Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
My music compositions have been inspired by the great tradition of European art music.
I am a Canadian composer, pianist, organist, trombonist and ex-teacher. I am a fan of all the arts, and am also a cat fancier and enthusiastic flyer of light aeroplanes. Science and history also strongly appeal to me. My favourite authors are Dr. Johnson, Geo. Gissing, Robert Graves and Vladimir Nabokov. I love the music of Beethoven, Bruckner, Mozart and Giles Farnaby, among many others.
I am a born Torontonian and honour the memory of fellow-denizens, Glenn Gould, Walter Huston, Marshall McLuhan and Norman Jewison.
