Q: How Many Musicians Does It Take To Write A Song?
A: In this case six, but it was by commission. I’ll explain, but first, a radio producer joke of the same ilk. (Though it could also be applied to many other kinds of “producers.”) Q: How many Producers does it take to screw in a lightbulb? A: I don’t know — what do you think? Well, maybe it’s only funny if you’ve ever worked as a producer. Anyway, here’s the scoop with the Song For 2007, performed Saturday night on Canada Live (8 p.m.). At the beginning of 2007, CBC asked 6 musicians to write 27 words (as in 2___7, get it?) that described how they felt about the new year. Those 27 words were passed along to someone else in the group, who then wrote the first draft of a song based on the words. As the year progressed, the drafts passed hands, until finally there were six new songs that involved all of these musicians — Jim Bryson, Zaki Ibrahim, Sandro Perri, Jenny Whiteley, Andre Ethier and Catriona Sturton. Kind of reminds me of that old camp game, where one person starts a story, leaving it at a cliff-hanger, then the next person in the circle picks it up. Very fun. (At least, if you’re of a certain cast of mind.) And tonight the songs are being performed by the composer(s), in a mass collaboration on the “final drafts” of each song. My only quibble is I think they should have used seven musicians, just for some form of arithmetical satisfaction. Then they could continue, so 2008, 8 musicians, etc. Just think of the year 2049!

The Concerto According To Manny, And John Adams
Today, Inside The Music (12:00) continues with episode nine of the Concerto According to Manny . This episode features the music of John Adams, said to map fragments of romantic harmony onto the electric grid of minimalism. Many consider Adams the essence of America today, and that essence is exemplified by his piano concerto Century Rolls. Commissioned by Emanuel Ax, who co-hosts this series with Studio Sparks’ host Eric Friesen, John Adams was inspired to write this concerto after listening to a CD of piano rolls from the 1920s. He heard piano roll music as having a “bright, edgy quality and a rhythmic alertness,” regardless of the actual music — it could be Jelly Roll Morton or Rachmaninov. Adams is of course not the first composer to be inspired by piano rolls, and this piece references composer Conlon Nancarrow s hand-punched piano rolls, among other music.

Sunday Afternoon Look Back
This weekend Sunday Afternoon In Concert takes a look back at some of the performers that they’ve featured since the show first went to air. So some pretty great music — including live performances from Louis Lortie, Andre Laplante and Marc Andr Hamelin. Also the toronto Symphony Orchestra exploring both known and newly ranked planets in music of Holst and by Abigail Richardson (who earlier this season so cleverly set the show’s email address, SAIC@CBC.CA as a twelve tone row!). The show marks the end of Stravinsky’s 125th year with the TSO, and a performance of his Capriccio, performed by pianist Alexander Toradze and conductor Valery Gergiev. And in case that’s not enough Russians for you, there’s a chamber concert with Montreal pianist Paul Stewart, focussing on the great keyboard master Nikolai Medtner. Finally, just a hop skip and a jump across a considerable landmass and a couple bodies of water, there’s also music by some Continental Britons, in performances by the Grammy nominated ensemble Artists of the Royal Conservatory.

Start Spreading The News
On this day, back in 1944, the musical On The Town premiered on Broadway. If you’re thinking, “huh? what songs come from On The Town?” being told that I Can Cook Too is among them probably won’t help. But the Bernstein/Comden/Green collaboration also contained such songs as Some Other Time and New York, New York. (Played at the end of every game in Yankee stadium, just to rub it in for the out of towners. Unless, of course, the Jays win. But I get ahead of myself, spring training isn’t even around the corner yet, sigh.) Anyway, back to On The Town — tonight on Tonic (6 p.m.) Katie has a bit of a salute to the musical. As well, Tommy Flanagan fans take note — this evening you can hear a live trio set from the Village Vanguard — the trio eminent jazz writer Garry Giddins once said was “the standard by which piano trios are measured.”
Transport Canada Proposes Including Small Trucks in Low Speed Vehicle Definition
