James Oswald was born in 1710 in the village of Crail in Fife to John Oswald, a town drummer frequently jailed for drunkenness and public swearing, the younger Oswald quickly developed a talent for music. By 1734 he was active as a cellist, dancing master, and composer in Dumferline and Edinburgh. His early works, including a sonata based on Scots tunes, were published under two Italian pseudonyms, “Dothel/Dottel Figlio” and “David Rizzio.” A move to London followed shortly thereafter, where Oswald opened a music shop and became a music publisher in addition to his more creative endeavours.
And what a prolific composer he was. Although many of his works have been lost (or having been published pseudonymously, difficult to verify), his surviving catalogue of works show a composer who had a diverse scope of instrumentation and could compose in the Scottish, Italian, and French styles of the day. There are two sets of divertimenti for the guitar, a rare occurrence in the eighteenth century. Colin’s Kissses, a cycle of twelve songs, also survives, as well as a set of six symphonies. But Oswald also worked on large collections of small works, such as The Caledonian Pocket Companion, a set of twelve books(!) of sonatas for violin or flute, and of course the Airs for the Seasons, a set of ninety-six sonatas for one or two soprano instruments and continuo.
