'R Murray Schafer is best known as one of Canada's foremost composers.
He has composed many works in all forms such as his giant "Patria"
cycle of operas (for lack of a better term) including the 12 hour
long "RA" and "The Princess of Stars" which is staged at a wilderness
lake. Schafer is also the world's foremost acoustic ecology theorist
and a prolific author. In addition this true renaissance man is also
a visual artist of considerable attainments.'
- Gordon Rumson, writing in Music & Vision, 16 July 2000

Schafer's work, and is available at
