| David W. Solomons was born in Oxford in 1953 and has lived in various parts of England, France and Hong Kong. He graduated from Oxford University in Modern Languages, preferring to go his own way in music and to teach himself the arts of singing, guitar-playing and composing.
His compositional style is relatively retrospective, and he makes full use of the possibilities offered by the use of modes, especially various oriental modes (Middle Eastern and Japanese), and the Dorian and octatonic modes, as well as the better-known major and minor modes.
He currently lives in Sale, Cheshire and works in Manchester as a translator. He sings alto with various choirs at the Cathedral in Manchester and composes secular and religious works, some of which can occasionally be heard at the Cathedral and at the Royal Northern College of Music as well as places further afield.
