Barbara Pentland......Canada's response to serialism



This may hurt your ears but give it a try. The music is very beautiful if you have the ears and mind to listen for the treasures contained in this masterpiece.

Quebec's Jacques Hetu



I first heard the music of Hetu when I was 16 years old and I had no trouble appreciating his music language. Sadly Hetu passed away recently. His music can be heard by clicking on the link: Canadian Music Centre.

Srul Irving Glick



The music of Srul Irving Glick is another Canadian treasure. His music is a pleasure to listen to and there is no way on earth this will hurt your ears.

Sit back and enjoy!

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.

Maryan Mozetich.....a Canadian classic



Mozetich is a wonderful composer and having heard a lot of his works, I must admit that he is one of Canada's gift to the world of music.
