Weinzweig was often dubbed "The Dean of Canadian Composers" -- one of the country's first modernist composers, one of the finest modernist composers of any place or time [definitely in my own personal Top Ten Composers Ever], and teacher to generations that followed. Most likely no single person had a greater effect on the flavour and direction of my nation's "serious" music.
Maestro, I salute you.
