Poetic Obituaries: [Malcolm Forsyth] won three Junos, received

the Queen's Jubilee Medal, and he was inducted into the Order of Canada in 2003.

In June, he travelled to the National Arts Centre in Ottawa to attend the world premiere of his final work, "A Ballad of Canada," which featured works by Canadian poets and a 160-person choir.

"In addition to being arguably one of Canada's greatest composers, Malcolm was also an important member of the NAC family," said National Arts Centre president and CEO Peter Herrndorf in a release.
