William Mathias (1934-1992)
Welsh
composer William Mathias studied with Lennox Berkeley at the Royal
Academy of Music and from 1959 taught at University College, Bangor.
His music draws on Bartók, Hindemith, Stravinsky and Tippett: the style
is essentially tonal and his preference for standard multi-movement
forms allows for lyrical and dynamic expression. He wrote much choral
music, besides concertos, chamber music, and the opera The Servants (1980). Recognised as being among the finest musicians of his generation,
William Mathias became one of the first Welsh composers to achieve
international acclaim.COMPOSITIONS Mathias Links ~ ~ ~ Works by Genre
