From the mid-1950s into the early years of the 1960, Harry Somers, by then fairly established as a composer, and Norma Beecroft, a young music creator just finding her bearings, had a tumultuous relationship.
Fascinating. Thanks. What a lively scene and wonderfully cross-pollinated with the playwrights of the day, Mavor Moore writing the libretto for Somers' Riel and Somers' writing the score for James Reaney's Night Blooming Cereus and other works. We have such a rich cultural history and treat it so shabbily. I love, too, how you note the importance of what used to be the CBC.
