Healey Willan.....Canada's greatest composer

Willan's contribution to the music of the Anglican communion, both in Canada and worldwide, can not be underestimated. He was master of music at the Church of St Mary Magdalene, in Toronto, for over fifty years until his death in 1968. Besides the incredible amount of church and organ music, Willan also composed a Piano Concerto, two Symphonies, one opera and much more. It has been said that Willan was the dean of Canadian composers.
