Dr Matthew Ward is a composer, performer and teacher of music. He has many years experience as a choral director and singer, as orchestral conductor and cellist. His doctoral work was in twelfth-century chant and he has taught music from secondary to Masters level, whilst publishing and lecturing on various subjects around liturgical music. This year the CTS have published a volume of Matthew's responsorial psalm settings for the three-year cycle of the Catholic Church's revised lectionary.
