 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rathburn was one of the most fascinating composers of the 20th century, writing more music than any other Canadian composer of his generation. He served for 30 years as a staff composer with the NFB, scored the first generation of IMAX films, and created a diverse catalogue of orchestral and chamber works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For The Romance of Improvisation in Canada<\/em>, Matte and Rogers created a series of arrangements based on some of Rathburn\u2019s jazz-inspired film themes. 杏吧原创 Music instructor and saxophonist Petr Cancura<\/a> is featured on the recording, leading a quintet of some of Canada\u2019s finest jazz performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the aid of extensive archival and documentary materials, Wright\u2019s They Shot, He Scored<\/em> chronicles Rathburn\u2019s extraordinary life and works. In addition to providing a close reading of Rathburn\u2019s film and concert scores, the book follows his early years in New Brunswick and Los Angeles, his time at the NFB, his encounters with some of the most celebrated figures in his field, and his collaboration with the Canadian innovators who launched IMAX. They Shot, He Scored<\/em> illuminates the extraordinary career of an unsung creative force in the Canadian film and music industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is sponsored by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences<\/a> and the School for Studies in Art and Culture<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
