Abstract
The primary aim of this article is to introduce and present a preliminary list of Canadian staged dramatic music composed between 1867 and 2007 as a contribution to a previously under-cultivated field of Canadian cultural activity and research. More than simply an exercise in establishing a repertoire, this article approaches these works as important historical documents that articulate contemporaneous cultural, social, and political values over the past 140 years. Through a discussion of issues raised in determining genre and musical citizenship, the scope, nature, and history of these works lays a foundation for systematic research into this most important Canadian cultural artifact.
To facilitate access to what is a substantial body of information, this preliminary list is offered in three formats: 1) alphabetically by composer’s surname; 2) alphabetically by the title of the work; and 3) chronologically by date of completion of the work. Compositions are identified across all formats by a Preliminary Ingraham Number (PIN) comprised of the composer’s surname and the date of completion of the work.
Résumé
Le but de cet article est de présenter — à titre de contribution à un champ d’activités culturelles et de recherche trop souvent négligé — une liste préliminaire d’oeuvres musicales dramatiques composées pour la scène entre 1867 et 2007. Au-delà du simple exercice de recensement d’un répertoire, cet article considère ces oeuvres comme d’importants documents historiques articulant les valeurs contemporaines culturelles, sociales et politiques depuis les 140 dernières années. Suite à l’évaluation des enjeux apparus en déterminant le genre et la citoyenneté musicale des oeuvres, leur ampleur, la nature et l’histoire de celles-ci constituent une solide base permettant la recherche systématique au sein de cet important artefact culturel canadien.
Afin de faciliter l’accès à ce corpus substantiel, la liste préliminaire est proposée en trois formats : 1) en ordre alphabétique de noms de compositeurs; 2) en ordre alphabétique des titres de compositions; 3) en ordre chronologique d’achèvement de l’oeuvre. Dans les trois listes, les compositions comportent un identifiant (« PIN » pour Preliminary Ingraham Number) composé du nom du compositeur et de la date d’achèvement de l’oeuvre.
