"I was born in a smallish town in Canada 2 hours outside of Toronto. I studied piano as a child, and attended a school for the arts from grade 4 to grade 8. I wrote my first composition at age 13 for piano and 4 part choir, which my senior class sang at St.Mary's Cathedral at our graduation. Toronto called me a young adult, where I spent all my 20's in the music industry scene, engineering, producing, and eventually composing music for commercials and small TV shows. My ambition led me to move to Los Angeles. My 30's are defined by my time in LA, working with James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer and so many other talented people. I current live with my beautiful wife in Santa Monica, and work / share studio space with Hans, now a good friend, at his state of the art Remote Control Facility.

Canada is, and will always be where I am from. But California is home. ....As my childhood piano teacher once said so wisely... nothing comes out that didn't first go in. We are all a product of our influences and filtering all that information through our own sense of good taste (hopefully :) and what speaks to us, what moves us. I guess to that end, I love music like I love cooking, wine and food. Mario Batali speaks to my desire for food from the heart, comforting and alive. Thomas Keller speaks to my need for intellectual pursuit and the never ending strive toward perfection, or better put toward excellence. Music is much the same, The Rite of Spring, widely considered the peak before the inevitable breakdown of the boundaries of tonality, speaks to me in deep and amazing way. As does a soft piano piece by Debussy, or the memory of my Grandmother playing me "puff the magic dragon" on the piano as I sat in her lap, or a book from my childhood. Music is the thing? Indeed. But more directly put, in life, Balance.... is the thing."

This is GREAT music ... I really love the Wolsey commits suicide...but it is because that score that was playing was perfect for the love scene in the woods with Anne and Henry... very hot scene LOL

The first series had excellent music. I think it was quite accurate. BUT, who were the musicians and why are they not credited? Good dance music and lutenist.

The second series had VERY poor music. Oh dear, in fact... OH MY GOD !!!!!! Whoever was responsible should be sacked.

The third series again has quite good music (realised your mistake I guess) but let the musicians be credited for goodness sake !!!!
