Bolt From the Blue : Guest violinist Lara St. John overcame an errant tuning peg in her performance with Symphony Silicon Valley. Spirited Display Solo violinist Lara St. John emphasized technique in guest turn with Symphony Silicon Valley By Scott MacClelland SO FAR this inaugural season, lightning has struck Symphony Silicon Valley twice, in virtually the same place. Last month, solo cellist William De Rosa was shocked to see his C string unravel just before his first-movement solo cadenza in Haydn's Concerto in C. Last Saturday, solo violinist Lara St. John was equally surprised when one of her tuning pegs came loose just before her first-movement cadenza in Prokofiev's Concerto in D. But it's as much about the recovery as the crisis itself, and fortunately, both artists came through like the pros they are. For St. John, that meant stopping briefly to retune, a couple of times, to set a peg that was probably set loose by the low humidity that came in with the clear weather. However, her performance of the melancholy piece was less about the music and more about playing the violin and indulging a temperamental impulse. Instead of empathizing with the prickly composer through this unusually unguarded work, St. John seemed more intent on spirited display. Her ethereal opening sounded stealthy, ready to pounce. And pounce she did, displaying a vivacious technique that seemed at its best where the composer wrote more for effect than feeling. That, therefore, defined the success of the performance, where St. John showed off an unusually wide range of tone colors, not least throaty growls opposite steely harmonics.

COMPOSER A-Z Philip Wilby
Philip Wilby
b.
Born in Pontefract in 1949, Philip Wilby was educated at Leeds Grammar School and Keble College, Oxford. Wilby attributes the awakening of his interest in composition to Herbert Howells, whose extra-curricular composition classes he attended while a violinist in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. A serious commitment to composition developed during the years at Oxford and, having gained his B Mus in composition in 1971, Wilby continued to write music even while working as a professional violinist (first at Covent Garden and later with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra). He returned to Yorkshire in 1972 and is Principal Lecturer in Composition at the University of Leeds.
In recent years, Wilby has established a very significant reputation in the field of brass band and wind band music. His first commission for brass band - The New Jerusalem (1990) for the National Youth Brass Band - was an instant success and led to further commissions: Paganini Variations (a BBC commission in 1991 for the Grimethorpe Band); Flight for solo flugelhorn and band (Grimethorpe, 1991); Revelation (1995, for the British Open Championships). Much of Wilby's recent wind band music has been commissioned by the Fresno campus of the University of California, where he has had a regular residency since 1985.
Wilby has also given much time to writing for liturgical purposes and works include St Paul's Service (1988) commissioned by St Paul's Cathedral for John Scott and the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, and The Trinity Service (1992) commissioned by Norwich Cathedral for the 1992 Norwich Festival of Contemporary Church Music.

AmazonUK AmazonUS Amazon recommendations The Quartet for the End of Time Messiaen confessed that 'only music made me survive the cruelty and horrors of the camp'. It was there that the premiere took place in January 1941, with the composer at the piano: 'Never has an audience listened to my music with such rapt attention.' The eight movements vary considerably in approach. Two are solos (one for clarinet, the other for piano), while two others are duos (cello and piano, violin and piano). The musical language is sometimes exploratory too, such as when the first movement adopts a polyrhythmic style. All these things make the music a special challenge to the performers, who need to pay particular attention to demands of this complex score. For example the fifth movement, a meditation entitled 'Hymns of Praise on the Eternity of Jesus' must be played 'infinitely slowly' (as the metronome mark confirms), and the style must be 'ecstatic, majestic, meditative and very expressive'. It is clearly no easy task to at once achieve all these demands, and to be frank, these performer's don't quite bring it off. The reason is simply tempo, which is too flowing, not slow enough. Yet the music does still have the ecstatic and expressive qualities Messiaen seeks, and this is not least because it is so well played. But other performances, notably that by Anner Bylsma and Vera Beths (Philips 446 578-2PM) are slower and more rapt.

A program is chosen because the works need to be played and because they complement each other. The musicians are also mutually complementary and come together to bring the music to life. Roman Borys - Cellist Cellist Roman Borys is one of Canada's most active chamber musicians. A founding member of the Gryphon Trio, one of North America's finest piano trios, Roman Borys also performs regularly with the Toronto String Quartet as well as with numerous festival ensembles. The Gryphon Trio tours regularly throughout Canada, the United States and Europe and has recently recorded its third CD for the Analekta label. The Gryphon Trio is currently an ensemble-in-residence both at the Music TORONTO chamber music series as well as at the University of Toronto. As a result of the Gryphon Trio's interest in the creation and commissioning of new works, Roman now dedicates some of his time to producing Gryphon Trio collaborative works as well as larger music projects. Current projects include a new work for piano trio and narrator by composer Omar Daniel and 2001 Giller nominee, writer Michael Redhill, as well as the multimedia work Constantinople, which is set to tour internationally in the 2002-2003 season. Last spring Roman produced events in major centres across Canada for the Department of Canadian Heritage. Hosted by Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, theTomorrow Starts Today events highlighted Canada's cultural diversity as well as its young artistic talent.

