Matthew William Davies (August 1882 – 23 November 1947) was a Welsh musician. His parents were Richard and Catherine Davies of Neath, Glamorganshire. When he was 20 he won a scholarship of £40 a year (for three years) to study at University College, Cardiff. He graduated in 1905 with a Mus. Bac., and a B.A. in 1906. He then studied for a further year, in London, before settling back in the Neath area, where he earned his living as a music teacher and was appointed organist and choirmaster of Bethlehem Green Calvinistic Methodist Church. He was also in demand as a conductor, and adjudicator at singing festivals. His compositions include many anthems, part-songs, and hymn-tunes for children and congregational singing, such as the hymn-tune ‘Bethlehem Green’ (written for Y Caniedydd Cynulleidfaol Newydd, 1921). He died in November 1947 and was buried in Llantwit-juxta-Neath cemetery.[1] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Matthew William Davies|url=https://biography.wales/article/s2-DAVI-WIL-1882|website=Dictionary of Welsh Biography|publisher=National Library of Wales|last=Williams|first=Griffith John|accessdate= 25 July 2017}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Davies, Matthew William}}{{wales-bio-stub}}{{reli-bio-stub}} 5 : 1863 births|1951 deaths|Welsh educators|Welsh male musicians|People from Neath |
