1. _Cantabile alla danza_

Composer Owen Swindale was a man with many and varied gifts. He was first and foremost a musician: he wrote a standard textbook on 16th century polyphony, he composed and played the piano as well as, at various times, the recorder, horn and violin. He taught harmony and counterpoint for over a decade at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama in Glasgow. But he spent the largest part of his life working as a craftsman silversmith on the Isle of Arran, making jewellery with silver and gold and semi-precious stones. He painted, wrote a good deal of excellent poetry and thought continually about the best way for society to be organised. He remained an ardent socialist all his life.

Born 26 January, 1927 in London. Died: 5 June, 2021 in Arran, aged 94.
