Hyslop, Ricky, 1915-1998 : A violinist, conductor, composer and arranger born in Vancouver, Ricky Hyslop studied violin with Allard de Ridder and Jean de Rimanoczy. As a teenager, he was a violin soloist on radio station CNRV, and over the years was a member or soloist with numerous Canadian Radio Broadcasting Commission (CRBC) and CBC orchestras in Vancouver. From 1941 to 1953, he was music director of the "Harmony House" program, and also conducted the orchestras of various radio programs including "String Along" and "Scored by Hyslop". In 1959 he moved to Toronto, where he was named music director of the CBC's "Talent Caravan" television program. During the course of his career, he was also music director of a number of other television programs such as "1967 and All That" and "CBC Song Market". As well, for television he wrote the incidental music of numerous drama programs and series including "The Serial", "A Place for Everything", "A Gift to Last", and "The Human Journey". In 1976 he composed the score of a film by Silvio Narizzano (Why Shoot the Teacher?) that was presented at the Cannes Festival the following year.

In addition to Hyslop's compositions for violin, he wrote symphonic poems "Toronto 1830" and "Mizu Uni" as well as "Barca" (for guitar and soprano), "Ballet for 12 Strings" (for two guitars), and "Sedna: An Artic Legend", a one-act school operetta based on a text by his wife, singer Lorraine Johnson. Active throughout his life, he composed the sound track of the documentary The Russian German War, produced in 1995 by Jerry Lawton.
