  • Dylan Thomas’: a Review of a New CD Set
    June 2005 an extract from “In Tune” The Quarterly Newsletter from the Oxford Welsh Male Voice Choir ‘The Essential Dylan Thomas’: A review of a new CD set. A few weeks ago I met Nicholas Soames of Naxos Audiobooks and we talked about Dylan Thomas. He told me about Naxos’ 4 CD package - NA 434312 of Dylan Thomas’s work and he sent me one as a present. I thought I’d share what I thought of it with the readers of In Tune as you may have more interest than most in Dylan. Four CD’s - almost five hours long, including a recording of “Under Milk Wood”, narrated by Richard Burton, made on January 24th 1954 , only two months after Dylan had died. This takes most of the first two CDs. This recording is as good as it can ever get: I have a copy of it on an LP, but it’s pretty scratchy and hissy. The CDs don’t have these intrusions. Note for the choir: Philip Burton played Eli Jenkins – he was Richard Burton’s adopted father and teacher and they were both very close to Dylan – Eli Jenkins’ prayer has the line ‘ please to keep Thy lovely eye’ – rather than ‘loving eye’ – when did it change to ‘loving’? – and in such a different intonation to the way the OWMVC sing it - if historical veracity is of any interest perhaps we should have a listen to this. It was ‘lovely’ in the screenplay published by JM Dent and in the 1971 Andrew Sinclair film with Richard Burton, Ryan Davies with Angharad Rees as Gossamer Beynon? – when Rosie Probert was played by someone else who was fairly famous (clue: she also starred in some other roles with Richard Burton).

  • Illumination of Music : the Writings of Dylan Thomas
    ILLUMINATION OF MUSIC THE WRITINGS OF DYLAN THOMAS A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in English Literature in the University of Canterbury by D.A. Swindells University of Canterbury 1981 CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE ABSTRACT 1 I INTRODUCTION 2 II WELSHMAN OR POET 4 III IN LOVE WITH WORDS 16 IV DEATHS AND ENTRANCES 31 v THE VOICE OF THOMAS 46 VI UNDER MILK WOOD 65 VII CONCLUSION 87 APPENDIX 89 REFERENCES 90 ABSTRACT 1 In this thesis I examine the importance of music in the writings of Dylan Thomas. Thomas grew up in Wales, and he often suggested that his fascination with the sounds of the English language derived from this Welshness. In this thesis, however, I argue that he was a poet first, a performer second, and a Welshman third. Thomas fell in love with the sounds of words from an early age. His ear for the English language lies at the heart of everything that he wrote. Thomas's early poetry makes considerable use of bold, aggressive sounds. By Death~ and Entrances, however, he is able to use and explore the many subtleties and nuances of language as a musical medium. When Thomas reads his own work, these musical qualities are amplified and fully projected. Under Milk Wood, his play for voices, is probably the best example of Thomas's ability to create pictures, and evoke feelings, through sound. By the end of his life, his writings had indeed become an illumination of music. In this thesis, I set out to show exactly how this came about, and to explore the relationship between Thomas's writing and music.

  • Introduction to the Raker by Andrew Sinclair for Valancourt Books
    Introduction to The Raker by Andrew Sinclair for Valancourt Books. Introduction Andrew Sinclair is a genuine man of letters, of a type that is increasingly rare these days. His privileged background (Eton and Cambridge) led to a varied career encompassing film-making (he directed Peter O’Toole, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in the classic film of Dylan Thomas’s Under Milk Wood) , biographies, social histories, and an impressively diverse series of novels. He did his National Service as an Ensign in the Coldstream Guards from 1953-55, an experience that provided him with the material for his darkly comic novel, The Breaking of Bumbo, which featured the first in a long line of misfit male protagonists in his work. In his later fiction, Sinclair increasingly turned to the myth and legend, most notably in the three linked novels Gog (1967), Magog (1972) and King Ludd (1988), collectively known as ‘The Albion Triptych.’ A Fellow in American Studies of five universities, Cambridge and Harvard, Columbia and Stanford and University College London, he has produced major accounts of Jack London and John Ford and even Che Guevara. His work frequently blurs the lines between fact, fiction, and analysis, perhaps most spectacularly in The Facts in the Case of E.A. Poe (1979). The Raker is Sinclair’s fifth novel, and offers on one level a realistic account of the life of Adam Quince, newspaper obituarist at an unnamed London daily, but on another, a phantasmagoric, gothic vision of a city of death, inhabited not just by those caught up in the drudgery of modern urban life, but by the ghosts of their predecessors.
