Jeremy Huw Williams (baritone), Wendy Hiscocks
Grace Williams' lifelong interest in vocal music is undoubtedly due to her upbringing in Wales. The original works heard here in their premiere recordings span the entire range of her career, from her earliest surviving composition in any genre to 1967's Fear no more the heat o' the sun. Williams' folk song arrangements were often commissions for BBC children's programs, and although her craftsmanship is evident regardless of the song's country of origin, her stylistic signature is most evident in her restrained setting of the beautiful Welsh love song Cariad Cyntaf.
