Williams, Ralph Vaughan 1873 - 1956

Ralph Vaughan Williams (* October 12, 1872 in Down Ampney, Gloucestershire; † August 26, 1958 in London) was an English composer and conductor. His oeuvre, written over 60 years, includes operas, ballets, chamber music, religious and secular vocal works and orchestral compositions, including nine symphonies. Influenced by music of the Tudor period, traditional folk songs and works of English literature, he gave an independent voice to British music, which had long been dominated by German influences.
