CLARENCE LUCAS (1866-1947), according to his friend, W. O. Forsyth, was born on the Grand River Indian Reservation (near Brantford, Ont.) where his father, a Methodist minister, was a missionary. He began formal studies when he moved to Montreal in 1878. After studying in Paris with Georges-Eugène Marty and Théodore Dubois, he returned to Canada and taught at the Toronto College of Music and Wesleyan Ladies College in Hamilton. From 1907-1919 he was on the editorial staff of the New York Musical Courier and then moved to London and Sèvres, France to continue his composing and freelance music editing.
