Don WRIGHT,
Musician And Teacher (1908-2006)
Composer wrote jingles for products from Bromo-Seltzer to Coffee
Crisp and formed a charitable foundation that endowed music faculties
and athletic programs across Canada, Sandra
MARTIN writes
By Sandra MARTIN,
Page S9
Known as the jingle king for writing the words and music for
hundreds of commercials for products such as Bromo-Seltzer (his
daughter Priscilla sang the vocals), Carling's Red Cap Ale, Tide,
Kelvinator and Coffee Crisp, Don
WRIGHT was a natural showman
and educator, and a very talented musician. As a teenager, he
played the trumpet in The Wright Brothers Orchestra, a dance
band started by his father. Later, he founded both the Don Wright
Chorus and the Don Wright Singers, and composed and conducted
music for radio, television and documentary films.
Prodigiously hard-working, Mr.
WRIGHT amassed many millions of
dollars in a long and productive life, from royalties, wise investments
and the cushion provided by his beloved wife Lillian's inheritance
from her father, former prime minister Sir Arthur
MEIGHEN. He
had a motto: "He who gives while he lives also knows where it
goes." Since forming the Don Wright Charitable Foundation, in
1966, he had been true to that adage by endowing music faculties
and athletic programs at universities across the country, funding
hospital maternity wings in honour of his wife's love of babies,
as well as giving $3-million to his alma mater, the University
of Western Ontario.
Donald
John
Alexander
WRIGHT was one of five children (four boys
and a girl) of Ernest Joel (Ernie) and Mary Jean (Mamie)
WRIGHT
from Strathroy, Ontario The
WRIGHTs had emigrated from Exeter
in England in the 1850s, not long before Mamie's parents, the
Clarks, had arrived from Scotland.
Ernie loved to sing and act in minstrel shows and Gilbert and
Sullivan operettas. At 18, he was spotted by scouts from a New
York company who invited him to move to the United States to
become a professional actor. His father's stern disapproval made
him decline the offer. Instead, he opened a store in Strathroy,
selling pianos and other musical instruments, and founded his
own piano-manufacturing company in 1907, which flourished until
the mid-1920s when the factory burned down.
Mamie also loved to sing and play the piano, and is said to have
taught her four sons a new song every week before they were old
enough to go to school. Donald sang in public, "right on key,"
at the age of 2, and then climbed on his proud mother's lap and
went to sleep, according to a family memoir written by Mr.
WRIGHT's
sister, Mary Jean
WRIGHT, an emeritus professor of psychology
at University of Western Ontario.
Donald joined the church choir before he could read, having been
taught the words of the processional and recessional hymns by
his mother, and had taught himself to play the trumpet by the
time he was 10.
His father Ernie organized garden parties to promote his pianos
and to showcase his sons and himself as entertainers. They were
so good that the family was hired to tour the garden-party circuit,
offering one-hour concerts in 20-minute segments. Donald was
also studying the cello with Howard
GORDON, who had once played
with the Edinburgh Symphony. At 14, Donald won the gold medal
in a nationwide competition held at Massey Hall in Toronto. The
same year, he and his three brothers put together a five-piece
dance band (with Donald on the trumpet) and landed a gig playing
for open-air dancing at nearby Brights Grove.
Young Donald was an exemplary student, but he did have some foibles.
A sleepwalker, he got up one night, left the house and walked
across the street to a neighbour's house -- unconsciously. He
also couldn't stand the ticking of an alarm clock, and would
scream "stop the clock" in the middle of the night until somebody
found the offending instrument and buried it in the laundry hamper
in the bathroom. In high school, he excelled in track and field,
winning the regional track championships in 1928 and 1929. And
he scored high marks academically until his fifth year of high
school, when he and a friend made a pact to do absolutely no
work, failed all their exams and had to repeat the year. Waking
up, at least figuratively, Mr.
WRIGHT realized that if he wanted
to study honours classics at university, he needed Greek, so
he mastered the four-year Greek curriculum with a tutor and earned
an entrance scholarship to University of Western Ontario in 1929.
He kept his scholarship through four years of undergraduate work,
graduating in 1933 with the Ferguson Trophy. As an athlete, he
reigned supreme in the hurdles and set a broad-jump record that
stood for more than 40 years. Meanwhile, he was hyperactive musically,
leading the university orchestra, starting the marching band
and arranging all the music, and serving as musical director
for The Wright Brothers Orchestra.
At its peak, the dance band had nine players, travelled in its
own van and played summer resorts in Port Elgin and then in Hamilton.
Real life intruded in 1934, when Ernest, the second brother,
was called to the bar and was told by a senior barrister in his
firm that it was not on for a lawyer to play in a dance band.
By then, Donald
WRIGHT had graduated from the Ontario College
of Education and had accepted a teaching job beginning that September
at Sir Adam Beck Collegiate in London. His employers also looked
askance at his musical sideline. Besides, during the Depression,
it was frowned upon to hold more than one paying job.
He met Lillian
MEIGHEN, his future wife, in the summer of 1930
at the old Embassy night club in Toronto. Mr.
WRIGHT and his
brothers were playing, she was there dancing with Friends. As
Mr. WRIGHT's sister tells the story, Ms.
