Derek Holman : biographical history
1931-2019
VIAF ID: 76580259
Derek Holman was a composer, organist, choir conductor, and professor, born on May
16, 1931 in Illogan, England.
Holman studied at the Royal Academy of Music with Sir William McKie, Eric Thiman, and
York Bowen from 1948 to 1952, before becoming an instructor in the Royal Army
Educational Corps (1952-1954); master at Westminster Abbey Choir School (1954-1956);
assistant organist at St. Paul's cathedral (1956-1958); organist at Croydon Parish Church
(1958-1965); and, tutor, subwarden, and warden of the Royal School of Church Music
(1956-1965). He also founded the Croydon Bach Society in 1960.
He then immigrated to Canada in 1965, where he was the organist-choirmaster at Grace
Church-on-the-Hill (1965-1979), choirmaster at Bishop Strachan School, and professor
at the University of Toronto (1967-1996). He also directed the Concord Singers of
Toronto (1973-1975) and the Canadian Children's Opera Chorus (1975-1985), and was
the organist-choirmaster at the Church of St. Simon the Apostle (1981-1998).
The bulk of Holman's compositions are theatrical and choral music. He frequently
collaborated with Robertson Davies, who wrote the libretti for several of Holman's
compositions, including Doctor Canon's Cure (1982), which was commissioned by the
Canadian Children's Opera Chorus. Among his other commissions are Songs of
Darkness and Te Deum, written for the Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir; The Invisible
Reality and Tapestry; for the Toronto Symphony Orchestra; Nicholas Knock, The Heart
Mislaid, Airs and Echoes upon a ground, and The Death of Orpheus for the Aldeburgh
Connection; and many others.
Holman became a Fellow of the Royal Society of Church Music in 1972 and a Member of
the Order of Canada in 2002. He was also an associate of the Canadian Music Centre
and a member of the Canadian League of Composers. He passed away in Ottawa,
Ontario on May 20, 2019.
