Robert has had an extraordinary career in many facets of the music industry. He’s worked with major artists and on many international projects, but it is his catalogue of works for wind band that may be his greatest achievement. Thousands of musicians in schools, colleges, community and professional bands around the world perform his works every year – and for good reason. Each of his compositions for wind band is unique, imaginative and full of heart and each is able to reach both the musicians who perform them and the audience who hears them equally. It’s rare for a composer to get it so right, so often.

Robert Buckley is without question Canada’s preeminent composer of band music. I was so impressed with Bob’s musical palette – no two works sound alike – that I commissioned him to write a piece for me. The result was “Seas of the Moon,” a spectacular four-movement suite so evocative of the moon itself. I commend it to you!
