[generalNote]: Hanes gweinyddol / Braslun bywgraffyddol | Administrative history | Biographical sketch Nodyn | Note Daniel Jenkyn Jones, Welsh composer and conductor, was born in Pembroke, 7 December 1912. He grew up in a musical family; his father, Jenkyn Jones, was a composer and his mother a singer. He was educated at Swansea Grammar School, 1924-31, and at University College, Swansea, 1931-4, where he graduated with first class honours in English Literature. He gained an MA degree in 1939 for a thesis on 'Elizabethan Lyric Poetry and its Relations with Contemporary Music'. In 1935 he entered the Royal Academy of Music where he studied conducting with Sir Henry Wood, composition with Harry Farjeon and the viola and horn. The Mendelssohn Travelling Scholarship for Composition enabled him to live in Rome and Vienna and travel extensively on the continent, 1936-7. During the Second World War he served as a captain in the Intelligence Corps, 1940-6. On demobilization he returned to live in Swansea where he remained for the rest of his life, working full time as a composer. Here he was part of a circle of friends which included Dylan Thomas. In 1951 Daniel Jones won the first prize of the Royal Philharmonic Society with his 'Symphonic Prologue' and in the same year was awarded the degree of Doctor of Music (Wales). He was awarded an Honorary DLitt degree in 1970. In 1954 he won the Italia Prize for his incidental music to Under Milk Wood. He was appointed an OBE in 1968. Daniel Jones died on 23 April 1993.

  • CUL Keller Archive Catalogue
    HANS KELLER ARCHIVE: working copy A1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49 A1/1: Unpublished manuscripts, 1940-49: independent work This section contains all Keller’s unpublished manuscripts dating from the 1940s, apart from those connected with his collaboration with Margaret Phillips (see A1/2 below). With the exception of one pocket diary from 1938, the Archive contains no material prior to his arrival in Britain at the end of that year. After his release from internment in 1941, Keller divided himself between musical and psychoanalytical studies. As a violinist, he gained the LRAM teacher’s diploma in April 1943, and was relatively active as an orchestral and chamber-music player. As a writer, however, his principal concern in the first half of the decade was not music, but psychoanalysis. Although the majority of the musical writings listed below are undated, those which are probably from this earlier period are all concerned with the psychology of music. Similarly, the short stories, poems and aphorisms show their author’s interest in psychology. Keller’s notes and reading-lists from this period indicate an exhaustive study of Freudian literature and, from his correspondence with Margaret Phillips, it appears that he did have thoughts of becoming a professional analyst. At he beginning of 1946, however, there was a decisive change in the focus of his work, when music began to replace psychology as his principal subject. It is possible that his first (accidental) hearing of Britten’s Peter Grimes played an important part in this change, and Britten’s music is the subject of several early articles.

SIDEY, V. C. TUCKER. EDITORIAL. Once more, after the exigencies and rigours of the W.J.E.C., we bring you the Summer edition of the School Magazine. It is encouraging to note that all articles submitted to the Editorial Committee for consideration ■were of a sub­ stantially higher standard than last term. Perhaps this is a forerunner of the spate of contributions which we hope will inundate our successors next year. After a gap of three years a Welsh article is again in­ cluded, which we hope will appeal to an appreciable number of pupils. May we take this opportunity of wishing the Headmaster, Mr. Gian Powell, all the very best in his retirement. W e all hope that he will enjoy many years of health and happiness after a long career in the service of educition. This being our last production may we bid Dynevor and all our friends among staff and pupils, a sad but fond farewell. 1 SCHOOL NOTES. The Summer term commenced on the 6th May and almost immediately the practical and oral examinations for the W.J.E.C. began. Consequently no events of great importance or significance have taken place during the term.

(Under the Direction of Howard Keeley) ABSTRACT Dylan Thomas exhibited a variety of nostalgic influences within his poetry. A careful study of his life will reveal a nostalgia that evolved from adolescent musings upon an ideal past, to a self-destructive urge to return to innocence through death. Thomas incorporates a variety of historical influences within this nostalgia, but his primary influence is ultimately his own tormented past. This study not only focuses on the personal nostalgia of one man, but the variety of ways nostalgia can affect people, history and society as sociological force.
