Why she couldn't have sorted out her sheets beforehand is a mystery, as is the background noise. Not ashamed to say this 17 stone 6 footer was in tears, last time I heard this was when my late father sang it to me as a kid. Bloody lovely
I’ve recently come across this song and as a young 22 year old that has been in male voice choirs I’m almost brought to tear buy the beauty of this song. Keep going chaps massive respect to you all
I wish we were taught this in school (Swansea) instead of some of the usual tripe. This is 'proper' Welsh performing with descants etc. - as it should be ! It's also worth listening to some traditional Welsh harp music - another beautiful and moving art form.
In 1963 when I was 5 years old my father bought a record player, he also bought 5000 Welsh Voices. This started my love of all kinds of music. Recently I was asked what was my favourite track of all time and I said I didn't have one but after much thought, it isn't anything by Fleetwood Mac, Hendrix, Metallica or The Beatles, it is Calon Lan first heard in Mono in my parents sitting room, as loud as my Dad could get that record player to go in 1963.
I love that story, reminds me of my childhood as I am certain that your first musical memories are important ones. However I am not Welsh and we certainly did not play the National Anthem or Jerusalem at teatime! That is the English for you!
What a version..... from a proud Welshman away from home and listened to this version from hostile lands ...... brings tears to my eyes for fallen Welsh comrades..... 👍
If only ....... served my country in 5 seperate conflicts and only a Welshman will know the value of this hymn. Your username is a clue to your comment ... God is Great
This is such an amazing beautiful different version of Calon Lân.. never heard sung like this before ).. very sweet and lovely at first., then the build up! Listening reminds me so much of my dear old dad singing in Oxford Welsh MVC. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
Am English, moved to Wales joined choir, learnt calon lan, beautiful emotionaly charged, I learnt a lot from the Welsh, am back over the border, such is life.
Response to those criticizing - this was filmed partway through a concert, which is why the conductor had to rearrange her music. Have you neer seen anyone do that before? And there was nothing wrong with the piano accompaniment, it was exactly as it should be, pleasantly unobtrusive but enough to hold it all together. Such a shame that people seem to have a need to make silly and rude remarks on this website. If you want to complain, then show us that you can do better. I can wait!
This choir is brilliant. All that is wrong with this youtube is that it is an amateur camara production. Four cameras and the power of either BBC or ITV and you have something world-class.
The recording isn’t the best but this might still be my favourite version of this I can find on RUclips. The into gets me. How soft and gentle, as if comforting a babe and then how strong it finishes. Absolutely beautiful. Diolch yn fawr, pawb. 🍻 🤍❤️💚 🏴
lovely singing most of my freinds are from dowlais that go to pen e dre high school ill ask then about this and yeas she coudlnt stop faffing about with them sheets could she??
Congrats guys, and lady director! Any idiot can bellow.. Pursue the sotto voce, you do it well and it could be your "Point of Difference" A Pleasure to hear B-)
Such beautiful singers, wonderful song, but where on earth did they get that ridiculous woman?? One wonders if she can even read music and the same goes for the accompanist. As a former cathedral chorister my heartfelt sympathy goes to these wonderful, talented choristers.......they deserve much, much better.

Edit: Not all verses are sung here, I'm not a Welsh speaker, but it is my native language and everyday I strive towards learning what my family has lost. I posted these lyrics so I could sing along. Hope it helps towards anyone who is learning the language.
A lovely hymn, well sung, but very unprofessional of the conductor at the beginning. She should be far better prepared than that. I certainly detracted from the fine performance.
Beautiful song. We carried my 101 year old Grans coffin into her funeral to this year. Amazing. Rest in peace Gran.
This is the sound of my culture. This is the sound of my youth. This is the sound of my civilization.
it's beautiful!
Amen, Amen & Amen.
❤me too
Awesome my late dad loved this hymn and was played at his funeral last year he was born in Merthyr too ,🏴
Why she couldn't have sorted out her sheets beforehand is a mystery, as is the background noise.
Not ashamed to say this 17 stone 6 footer was in tears, last time I heard this was when my late father sang it to me as a kid. Bloody lovely
Brings tears to my eyes and I'm French (but with a few Welsh connections).
Do you hear the people sing
@@richardharland2483 singing a song of happy men
No need for a revolution in Wales.

