    Beautiful song. We carried my 101 year old Grans coffin into her funeral to this year. Amazing. Rest in peace Gran.

    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 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!

  • @MsGrandunion
    @MsGrandunion 6 лет назад +3

    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!

    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.
