John Bell
Composer Biography
John Bell was born in, resides in, and belongs to Scotland, however many consider him an honorary Aussie due to the fact that he has graced our shores on many occasions where he has facilitated a variety of workshops and concerts. John is a liturgical composer who writes co-operatively with colleagues in Glasgow; he has a deep interest in music from non-European cultures and a passion for song of the Assembly. Though his primary vocation is as a preacher and teacher, he spends over half his time working in the areas of music and liturgy, both at conferences and in small parishes, and his work takes him frequently into Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia. With his colleagues, he has produced over 15 collections of songs and sheet music, and numerous books on prayer, liturgy and life. As One Voice, Uniting God's People in Song features ten compositions written by him. John has been described as a bohemian bloke. He manages to survive and thrive without the benefit of a wife, car, cell phone, camera, or ipod!
