Towards the late 60s Wales saw a flurry of enthusiasm and vibrance on the Welsh pop scene but what was most surprising was the emergence of so many new groups – and those being predominantly female groups – adding their own unique sound to popular, contemporary songs. Some of the artists on this album are still singing, recording and performing, others have moved on and sadly some are no longer with us, but what we do have is an album that once again brings songs and artists from that prolific musical decade in Wales back into the limelight so that a new generation can listen and enjoy the original recordings on CD.

Since 1983, Robin Huw Bowen has introduced the Welsh Triple Harp and its music to thousands all over the world. As the only full-time professional Welsh harpist specializing solely in the Welsh Triple Harp, his influence on the world of Welsh folk music and harping has been far-reaching. He undoubtedly ranks among the most important figures that the Welsh folk tradition has produced and Sain Records are proud to release his latest album, the language of the soul, his fourth recording for the label. ‘You shouldn’t learn the new and forget the old’ said Nansi Richards, Telynores Maldwyn (the renowned Montgomeryshire harpist) back in 1965, and Robin follows her wise guidance with his new album – the language of the soul. The album title, Iaith Enaid – which translates to language of the soul, comes from the old saying ‘iaith enaid ar ei thannau’ which literally means the language of the soul on the harp strings, and has become a moto for those who have been protecting and promoting the triple harp in Wales over the centuries. Nobody does more to protect the triple harp tradition in Wales than Robin, and on his new album he features a mix of the old and new. Some of the tunes (The South Pembrokeshire Hunt \u0026amp; The Sunshine Waltz) are composed by Robin himself, and inspired by his numerous tours abroad, and other various experiences such as his time working with Y Glerorfa here in Wales. Other tracks are arrangements of Welsh traditional tunes by Robin Huw Bowen specifically for the tripe harp. Robin also has a great interest in the music of the Welsh gypsy harpists, and the track ‘New Gypsy Hornpipes’ is in keeping with the unique style of those harpists, the Roberts and Wood families. Although Robin enjoys traveling the world as an ambassador for the triple harp, returning home to Wales gives him great pleasure ‘Being on tour with my harp is wonderful, but very often after several weeks away, the best bit is when my car finally turns westwards once again, across Darkest England and over the border, particularly when I hit Eisteddfa Gurig, and it’s downhill all the way.. to one’s own place, one’s own armchair, and one’s own tv remote… ah, Yes!

Its origins date back to the earliest centuries, when the harper would declaim his poetry to his own accompaniment, in praise of his chief or prince. In Wales there has always been a special relationship between music and poetry: there are many references to singing poetry to the accompaniment of the harp in Welsh manuscripts from the middle ages onwards, and this tradition continues to this day. Three different elements come together in cerdd dant: the chosen harp melody, which can be traditional or newly composed; the poetry being sung, which can be strict metre poetry (based on the age old cynghanedd, where alliteration and rhyme play an integral part), free poetry, or, more recently, prose; and, thirdly, the counter-melody on which the words are sung. There are many rules and regulations as to how the words should be set to the music, but basically the harp melody and the singer’s melody should be in counterpoint, and the main accents of the poetry should fall on the main accents of the music. The words are always given the greatest priority and the mood of the poetry must be reflected in the chosen harp melody and also in the singer’s counter-melody and style of singing. In days gone by many cerdd dant singers would accompany their own singing, and here on this album most of the pieces are performed self-accompanied. As with many Welsh singers, cerdd dant has been an integral part of my upbringing. Personally I consider myself to have been very fortunate to have received a grounding in this art from two of the most prominent advocates of this tradition, namely Nan Elis and Alwena Roberts. By now, cerdd dant seems to be an integral part of me, and if I were ever to be far from home in some distant land, then it would be the sound of cerdd dant more than anything else which would be certain to bring on a serious bout of hiraeth (longing)! There are many different styles of cerdd dant singing, depending on the words which are sung. Some of the tracks on this album take a look back at the more folk orientated cerdd dant tradition of years ago and include some poetic measures which are rarely sung today. Other tracks are more experimental and are based on cerdd dant but include some contemporary features and variations in form and structure. Cerdd dant is still very much a living and popular tradition in Wales today, and is constantly evolving. A hugely successful cerdd dant festival is held in Wales every year and new generations continue to set and sing words to music in this unique way. \u003cbr\u003eGwenan Gibbard, 2013\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNei di ganu ‘nghân (‘Maes Ffynnon’)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoson aflawen (‘Maentwrog’)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePen draw Llŷn ‘(Codiad yr ehedydd’)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalon drom (‘Difyrrwch Iorwerth ab Ifan’)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA glywi di?

