Owain Arwel HughesAbout
Paul Mealor is one of the current generation of composers from Wales, studying with Mathias. His music was performed at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton in 2011, and ‘Wherever You Are’ was the Christmas no.1 single in the UK in the same year. Arwel Hughes studied with Vaughan Williams and was a key player in the establishment of music at BBC Wales, becoming Head of Music in 1965. He composed in all fields, from oratorios, religious music, chamber and orchestral music – the latter often drawing on Welsh legends and history.
Christopher Wood’s powerful Aberfan is a musical memorial to the 21 October 1966 harrowing tragedy that occurred when coal spoil tip engulfed a school, killing 116 children and 28 adults in surrounding streets.
