Asked what that means, Jaeger laughs and quotes a comment attributed to French composer Darius Milhaud, who taught Somers and a number of other Canadian composers: "Oh, I can always tell a Canadian piece," Milhaud said. "It always sounds so lonely." The Canadian-ness in Somers's music comes from "a lot of tone painting that refers to landscape," Jaeger says. "His 1948 orchestral piece North Country was a defining moment for him as well as Canada -- it sounds so spacious and large, and at the same time so warm and soulful. "I think that a lot of composers who have come after him have picked up on that ... I'm not aware of any who connected with Canadian landscape that way before." .< 1:11:01 AM >Trudeau studied ballet, friend says. National Post Online Jun 16 2001 1:36PM ET [Arts and culture news] |
