【汤姆·候活】
汤姆·候活(Tom Howard，1950年2月23日 - 2010年1月29日)是一位美国的钢琴家、编曲家及作曲家。在基督教音乐圈子里，他被誉为「基督教新纪元音乐的先驱者」(a pioneer of Christian New Age music)。
==生平==
汤姆·候活成长于明尼苏达州的Twin Cities。年青时开始接触摇滚音乐及学习钢琴，后曾在学院取得乐理及作曲的学位。七十年代，候氏曾与当时著明的基督教音乐人Larry Norman合作及巡回演出及录制唱片，候氏更于1977年灌录首张个人唱片 "A View from the Bridge"
1985年至1987年间，候氏创作了"The Harvest"、"The Hidden Passage"及"Solo Piano"三个以钢琴独奏为主体的音乐专辑，当中部份音乐改编至传统圣诗，编曲时揉合了新纪元(New Age)音乐的特色，听起来给人宁谧、安详的感觉。
2010年1月29日，候氏与妻子Dori于纳什维尔的Edwin Warner Park远足时心脏病发，享年59岁。
