Pictured here is the Anglo-Canadian organist and composer Healey Willan (1880–1968). He was born in London, where he spent his early career, and immigrated to Canada in 1913. From 1921 until his death, he was Precentor of the Church of St. Mary Magdalene in Toronto, establishing that church as a major center of Anglican music in North America.
