Humfrey Anger

Some of his more well known works are A Concert Overture for organ (1895), the patriotic song Hail Canada (1911), and Tintamarre, Morceau de Salon (1911), all of which were published by Whaley, Royce & Co.

The latter piece was notably the first published classical composition to thoroughly integrate true tone clusters.

[1] Born at Ashbury in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), Anger studied at New College, Oxford[2] where he earned a Bachelor of Music.

In 1897 his cantata A Song of Thanksgiving was awarded the Jubilee Prize by the Bath Philharmonic Society.

He was appointed president of the Canadian Society of Musicians in 1895 and was for several years the dean of the Ontario chapter of the American Guild of Organists.
