Conductor, composer and arranger Howard Cable has been a leading figure in the musical life of Canada for over 60 years. In February 2000, he was inducted as a Member of the Order of Canada. He studied at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto,with Sir Ernest MacMillan, Ettore Mazzoleni and Healey Willan. His early years were spent in radio when he succeeded Percy Faith on CBC in 1941. He composed and conducted over 1000 radio dramas and variety programs. On television, he was music director and arranger for many celebrated telecasts, including the highly popular “Showtime”. Mr. Cable’s familiarity with a broadrange of repertoire has kept him in demand as an arranger/composer for the Elmer Iseler Singers, the Toronto Mendelssohn Choir,Sharon, Lois and Bram, The Toronto Children’s Chorus, The True North Brass and the Hannaford Street Silver Band. This has resulted in the recording of his compositions and arrangements on many record labels and performances worldwide.
His work in musical theater has led to notable collaborations. On Broadway, he arranged for Richard Rodgers, Meredith Willson and Frank Loesser, and conducted “Man of La Mancha”. In the entertainment world he has conducted for Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennet, Peggy Lee, Bob Hope, Victor Borge, Danny Kaye and Jim Carrey.
His twenty-year association with the Canadian Brass has resulted in his writing over eighty compositions and arrangements. He arranged for the Canadian Brass in collaboration with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir as well as for their Lincoln Center concerts with the New York Philharmonic Brass.

Howard Cable
Chromatones is a study in harmonic twists, contrasting dynamics and an emphasis on the chromatic progression of semitones. Demonstrative are the matters of tone, time, chromaticism, forward motion and variety of style.
I planned this composition to keep the music interesting for all those involved and to challenge both the intermediate player and the novice student.
