Deeply missed. As is David Bullard. Heartened to hear some of her works beautifully performed by the Musicians of Ma'alwyck and others on January 27, 2024 at the Old Saratoga Reformed Church in Schuylerville NY, and touched that one of their beautiful stained glass windows may have been donated by an ancestor of David.

Hilary was my composition teacher at Bard and was a great friend besides. I could not have hoped for a better teacher. She was a wonderful person all around.

I had the good fortune to meet Hillary last may, as BlueWater Chamber Orchestra performed "With the Heather and Small BIrds. She loved music, life, and Wales. She will be missed.

Offering my heartfelt condolences to the whole family and deepest gratitude for a long musical friendship and cherished times with Hilary .

I'm so sorry to learn of Hilary's death. Melodia Women's Choir performed her "Wellspring" and "Contemplations" a few years back, and were honored by her presence. My condolences to her family. ~Cynthia Powell, Artistic Director, Melodia Women's Choir, Organist/Choir Director, Welsh Congregation of New York City
