Williams began playing French horn, piano, and mellophone early on and played in the band at Little Rock High School. His senior class of 600 voted him as most outstanding in artistry, talent, and versatility.
Williams attended Louisiana State University (B.M., 1947) where he was a pupil of Helen M. Gunderson (1909–1997). He also attended the Eastman School of Music (M.M., 1949) where he studied with Bernard Rogers and Howard Hanson. It was Howard Hanson who led Williams to write for the wind band rather than the orchestra, counseling Williams that he would get larger audiences and a larger range of organizations to perform his music in doing so.
Herbert Owen Reed (June 17, 1910 – January 6, 2014) was an American composer, conductor and author.
Education
Reed was raised in rural Odessa, Missouri, where his first exposure to music was his father's playing of the old-timefiddle (accompanied by his mother at the piano). He was also attracted to the popular piano music of the 1920s (such as the novelty piano tunes of Zez Confrey), as well as his family's player piano, which played popular tunes. He studied piano with Odessa's only piano teacher, Mrs. Felts, who attempted to interest him in the music of Bach and Beethoven.

This is a nice march by Clifton Williams. The piccolo solo is especially noticeable :-) This march is unusual because it is in 4/4 time. Performed by the US Air Force Tactical Air Command Band.
