November is the eleventh and penultimate month of the year in the Julian and Gregorian Calendars , the fourth and last of four months to have a length of 30 days , and the fifth and last of five months to have a length of less than 31 days. November was the ninth month of the ancient Roman calendar. November retained its name from the Latin novem meaning "nine" when January and February were added to the Roman calendar.

It was part of their education. They were not enthusiastic but neither was I. Once they started, they really enjoyed it. Your earliest memory of hearing music? There was never a time when I did not hear music. Hearing my parents sing every week in church, it was just a part of our life.

Hearing a countertenor for the first time made an impression on me. Your first memory of making music yourself? My earliest memory of singing was in school when the itinerant music teacher would visit the class once a week for 30 minutes. It was always something that the whole class enjoyed. Where did you grow up, and go to school? I was born in Toronto and grew up with my four sisters in a small house in Willowdale.
My dad Albert was a life insurance salesman and my mother Anne was a full-time homemaker when we were younger and then a legal secretary when were grew old enough to take care of ourselves.
Although my parents sang, my sisters all took up instruments in the school orchestra, which they continued through high school. I was the only one who sang on a regular basis and that only happened because Walter MacNutt, the director of music at St. Mary Magdalene one Sunday after mass to recruit me.

I was not very interested until he said all the choristers got paid. Our house was located directly across the street from Earl Haig Secondary School. Every year in the fall, before I got to high school, I used to hurry home to watch all the Earl Haig football games. In those days it was not an arts school — it was more of a football factory. They had great teams and always seemed to win their games.
I could not wait to get there. At that time, football was of much more interest than music. Today, I have a lot of talented friends and colleagues who went to the same school, but the funny thing is that they are all at least 20 years younger than me. They went to Earl Haig after it became an arts school and today are very accomplished professional musicians. She was in the Festival Singers of Canada and was also the first female member of the Toronto Consort.
In fact, at this point after nine years away at St. All it took was the lure of the flesh. I had spent about five and a half years singing treble, the last two under protest. Although I was head chorister Walter would not let me leave the treble section. Finally I went to him and said that it was just not right that someone who ran around all week playing high school football had to wear a ruff around his neck on Sunday.

This, and then meeting and eventually working with Gary Crighton, long-time member of the Toronto Consort, had a huge impact on me becoming a countertenor. When I stopped singing treble, I was briefly a tenor at St. I tried alto and Gary literally badgered me on the way into church on Christmas Eve to join the alto section and not continue as a tenor.
He convinced me and that was that.

After high school, I went to university and earned a BA. I had no intention of seeking a career in music but people started hiring me to sing and I just sort of backed into a career. Did you play an instrument as a child? I took piano lessons up to grade six, but gave up too soon. Football was all-consuming at the time. Early experiences of making music with other people? I remember singing at St.
It was marvellous to sing the music that I had grown up hearing at SMM but I remember being disappointed by the awful acoustics. I had gone from the lush resonance of SMM to the deadening wall-to-wall broadloom of St.
