My name is Clyde McLennan, and I live in Australia. I am 65 years of age.

Musician

During my teenage years, I learnt to play the Pipe Organ, and enjoyed playing the classics from the great composers. All through my life, there has always been opportunities to publically use my musical gifts. (There is some of my organ playing on my site at www.smallchurchmusic.com ).

I've always had a wide musical taste, and greatly enjoyed improvisiations of well known tunes and hymns. This interest in improvisation has led me to do study in jazz piano playing, which is reflected in the songs in the www.jazzworship.com web page.

Baptist Minister

I'm and ordained Baptist Minister, and for about 25 years served in many of our smaller and often struggling Churches in a part time capacity.

My main gifts of ministry have been in the teaching and explaining what God's Word means to us today. People often tell me I can express its truth and message in a way they can understand.

Working Life

As indicated above, I looked after smaller Churches while I supported myself through secular employment. Since 1970 I have worked at Australia's largest paper mills, designing, programming and implementing computer software systems for the manufacturing and commercial processes.

Having now retired from full-time secular employment, the Paper Mills have asked me to stay on as an occasional consultant. This has given me the opportunity to follow other pursuits, and hence taking up composing and writing, where were not previously possible.

Family

I'm married to a lovely supportive wife. She too is a fine musician, and over the years has done a lot of accompanying. In recent days we have played in some local aged care facilities.

We have previously travelled to USA and Canada to see family and for work. Since my retirement from fulltime work, we have travelled overseas through United Kingdom and Europe, as well as in Australia and New Zealand.

Here are my compositions:
