Ruth Watson Henderson
Ruth Watson Henderson's contribution to choral music has evolved over many years, resulting in international respect and praise. One of Canada's leading composers, a church musician, and the accompanist for the Toronto Children's Chorus, she has received numerous awards, including an Honorary Fellowship from the Royal Canadian College of Organists. She is frequently commissioned to write both sacred and secular music for many outstanding North American choirs and festivals. A number of choirs have performed concerts devoted entirely to her music. One critic, writing about the Elmer Iseler Singers' CD of her music, said, "Ruth Watson Henderson, whose years as an accompanist contributed to an understanding of the expressive possibilities of choral sound, has given birth to some of the most singable choral music in the Canadian literature".
