Harry Stewart Somers, CC (September 11, 1925 – March 9, 1999) was one of the most influential and innovative contemporary Canadian composers of the past century.[1] Possessing a charismatic attitude and rather dashing good-looks, as well as a genuine talent for his art, Somers earned the unofficial title of “Darling of Canadian Composition.” [2] A truly patriotic artist, Somers was engaged in many national projects over the course his lifetime. He was a founding member of theCanadian League of Composers (CLC) and as such, was involved in the formation of other Canadian music organizations, including the Canada Council for the Artsand the Canadian Music Centre.[3] He frequently received commissions from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the Canada Council for the Arts.[4]
