Sincere congratulations to Dr. Marvinon this achievement.

The year-end ensemble concerts and performancerecitals brought to a close a busy and impressive season.

JANE COOP (Pianist) Queen’s Artist in ResidenceOne of Canada’s most prominent and distinguished artists,Jane Coop was Artist in Residence in January 2002. Jane Coophas become a household name in Canada due to her frequentbroadcasts on CBC radio, and her sophisticated musicianshipand passionate sense of communication have earned herwarm responses from both critics and audiences alike.

In addition to international recitals in cities like New York,London, St. Petersburg, Kyiv, Warsaw, Prague, Beijing andTokyo, Jane Coop has appeared with every major orchestra inCanada. A sought-after chamber music partner, she has collab-orated with many established groups and leading instrumen-talist. As a recording artist, Ms. Coop’s discography on bothSkylark Records and CBC Records has earned her muchpraise, for example “one of the finest Chopin discs of thedecade.”

The local Kingston audience was ecstatic at the reasonableticket price for the concert. Jane Coop’s visit to Queen’s wasmade possible through the Scholar (Artist) in Residence Pro-gram of the Faculty of Arts and Science and the George TaylorRichardson Memorial Fund.
