Now Available:

Recorded by: Chorale Saint-Jean, Dr. Laurier Fagnan, conductor.

If you are like me, you are hoping we will be able to do Christmas concerts in 2020. If you are looking for a new affirming Christmas piece with French text, I suggest you consider this one: "Noël existe-t-il encore?".
The work is not overly difficult and has a lovely text and tune by Dr. France Levasseur-Ouimet. 
In 2009, I arranged this work for SATB voices and piano. It is now available through Cypress Choral Music (CP1798).
Visit Cypress Choral Music for the full text, a translation, the complete score,  Chorale Saint-Jean's fine recording, and ordering information.

I am an award-winning Canadian composer, living in London, Canada. I write vocal music, but I have also been returning to writing instrumental music during these times of Covid 19! I invite you to visit the "Listen" pages to hear fine choirs and ensembles perform my music. In the Blog section there is information about special concerts of some of my full-scale vocal-orchestral works and other information that I hope you find interesting. Hopefully there will be many more of these in 2021 as we return to live performances again, something that I have missed greatly in 2020!

​My music is published in Canada by Cypress Choral Music, l'Alliance des chorales du Quebec, Rhythmic Trident Music, and the Canadian Music Centre, and in the U.S.A. by Colla Voce, Lorenz Corporation, and Santa Barbara Music Publishers.
