-I'm taking you back -450 years to 1567... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:14 | |
-..when the Book of Common Prayer -was first published in Welsh... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-..along with the New Testament... | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-..which was mostly translated -by William Salesbury. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-Mostly? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:26 | |
-Mostly? - -Yes, as he worked alongside... | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
-..Bishop Richard Davies, -Bishop of St David's... | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-..who contributed some of -the translated pastoral epistles... | 0:03:33 | 0:03:37 | |
-..for the New Testament. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-But it is Salesbury's stamp -that we see... | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-..on the Testament -and prayer book... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-..along with his unique Welsh. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
-Llansannan Welsh. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
-Llansannan Welsh. - -A particular area of Llansannan... | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-..from where -Salesbury himself hailed. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-Salesbury's Welsh was unique. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
-He wanted to incorporate -Latin elements into his Welsh. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:01 | |
-Elements that were unfamiliar -to the majority of Welsh people. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
-By all accounts, his testament -wasn't very popular because of it. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
-Perhaps this is why -it was later replaced... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
-..by William Morgan's translation. | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
-Maredudd has already talked about -William Salesbury's New Testament. | 0:06:29 | 0:06:33 | |
-What do you have for us? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:35 | |
-What do you have for us? - -I have personal songbooks here... | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
-..dating back -to the 18th and 19th centuries. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-At the beginning -of the 19th century... | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-..musical people copied tunes. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
-They didn't rely on printed books -since very few were available. | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
-They copied tunes -in their own handwriting... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-..and kept these little books... | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
-..and used them when they wanted -to lead the singing... | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
-..or to simply share with others. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-Sometimes they kept them -for their own interest. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
-During that era, -only three voices were used. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
-Bass... | 0:07:12 | 0:07:13 | |
-..descant, which the females sung... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-..and the melody was sung -by the males in a tenor voice. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
-There are three voices here and -the melody we're familiar with... | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
-..is in the middle line. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:28 | |
-Next is a performance -by sisters Beca and Cadi Williams... | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-..who are familiar faces -on the Eisteddfod stage. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:36 | |

-..had a profound influence on -the singing tradition in the 19thC. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |

-..and learn new tunes -in a more formal way... | 0:13:54 | 0:13:59 | |
-..and less ornate -than the traditions of the past. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:03 | |
-When he published -the Book of Congregational Tunes... | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |

-..of singing in four voices... | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
-..and singing -very simple Cynghanedd. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |

-..many of these tunes have -established themselves in Wales. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
-Tunes from every tradition. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