That record is a marvel. 5000 voices singing the language of Heaven, True Enough.
Great song and great choir ! Greetings from France .
What a version..... from a proud Welshman away from home and listened to this version from hostile lands ...... brings tears to my eyes for fallen Welsh comrades..... 👍
milwyr Thank you for your service
plot twist: he's only in London
If only ....... served my country in 5 seperate conflicts and only a Welshman will know the value of this hymn. Your username is a clue to your comment ... God is Great
No sir, I was making a joke, as is my name. Nothing greater than Wales.
Diolch yn fawr, sir.
If only I was based in London..... love the banter though Cymru Am Byth 👍
This is such an amazing beautiful different version of Calon Lân.. never heard sung like this before ).. very sweet and lovely at first., then the build up! Listening reminds me so much of my dear old dad singing in Oxford Welsh MVC. Thank you so much 🥰🥰🥰
That’s what I love about this version too.
My great grandad Morgan Phillips was a member of the treorchy male voice choir 🥺🥺 he was born in 1901, so amazing that it’s still going ❤️❤️
Am English, moved to Wales joined choir, learnt calon lan, beautiful emotionaly charged, I learnt a lot from the Welsh, am back over the border, such is life.
Gives me goose bumps every time. I love Welsh male voice choirs and this song in particular.
Those low notes omg. Absolutley stunning gents, chwarae teg 🏴❤
Suggestion: start the video at the 30 second mark. Saves half a minute of silence while the conductor fiddles with the sheet music.
This wonderful version of Calon Lan speaks to my very heart.

Thanks and praise indeed, from an English man !!
Lovely Thank you boys. Weeping now.
makes me miss home
What a lovely bunch of blokes these are , used to come and sing xmas carols when I worked at Stephen & George
This choir is brilliant. All that is wrong with this youtube is that it is an amateur camara production. Four cameras and the power of either BBC or ITV and you have something world-class.
I lived in Wales for 19 years and I miss not being there anymore even my home country of Scotland doesn’t come close 🏴
We sang this at my Dad's passing at the chapel in Dowlais
The recording isn’t the best but this might still be my favourite version of this I can find on RUclips.
The into gets me. How soft and gentle, as if comforting a babe and then how strong it finishes. Absolutely beautiful.
Diolch yn fawr, pawb.
🍻 🤍❤️💚 🏴
This stirs the heart of any Welsh man or woman makes the soul sing and proud to be Welsh
Cut to 0:30 when the conductor stops faffing with music.
Diolch
That was in my school I was in the choir and sang along side them
Faith evans pen-y-dre? Looks like it is.
Beautiful song tnx to this year's world cup i discovered this gem.
Oh my Lord! Awesome! Incredible sound and harmony!!

So proud to be welsh 🏴 💪
I might be an Ynysowen boy, but I respect the Dowlais people
To my dad love him loafd
Who are the ones that hate this this is a beautiful song
Sound quality is not the best, but it doesn't matter when you have proud welsh singers like that!
Watching this 2017 is this in pen y dre
Great harmonies. Would have preferred a slightly higher tempo. Also, cut the video a little bit at the start.
Wow! Awesome!

Congrats guys, and lady director!
Any idiot can bellow.. Pursue the sotto voce, you do it well and it could be your "Point of Difference"
A Pleasure to hear B-)
3:24 long but skip to 0:40 to avoid the distracting fussing around
🏴 ❤🏴❤️🏴
Bendigedig!
Ave maria
Come on woman get on with it
Such beautiful singers, wonderful song, but where on earth did they get that ridiculous woman?? One wonders if she can even read music and the same goes for the accompanist.
As a former cathedral chorister my heartfelt sympathy goes to these wonderful, talented choristers.......they deserve much, much better.
wrong venue needs a proper hall, and better musical back ground but choir great...

ydy chi gyda unrhew beth ar cd
this conductress was not prepared as she should be
If Welsh choirs are any good why do they have to have plink plonk Muzak?
Bloody woman with papers turned off
A lovely hymn, well sung, but very unprofessional of the conductor at the beginning. She should be far better prepared than that. I certainly detracted from the fine performance.
Great song but I hate piano/organ accompaniment with male voices. The whole idea of male voice singing is to hear the harmonies not the blo*dy piano.
