Colloquium Musicum: “New Songs for Soprano and Jazz Trio.”&�Բ�����;Dr. Christina R. Haldane discusses the creative process behind an exploratory project that fuses Western art music and jazz aesthetics. The project, funded by an internal SSHRC Explore grant, features new arrangements by Ross MacIntyre of “Tu la mia stella” from Giulio Cesare by G. F. Handel, “An die Musik” by F. Schubert, and a new commission by Cecilia Livingston, all set for soprano and jazz trio. Brunton, 4:00 p.m.

Faculty and Guest Recital: “Rhythms of Renewal,” performed by Joël Cormier (percussion) and Carl Philippe Gionet (piano). An evening of piano and percussion duets featuring Stravinsky's Rite of Spring reimagined for piano and marimba. Also featuring works by Emmanuel Séjourné and John Luther Adams. Brunton Auditorium, 7:30 p.m.

Colloquium Musicum: “Introducing the SUMR Time Lab.”&�Բ�����;Alan Dodson presents a paper authored by himself and students Anna Gagné, Anna Gordon, and Kiran Steele. How can we represent the rhythm in a recording that lacks a clear and regular meter? We worked on this problem collaboratively in the summer of 2023 through a series of case studies on solo recordings from around the world: a “farewell song” from Korea, an adhan (Islamic call to prayer) from Tanzania, two African American field hollers from the Deep South, and a “love song for flute” from the Meskwaki Nation in Tama, Iowa. In this presentation, we demonstrate a new approach to visual representation that combines staff notation, analytical animations, and audio. This colloquium is an expanded version of a presentation we gave at the Eighth International Conference on Analytical Approaches to World Music in June 2024. Brunton, 4:00 p.m.
