Synopsis

Processional bustles with cheerful positivity throughout, its rondo-like structure clarified by the memorability of its abundant melodies. The harmony is modal to begin with, but moves from this deliberately archaic sound to more piquant and modern colours, building to a triumphant conclusion.

About the Author

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.
