{{Use Canadian English|date=August 2013}}{{Use dmy dates|date=August 2013}}Welford Russell (30 October 1900 – 1975) was a Canadian composer based in Toronto, Ontario.[1] He is particularly remembered for his output of choral works.[2][3]

Early life and education

Russell was born in Neepawa, Manitoba. He graduated from the University of Toronto in 1925.[4] He studied the organ in Ireland and pursued studies in music composition with Godfrey Ridout and singing with Weldon Kilburn at the Toronto Conservatory of Music.

Career

Russell worked as a surgeon and was a medical missionary in India from 1925–1941.[5][6] He left during World War II to serve in a medical corps.[7]

He pursued musical activities in his spare time. He published a Stabat mater and eight individual choral pieces, of which his part-song Who Is at My Window Who? has been widely performed.[8][9] The song was also recorded by the Festival Singers of Canada.[10] He also produced a number of anthems and motets which remain unpublished. He wrote a number of art songs, two of which, The Conqueror and Farewell to Arms, were premiered by bass David Mills.[11] Lois Marshall recorded several of his songs for CBC/Radio Canada in 1969 (RCI 333/SM 101).[12][13]

After his death in 1975, his papers were collected at the National Archives in Ottawa.[14]
