Acknowledgments
By way of acknowledgment, I must first give my sincere gratitude to Dr. Peter Johnson for his guidance and encouragement, to Guy Woolfenden for giving his time so generously, and to Timothy Reynish for the many ways in which he has supported me as a conductor and for endorsing this book’. I would also like to thank Don Owens who has been a father, mentor, teacher, and friend. Thank you, D. O., for all you have done. Thank you to Simone Hill for her assistance and for her humour. On a more personal note, I would like to acknowledge the role my parents, Lillian and Melvin Hinton, have played in making me the man, musician, teacher, and scholar I am today. They have long left this earth but continue to be an important part of my life. Thank you, mom and dad. A special thank you to Nicola for her love and support.
