Letter from the BC Director Michael Conway Baker is one of the most renowned and prolific composers in Canada, having written more than 164 compositions including symphonies, concertos, ballets, choral works, chamber music, fanfares, music for piano, and for voice, in addition to composing more than 200 scores for film and television.

Michael’s family life growing up was nomadic. He recalls

moving frequently. But their lives were full of music, glamour, and movie stars. His father, Phil Baker, was a celebrated Vaudeville comedian who became a radio star and songwriter, with a list of more than a dozen hits to his name.

His mother Peggy Cartwright, born in Vancouver, was a celebrated star of silent film. In

addition to being leading lady of the Our Gang comedy series, she appeared in a number of D.W. Griffith’s epic films including The Birth of A Nation and Intolerance.

He remembers glamorous parties at his family’s home full of movie stars that fawned over him as a child. So Michael’s love of film, and the magic that happens when music and film is combined, must have formed at a very early age. And it’s no surprise, then, that his music is full of emotional expression and drama. He grew up in a world that was larger than life, and

Michael has been expressing himself in vivid technicolor ever since.

In recognition of his extraordinary ability and achievements, and in line with his widely varying interests, Michael Conway Baker was awarded a JUNO for Best Classical Composition for his magnificent Concerto for Piano; and he has been nominated for eleven film awards and received six, including three Genies and an ACTRA for Best Score for a TV Series — David Suzuki’s A Planet for the Taking.

He has also received several major “Body of Work” awards and was recently invested with the Order of B.C. and the Queens Golden Jubilee Medal. In November of 2006 he also became the first classical music composer inducted into the B.C. Entertainment Hall of Fame.

Michael first gained prominence in 1986 when he wrote 3 pieces for the World’s Fair held in Vancouver: Fanfare for Expo ’86, Discovery for the British Columbia pavilion, and Island in

Space for the pavilion of the United Nations.

He is the composer of the successful ballet Washington Square, which was choreographed by James Kudelka and recorded by the London Symphony Orchestra. And he was the first composer to write an original ice ballet, Cinderella: Frozen in Time, which Dorothy Hamill’s Ice Capades performed throughout North America and in China.

While it is true he studied with both Jean Coulthard and Elliot Weisgarber, it must be acknowledged that Michael is completely self-

realized. He writes in a unique, predominantly tonal idiom all his own, redolent with abundant melody, rich harmonies, inventively treated traditional forms, and innovative orchestration.

Stefan and I had the pleasure of venturing up to

see his entire archive earlier this year, which is now gradually being catalogued in our library. It has been a remarkable voyage of discovery.

I hope you enjoy re-discovering Michael Conway Baker and his extraordinary legacy as much as we have enjoyed exploring his rich, vibrant world of

passionate love, drama, and poignant beauty.

Michael Conway Baker: My Life In Music

My Musical Influences From the time I was very young, three or four years old, I was

influenced by a wide variety of musical works. At the age of five I

“discovered” by way of recordings, broadcasts, and live

performances, the music of Bach, Mozart, Rachmaninoff, etc.

The list goes on and, to this day, never ends. I find myself

listening, with fascination, music I never believed I would

enjoy. I return to old favourites and always discover

something new. All these influences show up in my

compositions. There is the inevitable influence of classical

music, but there is also a good helping of jazz and pop along

with ethnic elements, particularly from South America. Film music

fascinates me because of the wide variety of musical styles used.

My Philosophy in Composing With regard to my approach to composing music, my chief concern is to write music that convinces

me! To attempt to compose without this goal simply doesn’t work for me. My hope is that those who

hear my music will share with me the wide variety of emotions I felt when I composed the music.

Heather Heather Peters was Penny’s last, and most loved, caregiver. Heather came in the middle of the night last February after Penny died in my arms. I did not know what to do. Despite being called at such an hour, Heather came to help me. She took over, called 911 and stayed with me until the police arrived with a doctor who confirmed that Penny had died. Despite grieving the death of both her parents, Heather stayed and helped me through this terrible period. She took me through the bureaucratic nightmare that one is required to deal with in such situations. Penny had been terribly sick with a number of severe illnesses which became increasingly worse during the 30 years of our marriage. Because Heather had been through similar nightmares with her own parents, she knew what to do. Penny had known, for a long time, that she was dying so she “bequeathed” Heather to me.

Three Plus One, Op.44 This music was commissioned in 1979 by Toronto’s Galliard Quartet who toured with it in their programs throughout Europe and North America. The work is in three movements. A performance of this quartet in Mannheim, Germany, resulted in my being commissioned by the City of Mannheim for an orchestral work, Baroque Diversions, which was premiered in 1982 in Mannheim at a festival of Canadian music.

