| Born Whitland, 1 Nov 1934; died Anglesey, 29 July 1992, Welsh composer. He studied with Berkeley at the RAM 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 (three for piano), chamber music (two string quartets, 1968, 1982), and the opera "The Servants" (1980).