There is hardly a choir in Wales which does not have at least one Robat Arwyn song in its repertoire, and the strength of his appeal is evident in that soloists in many genres also revel in his songs. His compositions have a broad appeal, to all ages and tastes, and he has that rare ability to create a melody which has instant appeal, and stays in the memory. This compilation brings together 19 recordings of choirs and soloists and ensembles as a celebration of the art of Robat Arwyn, including ‘Benedictus’ which was a hit for The Priests, and ‘Anfonaf Angel’, the haunting song which will now always be linked to the Wales Air Ambulance service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrenin y Sêr (BRYN TERFEL \u0026amp; CÔR RHUTHUN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYfory (EIRLYS PARRY)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePedair Oed (RHYS MEIRION \u0026amp; CÔR RHUTHUN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDy Garu o Bell (GERALLT JONES, CWMNI THEATR MEIRION)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFel Un (TRISGELL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDagrau’r Glaw (RHIAN MAIR LEWIS)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDal Fi (CÔR RHUTHUN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSêr y Nadolig (FFLUR WYN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYmlaen a’r Gân (CÔR IAU GLANAETHWY)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenedictus (BRYN TERFEL \u0026amp; RHYS MEIRION)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLlanelidan (TRISGELL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCerdded Hyd y Llethrau (LLEISIAU MIGNEDD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHei Ti’n Cwl (GUTO, LLYR AC OSIAN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaeth yr Awr (CWMNI THEATR MEIRION)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAve Maria (Maddau i Mi) (3 TENOR CYMRU)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGwin Beaujolais (TRISGELL)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSychwn Ddagrau (CÔR AELWYD LLANGWM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSefwch yn Llonydd (CWMNI THEATR MEIRION)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnfonaf Angel (ALED MYRDDIN, CÔR GORE GLAS \u0026amp; CÔR AELWYD BRO DDYFI)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988144062758,"sku":"SCD2669","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/products\/scd2669m.jpg?v=1668674094"},{"product_id":"elen-hydref","title":"Elen Hydref","description":"\u003cp\u003eElen was born in 1987 and brought up in Porthmadog, North Wales.

Her debut album, ‘Y Gwenith Gwynnaf’, released in 2006 (SAIN SCD 2504), heralded a significant new talent in the world of Welsh Folk music, and this second album will certainly consolidate her reputation. ‘Sidan Glas’ (blue silk) displays the whole range of her talents, as harpist and singer, as composer and arranger. It is an exciting collection of new, contemporary arrangements of Welsh traditional music and songs, the playing firmly rooted in the heart of the tradition, yet showing a fresh and innovative approach. Rhythmic and vibrant dance tunes and both lively and hauntingly beautiful folk songs combine to create a perfect showcase of Welsh traditional music at its best. Joining Gwenan are several renowned instrumentalists – the guitarist Maartin Allcock (Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, Bad Sheperds), fiddlers Stephen Rees (Crasdant) and Angharad Jenkins (Calan), flautist Dafydd Roberts (Ar Log) and percussionists Dewi Ellis Jones and Asian music scene phenomenon Kuljit Bhamra (Bend it like Beckham, Bombay Dreams), together creating a colourful tapestry of diverse musical influences whilst yet remaining true to the Welsh folk music tradition, giving prominence to the harp and voice. Gwenan’s strength as an artist lies in the fact that she comes from the heart of the Welsh tradition and is well versed in all its aspects, both as a musician and as a musicologist in her own right, familiar with the history and background of the songs and tunes. She sings and plays therefore in complete sympathy with the tradition, but is always looking for new ways to develop and interpret it, as this album shows, with great style. She has immersed herself in the thriving folk music scene of contemporary Wales, performing extensively in Wales and beyond, at festivals such as The Edinburgh Harp Festival, The Caernarfon International Harp Festival, Celtic Colours (Nova Scotia, Canada), North American Festival of Wales, Lorient Inter-Celtic Festival (Brittany), World Harp Congress (Dublin) and Celtic Connections (Glasgow). She is a regular accompanist at various Eisteddfodau, a member of Y Glerorfa (the new Welsh folk orchestra) and is an exponent of the uniquely Welsh art of Cerdd Dant (singing poetry to harp accompaniment). She brings all this experience, and all these musical influences to bear on this album, as genuine and as enjoyable a piece of Welsh folk culture as you will ever hear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYr Aelwyd yn yr Hafod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePibddawns Rhif Un\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTros y môr\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLliw gwyn rhosyn yr haf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHufen y cwrw melyn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrafeiliais y byd\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY Polaca Cymreig\/Dafydd Ifan Tomos\/Ymdaith yr yswain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGwenno tir mawn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYr Hafren\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYmdaith Gwyr Machynlleth\/Jig pen Tennyn\/Sponc bogel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY sgwner tri mast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHen benillion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCân lleisoniaid\/Cân y droell bach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCwicstep Cwm Bach\/Y bwced\/Cadw twmpath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaid â deud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Gwenan Gibbard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988274741542,"sku":"SCD2581","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/products\/scd2581m.jpg?v=1668675548"},{"product_id":"the-welsh-gold-collection-heartstrings","title":"The Welsh Gold Collection - Heartstrings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe harp is the national instrument of Wales, and its popularity is growing. Traditionally, the small Celtic version was the one most used by travelling minstrels and poets, and the form uniquely associated with Wales is the one with three rows of strings, Y Delyn Deires (The Triple Harp). During the last century, the larger “classical” harp took centre stage, with the growth of formal music education.

