Who are we?

A Canadian musician and a French music lover.

We live in British Columbia, Canada.

The musician, Marjorie Cullerne, is a great-niece of Haydn Wood. She is a busy violinist and violin teacher. She has two university degrees in Music History. Marjorie is fortunate to have in her possession much of the family archive about Haydn Wood.

The music lover, Gilles Gouset, has been a cinema teacher and a researcher in film for forty years. Living in Picardy, France, led him to start researching on the history of the song Roses of Picardy. He is now dedicating his time into researching the life and works of Haydn Wood.

 

Our activities:

We are reconstructing the story of Haydn Wood's life.

We are diligently and enthusiastically endeavouring to share with music lovers the scope of his heart-warming and melodious music. He composed approximately 300 compositions besides the already famous Roses of Picardy.

We are creating a fully referenced catalogue of Haydn Wood's compositions. Our private music library contains more than 800 versions of his musical works.

We are organizing or would be willing to help others organize concerts of his works.

We give lecture presentations on his life and his works.

We are have produced the first ever compact disc with songs all composed by Haydn Wood.
