Caneuon Cymru - Songs of Wales
Last updated: 19.04.20
Personal remarks:
I purchased this songbook along with
25 Cân a Charol (25 Songs & Carols) whilst on a brief day-trip to Cardiff in 1999. It is a budget collection of photocopied cheap one-sheet piano scores published by
Regina Music Publishing Co. to be found in Woolworth's for a few pence (I mean really few - 6d being a top price!) decades ago. That means tonic sol-fa and no guitar chords. It has merits however in that the songs are arranged for piano accompaniment and four-part singing. The lyrics are both in Welsh and English, and both in the score. It contains:
- All through the night
- David of the White Rock
- The Exile of Cambria
- New Year's Eve
- Men of Harlech
- The Trumpet Sounding Loudly
- Forth to Battle
- Taliesin's Prophecy
- The Bells of Aberdovey
- Land of my fathers
- The Ash Grove
