 Chisholm died of a heart attack at age 61 and left all his music to the University of Cape Town . Although he composed over 100 works , only 17 were published , of which 14 were issued in printed score . As Scottish composers are few and the quality of his music is often good , his apologists have argued that his works should be heard more regularly . His style was called varied , eclectic , and challenging , but his music was also known to be harsh and often unattractive to audiences . Even so , a number of his works , including his pieces for piano and voice , have been revived and recorded .
