Canadian composer.
National debut at age 25; “Missa Brevis” was the centerpiece of a nationwide broadcast on CBC-FM’s “Celebration” program in 1981.
Have written a number of works for children’s choirs, many published by reputable choral music publishers in Canada and the United States. Music has been performed in Canada, the USA, internationally, on YouTube, etc.
Now an Associate Composer of the Canadian Music Centre, and an Emeritus Member of the Canadian League of Composers.
My new satirical protest song, “Dinosaur Don”, is now being aired on “Amazing Radio” across the UK and USA. A quick listen to the lyrics will make it pretty clear who the song is about.

And on a completely different note, I present a bit of political satire!