Over the years Hoddinott has also written for a number of our finest harpists – Osian Ellis, Elinor Bennett, Ieuan Jones and Manon Morris.

Folk music traditions in Wales during the last three centuries were more often than not the target for the venom of the religious revivalists and reformers. They deemed dancing sinful, and all music profane, unless it was respectable and praised the Almighty. Needless to say, this led to a great decline in Welsh traditional music, and indeed even to the death of several aspects of folk culture in Wales. However, the tradition was lucky enough to have many folk musicians who collected and wrote down many tunes which would otherwise have been lost to today’s generation of music lovers. Crasdant have given a number of these traditional Welsh folk tunes a new life and an opportunity to be enjoyed by audiences worldwide. The album also includes a DVD containing 3 tracks from the album in surround sound format along with a video of the track ‘Pibddawns Trefynwy \/ Monmouth Hornpipe’ with Huw Williams (the Crasdant member responsible for the guitar playing and good humour!) clog dancing to the accompaniment of the band. Maartin Allcock, renowned multi-instrumentalist and producer known for his performances with Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, Mike Harding and more, produced and guest appeared on the album (you’ll see him on the DVD playing the acoustic bass guitar!).

Two recurring themes are romance and the battle for Welsh independence, and there are also a lullaby and children’s songs such as “Hen fenyw fach Cydweli” (“The old woman of Kidwelly”). 24 traditional songs in all, – arranged for Male Choirs in four-part harmony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeryn y bwn o’r Banna (Dowlais)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBugeilio’r gwenith gwyn (1000 o leisiau)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTair alaw Gymreig (Caernarfon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eY pren ar y bryn (Pontarddulais)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTros y garreg (Brythoniaid)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFantasia (Dyfnant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSi hei lwli mabi (Ardudwy)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFfarwel i ddociau Lerpwl (Llanelli)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDacw ’nghariad (Pendyrus)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGwn Dafydd Ifan (Twm o’r Nant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLisa lân (Porth Tywyn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHen ferchetan (Penrhyn)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAr lan y môr (Godre’r Aran)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCadwyn o alawon (Rhos)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitrwm tatrwm (Trelawnyd)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHen fenyw fach Cydweli (Dyffryn Tywi)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCyfri’r geifr (Corau Unedig)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Various Artists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988432060710,"sku":"SCD2235","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/products\/scd2235m.jpg?v=1668676628"},{"product_id":"yn-dathlu-deg","title":"Yn Dathlu Deg","description":"\u003cp\u003eAccompaniment: Annette Bryn Parri Elen Wyn Jones Dylan Cernyw Einion Dafydd Soloists: Bethan Hughes Mirain Haf Sara Lianne Owen Dylan Eurig Gwenllian Sion Lisa Jên Brown Elliw Mai\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glanaethwy School Choir","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43988436680998,"sku":"SCD2234","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/products\/scd2234m.jpg?v=1668676644"},{"product_id":"caneuon-john-thomas-pencerdd-gwalia","title":"Caneuon John Thomas, Pencerdd Gwalia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe complete collection of Welsh Melodies for the harp by John Thomas, Pencerdd Gwalia (1826-1913).

