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.

"Brilliantly written for a problematic medium, the work makes a striking effect." - Musical Times, April 1986 "With its idiomatic solo writing, characterful structure and memorable ideas it is easily the most significant addition to the repertoire of organ concertos since that of Poulenc..." - Geraint Lewis, Welsh Music
