Ralph Vaughan Williams encouraged many female composers at the Royal College in London in the 1930s - Elizabeth Maconchy, Imogen Holst, Elisabeth Lutyens, Dorothy Gow - and Welsh composer Grace Williams.

He never imposed a style on his pupils, and all these people wrote highly original compositions. Carillons is one such, and is coming soon as a video and for streaming, superbly played by Sarah Roper.

Wishing Thea Musgrave a very Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the amazing music you are gifting us ❤