Their vast and extremely important archive are now part of the Welsh Music Archive at The National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth. While exploring their collection I came across many unpublished and unknown songs collected by various singers, musicians and collectors from Llŷn and Eifionydd, such as R H Evans, Shân Emlyn, Daniel Evans and Robert Jones ‘Dwyfor’, and others such as Caradog Pugh from Montgomeryshire.

R H Evans was a musician and an academic. Having been Professor of Agriculture at the University of Reading, in 1913 he became the first Principal of Madryn Agricultural College in Llŷn. He collected many songs from communities in Llŷn and Eifionydd, including ‘Meibion a Merched’ (Lads and Lasses) a song of deceit and betrayal, popular with the stable-loft farm-hands and the love song ‘Dacw Long’ (There’s a Ship). Robert Jones ‘Dwyfor’ spent most of his working life as a tailor in London. While home on holiday in Eifionydd he sang many of the songs he learnt from his father to J Lloyd Williams. These songs are part of J Lloyd Williams’ archive at The National Library, Aberystwyth and one of them is ‘Y Morwr Mwyn’ (The Gentle Sailor), a sad song about a sailor who’s achievements and bravery are now long forgotten without a headstone or a memorial of any kind to mark his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003e‘Sgert Gwta Nain’ (Nain’s Short Skirt) is a humorous ballad giving a vivid picture of someone’s quite adventurous ‘nain’ (grandma), found in Meredydd Evans and Phyllis Kinney’s archive, while ‘Y Gwcw Ryfel’ (The War Cuckoo) is also a ballad by an unknown author, from Caradog Pugh’s collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003eThe remaining songs on the album come from the collections of two notable characters - Gwilym y Rhos (William Jones 1851–1925) and Thomas Rowlands (1905–1986). Gwilym y Rhos was a cobbler from the small village of Rhoshirwaen at the tip of the Llŷn Peninsula. He was also a poet and part of a society of poets who regularly convened at his workshop to discuss and to share their work. Their poetry would also, quite often, be sung to popular tunes of the day. Gwilym y Rhos was a keen collector of many things, including songs and ballads.

