Grace Mary Williams (1906-1977) was one of the first professional Welsh composers of the twentieth-century to attain significant national recognition, and is now recognized as one of the greatest female composers of the XXth Century. Her large output encompasses two symphonies, several symphonic suites and symphonic poems, concertos for piano, violin, trumpet and oboe, as well as large-scale choral works, numerous vocal compositions and a few chamber and solo instrumental pieces.
