Mr. Hannah was born in 1945 in the province of Saskatchewan, and has resided most of his life in Western Canada. He studied piano and clarinet as a child, and later studied the cello in order to better understand how to write for strings. In 2009 returned to his homeland after several years of backpacking the world. At present he resides in Austria and is married to singer/director Andrea Mellis.
His interests are eclectic, ranging from travel and the sciences to history, wine and Eastern philosophy. In 1969 he received a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Alberta in Edmonton, and a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music degree (student of Violet Archer, Malcolm Forsyth and Manus Sasonkin) from the same institution in 1973 and 1975 respectively. He taught in public schools in Edmonton after receiving a Diploma in Education in 1980, finally burning out in 1996 from the years of patiently trying to present a rich and thoughtful music curriculum to people with a hockey mentality. At his website, visitors can listen to and download many of his pieces of music and read his lively descriptions of same.
His works have been performed in Canada and internationally, and many of them appear on CDs produced by the Edmonton Composers’ Concert Society (now New Music Edmonton), of which he was the founding president. He is also a reviewer and essayist, and some of his writings may be read at his website.
His catalogue includes some 100 works: choral works, chamber music, song cycles, orchestral music, solo instrumental music, two ballets and three operas - the most recent being based on the life of St. Gregory of Armenia. It is entitled, "The Illuminator", and was premiered in April of 2017 in Yerevan. He prefers texts and stories that express the human condition in a vivid and honest manner, and that are colourful in language and irreverent in tone. His music tends toward the conservative with a streak of Romanticism; written in a style that he describes as "dissonant pan-tonality", but elements of the atonal, of textural writing, of minimalism, and of randomness can also be found, with always the intent to be understood and enjoyed by an audience. He has received commissions from the Alberta Foundation for the Arts and the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and many individuals.
