Hugh Collins Rice has won significant prizes for his compositions, which combine lyricism with a technique influenced by medieval and renaissance procedures. His music is well suited to mixed programming and often involves abstract references to musics of the past. Hugh Collins Rice was born in Oxford in 1962. Much of his early musical experience was gained in brass bands, including five years playing with the National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain. He read music at the university of Oxford followed by an MA (composition and analysis) at Sussex and research at Oxford (M.Litt - Schoenberg's serial music). He has been teaching undergraduates at Oxford for a number of years and is currently college lecturer in music at Oriel College, Oxford.〔http://www.oriel.ox.ac.uk/content/mr-hugh-collins-rice accessed 17/01/2014 1538〕 His music has been performed at many venues across the British Isles and in Europe, including the Royal Festival Hall, the Concertgebouw and the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Performers have included the Hilliard Ensemble, the Britten Sinfonia, Jane Manning, the Swingle Singers, the Coull Quartet and the Holywell Ensemble. Several works have been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and in Europe. Vocal works have set a wide variety of texts from medieval graffiti to St Mark's Gospel and the poems of Geoffrey Hill, Christina Rossetti and Thomas Wyatt. Instrumental music includes the prize winning orchestral pieces Before the End (1989 PA Composition Award) and (Robin's Lament ) (Composers' Guild/MCPS Prize, 1995); the string quartet, I Fiori, was written in association with the (Walton Trust ) and dedicated to Lady Walton after the early stages of its composition were conceived in the spectacular gardens of La Mortella, Walton's home on the island. Writing for more unusual ensembles has been a regular feature of his output, recent examples include Earth and Moon written for the tuba quartet (Tubalate ), and Sequentiae Hildegargenses for the medieval ensemble (Mediva ).〔http://www.mediva.co.uk/index.php/mediva/pure_progs/ accessed 17/01/2014 1548〕 He is currently working on a music theatre project in collaboration with Mediva. == Selected works == * Before the End (1989 PA Composition Award) * (Robin's Lament ) (Composers' Guild/MCPS Prize, 1995) * (I Fiori ) * (St Godric's Dances ) * Earth and Moon (Title track on CD released by Tubalate)〔R.