Where is the One? Cinderella’s Song from Cinderella: Frozen in Time The musical theme of this song became the basis for Dorothy Hamill’s Cinderella: Frozen in Time, a ninety-minute ice ballet. This was the largest and, by far, the most artistically rewarding project I have ever been involved in. Added to this were the royalties garnered from almost 50,000 sales of the CDs and videos. Unless you are a Leonard Bernstein, most classical compositions offer little in the way of financial reward; and Bernstein earned more money with West Side Story than all his “serious” music combined. This was my West Side Story. Cinderella: Frozen in Time was not opera nor musical theatre, but a classical ballet, a most unlikely vehicle for commercial success! But it was, indeed, a success! Cinderella: Frozen in Time toured with two companies for three years throughout North America, and ended up in China. The orchestral score was recorded by the cream of British orchestral musicians in the famous Abbey Road Studios in London. When it was felt the production should include a song, I asked my wife, Penny, to write a lyric which characterized Cinderella’s wish to find her true love. The song, Where is the One?, is included in this program. I have dedicated all the music written for Cinderella: Frozen in Time to Penny’s memory.

Where is the One?

Where is the one I’ve waited for all of my life?

There must be one To bring out the best of my life

Somehow it seems Dreamers of dreams

Trust that their dreams will come true Where is the love

I have waited for all of my life?

Lonely is one Who only has dreams for a friend

Life isn’t fun When days are work without end

Please let there be Someone for me

Someone to brighten my days Where is the love

I have waited for all of my life?

Where is the one Who can see how I feel?

Will there be one

To make fantasies real? Life is for sharing Loving and caring

Who’ll see the me who is struggling free Is there no-one out there? Someone — somewhere?

Where is the one I’ve waited for all of my life

There must be one To bring out the best of my life

Somehow it seems Dreamers of dreams

Trust that their dreams will come true Where is the love

I have waited for all of my life? Where is the love

I have needed and pleaded And waited for All of my life…

— Penny Anne Baker

Sonata for Piano, Op.31 This Sonata is dedicated to pianist Gary Arbour who was the piano accompanist for both the National Ballet of Canada and the Toronto Dance Theater. Gary unremittingly promoted me to both dance and ballet companies and I wanted to repay him with an original piano piece. Knowing that Gary was something of a virtuoso who loved the romantic repertoire of Brahms and Beethoven, I fashioned a piano sonata which I felt was true to the piano’s romantic tradition. I wrote the sonata in England in 1974 and, after spending two months writing and refining it, mailed the manuscript to Toronto where Gary lived. He told me later that he sat reading through the music with tears streaming down his face. He said he was totally overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed that he would have such a reaction. The sonata was subsequently published by Frederick Harris and was placed on the Diploma List of the Royal Conservatory of Music (Toronto). The music is quite dramatic, even flamboyant at times. All the musical material derives from the three-note motive introduced at the beginning. There are a few sections of repose which introduce a very simple lyrical theme. These sections are there to give the performer a bit of a break before charging head long by way of a fugue, to a virtuosic ending. The whole sonata is in one movement.

Sharon This music was written for Sharon West who has been my dear friend for many years. During Penny’s long downward decline, Sharon always did her best to keep my spirits up. She knew that my work kept me relatively stable and did everything possible to promote my compositions. It was always a delight for me to hear her piano students, many quite young, play my music. After Penny died, Sharon did everything possible to help me move forward in a positive way. This gentle piano piece characterizes her gentle spirit and is my way of thanking her for being such a wonderful person and a true friend.

Red on White, Op.55 This flute quartet, (flute and string trio), was “discovered” by Stefan Hintersteininger, cellist and Head Librarian of the Canadian Music Centre in BC, amongst the scores being archived by the Canadian Music Centre. Stefan looked at the score and expressed the opinion that it looked “interesting”. “Has it ever been performed?”, Stefan asked. (Librarians get excited about “forgotten music”). When I confessed that I had no idea, Stefan got excited and asked me if it could be included on the program of my CMC Composer Celebration. After some consideration, I told him that would be fine with me. So this will be a premiere, as far as I know. I have little remembrance of writing it and can’t say much except that, as the title suggests, there are references to Canada via our National Anthem. It is in one movement.

Forms for Five, Op.123 This music was commissioned in 2002 by the CBC for the Ottawa Chamber Music Festival. The festival organizer thought it would be interesting to present concert music written by film composers. Somehow I qualified. It’s interesting that the public perception of film composers seems to be that their music is “accessible” and, to some extent, this is true. The film composer must communicate to his or her audience in a way that the “serious” composer may not feel obliged to do. I think this is certainly true of Forms for Five. The music may well conjure up scenes and dramatic situations in the listener’s mind. I certainly have no problem if this is the case. Gee, maybe the listener will actually enjoy the music! What a concept! The work is in three movements: Reverie, March, and Dance. I think the titles are enough to convey the character of each movement.
