Robert Archibald Smith
Robert Archibald Smith (1780–1829) was a Scottish musical composer, known for his collection ''Scotish Minstrel'', which began to appear in 1821.
==Life==
He was the son of Robert Smith, a silk-weaver from East Kilbride who had moved to England, and was born at Reading, Berkshire on 16 November 1780; his mother was Ann Whitcher. He was apprenticed in silk-weaving, joined a church choir in Reading, and played in the band of a volunteer regiment. In 1800 the family moved to Paisley in Renfrewshire where father and son became muslin weavers.
Smith joined a volunteer company, played in its band, and composed its marches and quick-steps. Becoming a teacher of music, he was in 1807 appointed leader of psalmody in Paisley Abbey. Robert Boog, the incumbent of the parish, introduced him to Walter Young, minister of Erskine, Renfrewshire, who helped him on harmony. In 1817 he conducted his first public performance of sacred music in the Abbey.〔
In August 1823 Smith was appointed musical conductor in St. George's Church, Edinburgh, where the minister was Andrew Mitchell Thomson. Employed in teaching, composing, and editing, his health failed, and he died in Edinburgh on 3 January 1829.〔
