A WONDERFUL COMPOSER!

Grace Williams was one of the finest neo-Romantic 20th composers, and I love her work. I could scarcely believe she was Welsh or any nationality ither than American. Her music has a jazz edge to it, and in my playlists I have ended up classifying her under "American", not because SHE was, but because her music reflects soul.

Carleton Tarr <carl-tarrhotmail.com> writes: There appears to be a piano arrangement of Grace Williams Fantasia on Welsh Nursery Tunes — not a transcription. This published copy was performed from in the 1960’s — it appears to be on catalogue listings. It was a very listenable piece of music. Does someone know more about this?
