William Mathias (1934-1992) William Mathias was born in Whitland, Dyfed. He studied at the University College of Wales, and subsequently at the Royal Academy of Music. From 1970-1988 he was Head of the Music Department at the University College of North Wales, Bangor.
Mathias musical language embraced both instrumental and vocal forms with equal success, and he addressed a large and varied audience both in Britain and abroad. He was also known as a conductor and pianist, and gave or directed many premières of his own works. He was made CBE in the 1985 New Year's Honours. In 1992, the year of his death, Nimbus Records embarked upon a series of recordings of his major works.

"A triumph of imaginative orchestration. It is always difficult to write a concerted piece for harp because of the problems of balancing the solo instrument with the orchestra. Here the solo harp part is unusually well written and there is no modern concerto for the harp which resolves all the problems so perfectly." - David Watkins, Audio
