High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Daniel Jenkyn Jones OBE (7 December 1912 23 April 1993) was a Welsh composer of classical music. Jones was born in Pembroke, Wales. He studied at the University of Wales and the Royal Academy of Music, where his teachers included Sir Henry Wood. A Mendelssohn Travelling Scholarship allowed him to study in Czechoslovakia, France, Holland and Germany, and to develop his skills as a linguist. He later employed these abilities during the Second World War as a cryptographer and decoder of Russian, Romanian and Japanese at Bletchley Park. He enjoyed long friendships with several leading Welsh artists, amongst them Vernon Watkins, Ceri Richards and Grace Williams. However, he is probably best remembered as the friend from childhood of Dylan Thomas, and composed the music for the 1954 radio production of Thomas's Under Milk Wood, as well as editing several collections of Thomas's poetry and prose. Jones' fourth symphony is dedicated to Thomas' memory, and he also wrote a biography of the poet, My Friend Dylan Thomas, in 1977.
