Richard Maldwyn-Price (1890-1952)

Born in Welshpool, he studied at the University College of Wales at Aberystwyth and was the first student to be awarded the degree of D.Mus (Wales). An organist and choirmaster in Welshpool, and a schoolmaster at Redhill and Malvern, he produced sacred choral works, string quartets and some music for brass band; Owain Glyndwr and Henry V were test pieces at the Open Championships in Manchester in 1938 and 1941 respectively and he also composed a Welsh Fantasy for brass. Orchestral music (often light in character) includes suites like the Bijou Suite, the Cambrian Suite (for strings), Gwalia Suite and Recreative Suite, overtures like the Concert Overture, An English Overture, Fantasie Overture and A Little Overture and individual movements: Air de Ballet, Bolero, Concert Valse, Introduction and Scherzo,Romance and Saltarello and a Fantasy on Captain Morgan's War Song. His music is now little known.