T HE ORGAN STUDENTS OF ST JOHN'S COLLEGE, 1946 TO DATE If one’s aim in life is to become a cathedral organist, there is no better training than by way of an organ scholarship (or organ studentship, as it is still perversely described in one of the major Cambridge Colleges). It is by being involved daily with choir rehearsals, by coming to grips with a wide repertoire of choral pieces (the St John’s repertoire currently consists of over 1,500 items, and new works continue to be added regularly), and by observing and listening to other choirmasters that one, almost unconsciously, learns the job. It is impossible to ‘teach’ choir training and the sine qua non is the particular type of personality that one happens to be born with or not. It is all-important to be able to imagine and aim for the perfect performance, perfect in technique and with an interpretation which moves the listener by its illumination of the inner meaning of the text. The ability to play the organ to the highest standard is, of course, a prime requisite, but it is a paradox that brilliant young organists are thick on the ground, whereas choir trainers of equal quality are much harder to come by, largely, I suppose, because of a lack of opportunity in their schools to develop those particular skills. Over the years there have been many assistant organists at St John’s, but it was not until 1946 that the College Council decided formally to establish the position of Organ Student. At the Council meeting on 29 November 1946, 'the draft regulations for an Organ Studentship prepared by the Committee appointed on 18 October 1946 were amended and approved', and at the Council meeting on 24 January 1947 it was 'agreed to elect J C Brown Organ Student with tenure during the Lent and Easter terms 1947. He will cease to hold a Choral Studentship.'

He returned to Yorkshire in 1972 and is Principal Lecturer in Composition at the University of Leeds. Among his wide-ranging output is a considerable body of wind music, and since 1985 this interest in writing for wind forces has led to a regular residency at the Fresno campus of the University of California, who have commissioned much of Wilby's more recent wind band music. Wilby has also given much time to writing for liturgical purposes and recent works include St Paul's Service (1988) commissioned by St Paul's Cathedral for John Scott and the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, and The Trinity Service (1992) commissioned by Norwich Cathedral for the 1992 Norwich Festival of Contemporary Church Music. Other recent projects include a commission (The Cry of Iona) for BBC2's series of music videos for Advent, broadcast in November 1992; Wilby's second symphony Voyaging, commissioned and premiered by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in April 1993; Partita, commissioned by Fine Arts Brass Ensemble and premiered in August 1993 at the Harrogate International Festival; An Imagined Fable commissioned by the Athelas Ensemble and premiered in October 1993 at the Danish Radio Concert House; and a Percussion Concerto commissioned by the English Northern Philharmonia and Yorkshire Youth and Music, premiered in November 1993 in Leeds, performed by Chris Bradley and the English Northern Philharmonia conducted by John Price-Jones. In January 1995 Philip Wilby was a featured composer in the PLG Young Artists New Year Series, London.

This third recording was released in April 2002, and, at the same time, an announcement was made that St. John has signed a contract with Sony Music. It turns out that her gamble has paid off - she has made it to the majors through a careful combination of image and musical virtuosity. For she is an excellent violinist, there is no doubt about it. This disc, which contains Bach's three violin concertos, and the first sonata for solo violin, shows that the plays these majestic pieces effortlessly. While her accompaniment remains in the background - making this a soloist's discs rather than an ensemble disc - it serves her well.

In memoriam: Professor emeritus Lorand Fenyves
Fenyves an inspiration to those his life touched April 5, 2004 Professor Emeritus Lorand Fenyves of the Faculty of Music died March 23 while travelling in Switzerland. He was 86 years old. Born in Budapest in 1918, Fenyves first visited Canada in 1962 as a coach for Les Jeunesses Musicales at Mount Orford. In 1965 he joined U of T's Faculty of Music as a visiting lecturer and subsequently became professor of violin. He retired in 1983 but remained active and maintained a full teaching schedule up until his death. In 1988 he established a scholarship to provide financial assistance to a gifted string student in the faculty's performance program. "Lorand single-handedly created a generation of string professionals in Canada," said Professor David Beach, dean of the Faculty of Music. "Every orchestra or chamber group in Canada has benefited from his vision and musicality." Fenyves received his early musical education in Budapest where he graduated with honours from the Franz Liszt Academy of Music. Well before his graduation he had already embarked on a concert career that included, at the age of 13, an appearance as soloist under conductor Felix von Weingartner. On the eve of the Second World War he left behind an established reputation in Europe to become concertmaster of the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra at the invitation of its founder, Bronislaw Huberman, the great Polish violinist and humanist. In 1957 he returned to Europe to take over the same position with the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande in Geneva. During this period he also performed extensively with orchestras and in recitals throughout Europe.

St. John putting new face on old music
By ANN MARIE McQUEEN Ottawa Sun Lara St. John's latest CD, Re: Bach, is gathering a mix of rave and not-so-rave reviews.
But it's the bad ones she finds oddly satisfying. "I thought that would happen and it's fascinating to watch," she says during a phone interview this week. "Classic reviewers are not into it. Other people are like, 'I've never liked classical before but I like this.' " ON A MISSION St. John, in concert with L'orchestre de la Francophonie canadienne at the National Arts Centre tonight, is on a bit of a mission to bring classical music to the masses.

The Strad magazine selected her as one of "the stars of the next decade" and called her "an electrifying player, as deeply satisfying in Bach as she is bewitchingly seductive in Waxman's 'Carmen' Fantasy. The L.A. Times has said: "St. John brings to the stage personal charisma, an unflagging musical imagination and genuine passion. Her two albums to date are bona-fide classics of the violin discography." In January 2002, Lara released her third CD on her own label. Bach: The Concerto Album and has received enthusiastic reviews. Gramophone Magazine placed the disc in its strongly recommended section, and wrote "It is difficult to argue with such a technically dazzling and unfailingly musical interpretation."
