Nicholas Maw

Nicholas Maw (born 1935) is a British composer.

Maw is best known for his gigantic orchestral piece Odyssey (1987), the guitar work Music of Memory (1989), and a violin concerto (1993) for Joshua Bell. His musical language is often described as 'neo-romantic', and is in the extended tonal vocabulary grounded in the practice of Edward Elgar, Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss.