MEIGHEN fell in love
with the trumpet player and persuaded her brother Max, a member
of Delta Upsilon fraternity (as were three of the
WRIGHT brothers,)
to bring his "fraternal" brother home so she could meet him.
They were married five years later, after a thorough vetting
by her father, who took his daughter on a long trip to Australia
to separate the lovers and withheld his consent for the nuptials
until Mr. WRIGHT had taught for a year and saved $1,000. The
couple lived in London, where their three children were born,
until they moved to Toronto in 1956, buying a large house on
Chestnut
Park
Road where Mr.
WRIGHT continued to live after his
wife died of Alzheimer's disease in 1993.
As a schoolteacher, Mr.
WRIGHT was hired to instruct students
in classics and history and to promote music in the school. The
challenge was to encourage children not only to sing, but to
do it with enthusiasm and in harmony. Mr.
WRIGHT put his innovative
ideas into a series of manuals outlining his techniques for arranging
music for the changing voice, and eventually gave copies to every
high school in Ontario, at his own cost. He also organized and
conducted a school orchestra and a glee club at Sir Adam Beck,
all of which led to an invitation in 1940 to become director
of music for all London schools, a position he held until 1946.
Mr. WRIGHT tried to enlist when the Second World War erupted,
but instead of being sent overseas he was commanded to put on
shows to entertain the troops at their training centres. For
the next six years, in addition to his "day" job, he and his
army of volunteers mounted three shows a week, never putting
on the same program twice in the same place, with Mr.
WRIGHT
planning the performances, writing the music and conducting the
musicians.
When the war ended, he gave up teaching and became manager of
radio station
CFPL in London, where he hugely improved the ratings
and developed a staff orchestra and choir known as the Don Wright
Chorus. In 1950, he went out on his own, founding Don Wright
Productions. His chorus was soon being heard on major radio networks
here and in the United States, and he expanded his interest in
music education by publishing Youthful Voices and other manuals,
and giving workshops in many cities on both sides of the border.
He moved into television big time in the 1950s, writing jingles
for commercials, founding the Don Wright Singers, serving as
musical director for The Denny Vaughn Show, Cliff McKay's Holiday
Ranch and The Wayne and Shuster Show, and composing the music
for several documentary films including A Day to Remember and
The Unknown Country. All this creative and frenetic activity
came to a halt in December, 1961, when he suffered a heart attack
that forced him to convalesce for three months and then to ease
his workload -- somewhat.
When the Queen came to Canada in centennial year, Mr.
WRIGHT
composed, produced and conducted a medley of songs entitled Proudly
We Praise, highlighting each province and territory, for the
two-day celebrations on Parliament Hill on June 30 and July 1.
He was congratulated by the Queen and given the Centennial Medal.
His last major publication was a 20-volume thesaurus entitled
Fifty Years of Music with Don Wright. He donated copies to teachers'
colleges and universities across Canada.

COX) at one of the dances and the rest was history. They courted
each other for their entire lives together. At the University
of Western Ontario, Don started the U.W.O. marching band - an
institution that continues to this day. He was a very successful
athlete as a sprinter, high hurdler and his long jump record
of twenty-three feet, eight inches held for over a quarter century.
Don taught music, history, Latin and Greek for several years
at Sir Adam Beck Collegiate in London and all of his classes
were over-subscribed. His pedagogical talents were prodigious
and his former pupils still rave about his classes more than
60 years after he taught them. Don became supervisor of music
for the London Board of Education and from there he was recruited
to take over the reins of
CFPL
Radio.▲ He completely remodeled
the studios and control rooms and simultaneously brought new
and exciting programming to life. He increased the audience levels
many times over. His "
CFPL
Goes▲
Calling▲" brought many talented
people (both musical and other forms of radio entertainment)
onto the airwaves. Such voices as Max Ferguson (Rawhide), Ward
Cornell, John Tretheway and Murray Brown were all brought into
CFPL by Don. His outstanding creation while there was his "Don
Wright Chorus" which entranced audiences throughout both Canada
and the U.S. all through the early 1950s. Don moved to Toronto
in 1955 and continued his advertising "jingle" business in addition
to being Musical Director for the Denny Vaughn Show, Wayne and
Schuster and the Cliff McKey show "Holiday Ranch". He developed
a new radio choir called the Don Wright Singers which performed
for several years. As his career matured he composed a series
of provincial anthems presented in a performance package called
"Proudly we Praise", a tribute to Canada, which could be performed
by professionals or amateurs, and Don was very proud to be asked
to arrange and conduct a performance of this work on Parliament
Hill on Canada's Centennial for Queen Elizabeth II. Don's philanthropy
in later years was generous and impressive. He donated to track
and field endeavours and musical programmes at many universities
across Canada. He received several Honourary Doctorates from
Canadian Universities for these efforts, and the faculties of
music at U.W.O. and Victoria University bear his name. Grace
Hospital in Toronto as well as Saint Michael's Hospital's maternity
centres bear his and Lillian's names. A celebration of his life
will be held in Saint_James Cathedral, 65 Church Street, (at King
Street East) Toronto on Thursday, July 6th at 11 o'clock. A reception
will follow. Private entombment in the family niche at Mount
Pleasant Cemetery. Please direct any donations to the charity
of your choice.