Fortunately, later on in life, he noted these local songs and verses that he learnt through the oral tradition. ‘Anni Bach Rwy’n Mynd i Ffwrdd’ (Dear Anni I’m Going Away) a sad farewell song, and ‘Ffarwel i Bencaenewydd’ (Farewell to Pencaenewydd) a sailor’s farewell song, are two of the popular songs he learnt in the stable-loft at Neigwl Ganol farm on the Llŷn Peninsula. Another which only recently came to light is the light-hearted ballad ‘Y Drydedd Waith yw’r Goel’ (Third Time Lucky), written by Thomas Rowlands’ uncle, Daniel. ‘Rhigymau’ (Rhymes) were again noted by Thomas Rowlands and are throw away, humorous rhymes and verses which he remembered as a young man in Llŷn.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The album was co-produced by Aled Wyn Hughes and Gwenan Gibbard and with musical contributions by Gwilym Bowen Rhys (Guitar, Bouzouki and Mandolin), Patrick Rimes (Fiddle and Viola) and Aled Wyn Hughes (Bass), Hen Ganeuon Newydd is a contemporary celebration of the stories of the past - a true representation of a nearly forgotten culture. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cover Artwork: ‘Pwllheli Erstalwm’, Malcolm Gwyon\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (With thanks to the National Library of Wales and Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol for the financial support to the research work, and thank you also to Bangor University)    \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003e1.Meibion a Merched\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.Ffarwel i Bencaenewydd\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3.Y drydedd waith yw'r goel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4.Y gwcw fach lwydlas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5.Dacw long\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6.Sgert gwta Nain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7.Cariad y garddwr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003e8.Trafnidiaeth yn Llŷn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e9.Y morwr mwyn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e10.Y gwcw ryfel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e11.Rhigymau \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-style=\"margin: 0cm;\"\u003e12.Anni bach rwy'n mynd i ffwrdd                 \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gwenan Gibbard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45361604919590,"sku":"SCD2850","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/files\/scd2850m.jpg?v=1687945071"},{"product_id":"maer-tonnaun-tynnu-welsh-shanties-and-sea-songs","title":"Welsh Shanties and sea songs","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA new, multi-artist album with tracks by some of Wales’ foremost folk performers: Gwilym Bowen Rhys, Lleucu Gwawr, Côr Meibion Carnguwch, Meinir Gwilym \u0026amp; Gwenan Gibbard, Iwan Huws, Einir Humphreys, Elidyr Glyn, Gethin Griffiths, Côr yr Heli, Cynefin, Dewi ‘Pws’ Morris, Lowri Evans, Twm Morys \u0026amp; Gwyneth Glyn, Hogia Llanbobman and Mair Tomos Ifans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe shanties are an integral part of our musical heritage here in Wales. Scholar, poet and songwriter J Glyn Davies is credited with collecting and preserving these songs and for creating and popularising a body of sea songs and shanties representing the Welsh sailors’ life at sea. Many of the songs in his collections, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCerddi Huw Puw\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCerddi Portinllaen\u003c\/em\u003e, were melodies he heard from Caernarfonshire sailors and at the Welsh Harp tavern in Liverpool at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. He also composed many of the songs in his collections and succeeded in portraying a vivid picture of the old Welsh way of life along the coast of the Llŷn Peninsula in north west Wales, an area as noted by J Glyn Davies “permeated with sea life.” Historically, shanties are rare in the Welsh tradition but there are plenty of ballads and many sea songs which date back to the 19th century and earlier. Today, J Glyn Davies’ renowned collections form the body of what we regard today as our traditional sea songs and shanties and these songs are still alive and thriving on the tongues of the people. Originally used as work songs on board ships of all shapes and sizes, travelling to all corners of the globe, the shanties soon made their way to be part of the tradition of the land and became fashionable favourites. As you will hear on this album, the beautiful, sometimes rugged coastline of Wales is enriched with stories and songs of the sea, from the north to the south, and many of the old favourites here sit side by side with newly composed songs in the traditional mode.

I have left the Welsh traditional tunes without metronome marks, as i feel it is up to the player to interpret the music as they like.  The beauty of traditional music is that it is being continually re-interpreted.  The following arrangements are my interpretations, and players can either play them as written or, if they prefer, use them as a springboard for their own interpretations. I play the Celtic harp, and that is my chosen instrument, but these arrangements could equally well be played on the pedal or triple harp, and also on the piano \u003cbr\u003eor keyboard (although in this case the fingerings would have to be totally ignored).\u003cbr\u003eMy very sincere thanks to Gwenan Gibbard for all her hard work editing this collection.\u003cbr\u003eDelyth Jenkins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface  \u003cbr\u003eNotes on the tunes \u003cbr\u003eBourée i\u003cbr\u003eBourée ii \u003cbr\u003eLand of Lost Content \u003cbr\u003eGlân Meddwdod Mwyn  \u003cbr\u003eMôn \u003cbr\u003eyr Hen Dôn\u003cbr\u003ey Corgi Bach  \u003cbr\u003ey Bardd  \u003cbr\u003eMother’s Delight  \u003cbr\u003eCastle Hill\u003cbr\u003enyth y Gog \u003cbr\u003eDifyrrwch Gwyˆr Llangrallo \u003cbr\u003eDiferiad y Gerwyn \u003cbr\u003eWalts Trefforest \u003cbr\u003eian ruairidh’s Lament \u003cbr\u003eDiscography \u003cbr\u003ePublications\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delyth Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56624367501687,"sku":"CS010 (Lawrlwytho)","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/4500\/5350\/files\/cs010m.jpg?v=1769607066"},{"product_id":"yn-dy-gwmni-di-unsain-deulais-bedwar-llais-digital-sheet-music-download-pdf","title":"Yn dy gwmni di (unsain, deulais \/ bedwar llais)~ Digital Sheet Music Download (PDF)","description":"\u003cp\u003eComisiynwyd Yn dy gwmni di yn 2008 gan Ysgol Dyffryn Nantlle - yr ysgol a roddodd i mi addysg gerddorol o’r radd flaenaf, ynghyd â ’mhrofiadau cynhara’ fel cyfansoddwr yn ystod y saithdegau. Braint oedd cael ymateb i’r comisiwn gyda’r casgliad hwn o ganeuon.
