Ymlaen â'r Gân

Following on the success of Ysgol Glanaethwy’s O Fortuna album, we are proud to release our latest recordings, one by the Senior Choir and Da Capo, and this current one by the Junior Choir. Our TV series Glanaethwy proved to be so popular that we decided to release two separate albums, as we had so many songs in the locker. There are over 120 lively young choristers in the Junior Choir, with their ages ranging from 8 to 14 years. It’s been a very busy period recently, with the choir going from strength to strength, both on the concert and competition stage. Having won awards in several music festivals such as the National and Llangollen Eisteddfod, the North Wales Music Festival, Music for Youth and S4C’s Côr Cymru competition, the choir delights in facing new musical challenges. Following the success in Music for Youth, we were invited to perform in the Schools Proms at London’s Albert Hall, an experience we thoroughly enjoyed. Included on this CD are the choir’s particular favourites, and the song With my voice was composed specially for the choir by Einion Dafydd and Cefin Roberts. Rhian Roberts
