the national poet's funeral--held yesterday in the Bute Hall at the university where he studied and worked--contained humour and solemnity, wisdom and wit, and a myriad voices and sounds, from jazz and Burns to The Beatles and experimental Russian poetry.In the hour-long service, friends and colleagues of Morgan, who died last week aged 90, read several of the Makar's poems, while saxophonist Tommy Smith improvised a jazz lament to Morgan's poem Wolf.
