生活
早年
佛汉·威廉斯出生于格洛斯特郡的下安普尼,而其父亚瑟·佛汉·威廉斯则是一名副主教。父亲逝世后,他在1875年被其母亲玛格丽特;zh-hk:瑪嘉烈;zh-tw:瑪格麗特·苏珊·威奇伍德(Margaret Susan Wedgwood,1843–1937,陶瓷家约书亚·威奇伍德之曾孙女)照顾,并于其位于市北处的利斯山地方的家庭同住。达尔文为威廉斯的伯叔,两者间颇有关系。 雷夫(英语作Rayf[1])于是被称作尊贵而聪明的中上阶级,但他没有视以为自然,仍努力不懈为其相信的民主和自由观念奋斗。[2]
作为一个学生,他学习钢琴,“但我永不懂弹奏,而小提琴则是我音乐的拯救”。中学毕业之后,进入皇家音乐学院,然后进入剑桥三一学院学习音乐史,后又回到皇家音乐学院学习作曲。
1909年赴巴黎,就教于拉威尔,为拉威尔唯一的门徒。
他的音乐创作成就很晚,直到30岁他的一首名叫《Linden Lea》歌曲才成为他的第一个发表作品。他把很多精力用于收集民歌。
