films about Canada’s musical heritage
Članovi ansambla Les AMIS i dirigent kanadskog SINFONIETTA maestro Tak-Ng Lai, sa ponosom proslavljaju 150 godina nezavisnosti Kanade, predstavljajući dela kanadskih kompozitora međunarodnoj publici. U ponedeljak, 18. septembra u 20 časova, u sali Ustanove Gvarnerius, biće prikazani kratki dokumentarni filmovi pod zajedničkim nazivom „Šetnja sa kanadskim kompozitorima“ u trajanju do 50 minuta.
Filmovi su preuzeti iz arhive Nacionalnog filma Kanade i pružaju uvid u kanadsko muzičko nasleđe:
1) Man of Music (1959, 17 min.) Filmmaker Roger Blais
Follow Dr. Healey Willan, a composer, conductor, choirmaster, organist and teacher, from his seat at his favourite organ in the church where he is choirmaster to his study where he works, the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto.
2) No Intermission (2010, 5 min.) Filmmaker Theodore Ushev
Philadelphia Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin has gained a reputation for his dedication, musicality and charisma. Combining documentary and animation, this short film captures his energy and passion, both in performance and in conversation.
3) A Composer’s Dream (2011, 7 min.) Filmmaker Barbara Willis-Sweete
During woodland rambles with his beloved dogs, Howard Shore gives free rein to his ceaseless creativity. Whether composing delicate counterpoint or Oscar®-winning movie music, Shore is keenly tuned to a remarkable range of musical expression.
4) Listen (2009, 6 min.) Filmmaker David New
“When you listen carefully to the soundscape it becomes quite miraculous,” says R. Murray Shafer. In this portrait of the renowned composer we witness a documentary, which becomes a lesson unto itself, gracing viewers (and listeners) with a singular moment of interactive subjectivity.
5) cNote (2004, 6 min.) Filmmaker Chris Hinton and composer Michael Oesterle
This animated documentary leaps back and forth between picture and sound. The dynamic visual art dances in syncopation with the bold musical strokes of an original modern classical composition.
6) Anthem (2016, 2 min.)
A short montage marks the 150th Anniversary of the Confederation of Canada that transmits its past, present and future through its people, places and ideas.
7) O Canada (1997, 2 min.)
This is a stunning rendition of the Canadian national anthem performed by a 57-piece orchestra and wonderful visuals.
Duration: 50 minutes
