BAXTER, Garth (USA)
 Garth Baxter is noted for his modern traditionalist style of writing. Born in Philadelphia in 1946, he grew up in California and earned music degrees from Pepperdine University and California State University at Northridge. He studied composition with Robert Hall Lewis, Joseph Wagner, and William Thornton. Baxter is a gifted teacher, a talented performer, and a respected critic for periodicals and newspapers, but music composition remains his first love. He was a prizewinner in the 1997 Delius Composition Contest, and his compositions for voice, guitar, and piano, as well as other instrumental and vocal combinations, have been performed throughout North America and Europe. He is on the music faculty of Western Maryland College in Westminster, Maryland, where he lives with his wife Katherine.
