Justin Taylor born 1984 Brandon, MB CANADAI am proud to call myself a friend and fan of Canadian born composer Justin Taylor. Taylor lives in Toronto, Canada and is quite visible in the modern classical world. He cites his main inspirations as most of the French and Russian composers of the 20th century. Taylor seems paticularly enamoured with Darius Milhaud and his experiments with polytonality.
This is not his latest work, but it was written in September of this year for conductor Alun Francis. It is a piece which is very much appropriate this time of year "La Premiere Neige D'Hiver" (The First Snow of Winter). He posted the demo of his orchestration along with a video he animated with manager Julio Colorado on YouTube recently:
