About Bill Douglas
Artist Biography
Canadian Bill Douglas personifies the eclecticism that characterizes 21st-century New Age music. A critically acclaimed recording artist, he has released several best-selling Celtic-flavored titles. He composes classical musical pieces for orchestras and choral groups around the world, and has taught music history and technique on the university level. He has played jazz piano, and classical bassoon, and worked as a musical theorist. Often setting elegant 18th- and 19th-century poetry to original tunes, Douglas makes excellent use of the spine-tingling choral blends of the Ars Nova Singers. The hymn-like songs traverse a surprising variety of styles, from Celtic to classical to folk to an almost aboriginal tribal feel.
