❝Fantastic work. All of the stylistic leanings and approaches coalesce into something truly spectacular. Filled with nuance, flight and passion. Just grand. Well done.❞ http://soundcloud.com/bluemurderjazz

❝I love this track. It has so much character. I can imagine sitting in a small hall near Ardnamurchan hearing you play this. You have captured the desolation, the fierce elements and the force 10 gales. Great playing - slightly loose, but that adds to the charm. More like this please... ❞ http://soundcloud.com/guyjacksonmusic

❝Wow!! !I feel anger at the beginning of the song, forgiveness later, then a good mix of despair and joy. Is that what we call true love? Fantastic! ❞ Jon Skarin

❝Very nice performance! I love the static, because it serves as an acknowledgement of the music behind this – especially the Debussy sonata and the Undine sonata by Reinicke… and a reminder of the time that has gone beyond that, too…❞ http://soundcloud.com/hdathome

❝Blown away by that piece, truely a masterpiece! Beautifully played! I especially loved the ending, amazing work! :) ❞ http://soundcloud.com/freemondo88

CANTILENA - I have used this title for the cd as most of my pieces are in a singing style.

01&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/cantilena-in-full-with-added> Cantilena</a> This is my take on the Italian 'baroque’. I hope you find it an exhilarating piece. It started off as one of nine voluntaries for organ.

02&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/ardnamurchan-point> Ardnamurchan Point</a> The most westerly point on mainland Scotland and not too far from Fingal's Cave. It’s my miniature version of that piece in Victorian style. Depicted are the waves crashing on to the cliff below the Egyptian style lighthouse.

03&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-3-1> Little Prelude</a> has an obvious reference to J.S. Bach (one of the Brandenburg concertos).

04&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-4> Carol</a> The carol is 'Christ was born on Christmas day' - in medieval style - I can't remember if the tune is mine or traditional... a sure sign of old age. ;-)

05&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-5> Variation on a carol</a> These variations got me a prize at the Welsh National Eisteddfod.

06&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-6> David of the white rock</a> is probably the best known Welsh folksong. The dying harper wants one final play on his beloved instrument.

07&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-7> Theme and variations</a> was my first piece which got a performance This was at a college concert at Aberystwyth .

08/09&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-8> Reeds and Strings</a> My concertina pieces were written as a result of being commissioned for a piece by the International Concertina Society to mark the centenary of Wheatstone's invention of the instrument. 

10&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-10> Concertina Toccata</a> This Toccata is a seriously virtuosic piece starting in fairly modern style and then looking back (possibly to Schumann) then ending in the present with a flourish. It’s my favourite piece on the disk.

11&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-11> Ymwelwyr</a> contrasts living in the mining region of South Wales with the joy of a visit to Aberystwyth with it's swooping gulls, rippled sand and historic castle ruins which tell of past history. The poem is by J.R.Jones. [With thanks to Gomer Press for their kind permission to use the poem.]

12&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-12> Poem</a> The poem/song is by James Thompson who is better known for the poem that became 'Rule Britannia'

13&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-13> Sonatina</a> is in a somewhat French style. Since the French invented the modern harp this is not inappropriate.

14&nbsp;<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/suair-gwynt-with-added-static> Suai'r Gwynt</a> is the centrepiece of a Christmas cantata. I have used it again with a connecting central section in the Piano Trio.

[<a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/bbc-radio-wales-adam-walton>You can hear Adam Walton's kind comments on this piece broadcast on BBC Radio Wales</a>] 

Côr ABC / ABC Choir Suai’r Gwynt - Nantlais Côr ABC Arweinydd Angharad Fychan, Cyfeilydd Louise Amery
ABC stands for aelwyd bro Ceredigion - literally translates as home area of Ceredigion, but means a youth club. The choir was formed in 1995 as a youth choir and has kept the name… although they are all a little bit older now. :-) The choir is based at Aberystwyth but gives concerts over a wide area. They won chief prize at Strata Florida folk festival in 2007.

15 - 17&nbsp; <a href=http://soundcloud.com/richardllwilliams/sample-15>Piano trio in A</a> This was written in 2010 and we played it at Cardigan Town Hall where it received a rapturous reception (well no one walked out anyway).

 &nbsp;&nbsp;✰ String Quartets played by two ✰ 

❝As you may or may not have gathered, tracks 1, 2, 7, 8 and 9 are all multi-tracked so that you have string quartets played by two people; I was lucky to find Ailsa who instinctively played just as I wanted.[Alisa Hughes – Cello] It was wonderful finding all my performers virtually on the doorstep and my recording studio too. Many thanks to Branwen for her infinite patience and invaluable musical judgement.❞
