- Performance by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland, 1995
Conducted by Andrew Perry
Sir Edward German was born in Whitchurch, Shropshire in 1862 and is perhaps best known as a composer of incidental music for the stage. However, his Welsh Rhapsody, written in 1904 for orchestra, is a fantastic example of his versatility as a musician and composer, and has become arguably his most enduring composition. Listen out for German's use of famous Welsh musical themes, including Men of Harlech.

great composition
A very stirring piece by a very interesting man. The end incorporates the melody from a song called A Nation Once Again written, I believe, by the Irish patriot Thomas Davis.
What a charming set arrangements - enough to make a Welshman proud 🎶
This is lovely and features delicately scored passages and lyrical string writing. Love the brass in the last section! The orchestration sort of reminds me of Rimsky Korsakov, Tchaikovsky, and Elgar. German was a contemporary of Elgar, Delius, and Bantock (among others).
It sounds like Holst to me.
Interessante e ben orchestrata composizione.
Ottimo post.
Muchas gracias. Hermoso!
The orchestration of 'Dafydd y Garreg Wen' (commencing at 8:25) is an absolute joy. What a guy.
Kuulkaa ja ihastukaa, David of the Whit Rock, bardin joutsenlaulu!

Hwyrach nad oedd Edward Garmon [sic] yn ystyried ei hun yn Gymreig ond yn absenoldeb recordiadau gan neb arall o'r cyfnod mae'n rhoi syniad i ni o beth gallasai cyfansoddwyr Cymreig ei ysgrifennu yn y cyfnod.
