目錄
生活
早年
佛漢·威廉斯出生於格洛斯特郡的下安普尼,而其父亞瑟·佛漢·威廉斯則是一名副主教。父親逝世後,他在1875年被其母親在手动语言转换规则中检测到错误·蘇珊·威奇伍德(Margaret Susan Wedgwood,1843–1937,陶瓷家約書亞·威奇伍德之曾孫女)照顧,並於其位於市北處的利斯山地方的家庭同住。達爾文為威廉斯的伯叔,兩者間頗有關係。 雷夫(英語作Rayf[1])於是被稱作尊貴而聰明的中上階級,但他沒有視以為自然,仍努力不懈為其相信的民主和自由觀念奮鬥。[2]
作為一個學生,他學習鋼琴,「但我永不懂彈奏,而小提琴則是我音樂的拯救」。中學畢業之後,進入皇家音樂學院,然後進入劍橋三一學院學習音樂史,後又回到皇家音樂學院學習作曲。
1909年赴巴黎,就教於拉威爾,為拉威爾唯一的門徒。
他的音樂創作成就很晚,直到30歲他的一首名叫《Linden Lea》歌曲才成為他的第一個發表作品。他把很多精力用於收集民歌。
