-# Fa-la-la, fa-la-la

-# Fa-la-la-la-la #

-This week, S4C is celebrating

-the South Wales Valleys.

-We hear of a musical legend - the

-composer of Myfanwy, Joseph Parry.

-There's also the shortlist

-of the St David Awards.

-It's a very warm welcome to Heno.

-This weekend sees the staging

-of a pantomime in Bala.

-All the tickets

-for the pantomime have been sold...

-..but the Heno cameras joined

-the cast for their final rehearsals.

-Elin can tell us more.

-The rugby clubs of Wales meet

-every week to train...

-..to ensure they are good enough to

-beat their opponents on a Saturday.

-But, the rugby club in Bala faces

-a performance of a different kind.

-It's a pantomime.

-It's behind you, lads!

-The idea came off the back

-of the success of Paffio Penllyn...

-..and The Full Monty

-by the rugby club.

-We needed a new way of fund-raising

-so chose to do a pantomime...

-..but its for adults as the language

-is strong and it's risque.

-That's my life

-and you have to think about it.

-This pantomime

-is called Anghenfil Llyn Tegid.

-Rumours have been rife for years

-about a monster in Bala Lake.

-Some claim to have seen it and

-it's the basis of this pantomime.

-You're the storyteller.

-You're the storyteller.

-

-Yes, so I should know the story.

-It's a simple story and taken

-from a pantomime for children.

-It's very simple and refers to

-local stories and characters...

-..which is lovely

-for the local community.

-It's good that the storyteller

-knows the story.

-Yes, but we don't want

-to reveal it all.

-How do you cope with all these lads?

-We're used to them

-as we've been friends for years.

-There's a lot of colourful language

-in this part.

-I work backstage and organize events

-for the rugby club.

-I check the props, ensure everyone

-is on time and am a general gopher!

-I play Lwc y Telynor.

-I was chosen because I'm small

-and the character is a little boy.

-This is totally different

-to what we do in the rugby club.

-We normally play rugby

-and socialize.

-We're trying to raise funds for the

-area and have fun in the process.

-It's important in this area to get

-the community together to socialize.

-I understand that you're playing

-an ugly sister, Rhys.

-I don't know if John Glyn thought

-long and hard before choosing me...

-..but I'm one of the ugly sisters

-and I don't know why!

-I don't think I'm ugly!

-I hope people are rolling

-in the aisles with laughter...

-..but there's songs

-and I hope people enjoy them.

-The tickets sold out quickly

-so I hope people respond well.

-This is your wig for the night

-so can you put it on for us?

-It's like looking in a mirror!

-Good luck to the Bala team

-this weekend.

-The pantomime looks full of fun.

-Robin McBryde, the forwards coach

-for the Welsh rugby team...

-..is my studio guest this evening.

-The Bala team is doing well

-at the moment.

-The Bala boys

-are fourth in the table.

-They are also a few games in hand.

-Yesterday, the squad was announced

-for the Six Nations championship.

-Yesterday, we announced

-the squad for the Six Nations.

-They found out an hour

-before we announced the squad.

-They received a text or an email.

-When did you know about the team?

-We met on Monday

-to choose the players.

-We also discussed the plans

-for the Six Nations Championship.

-This is a happy time,

-but also worrying and emotional.

-We tend to have a chat with the

-players who are usually chosen...

-..and if they don't make the team,

-we discuss it with them too.

-The squad is larger than before.

-We have 37 names in the squad.

-The first game is against Ireland...

-..and it will be a big match

-for the team.

-We hope we won't have as many

-injuries as in the World Cup.

-Aled Davies

-deserves to have his first cap.

-The Scarlets coaches

-always speak highly of him.

-This is his chance to shine.

-Your son is playing

-for the Under 20s.

-My son has been chosen to represent

-the Under 20s for the Six Nations.

-He has a lot of work ahead of him.

-We'll also be touring New Zealand

-in the summer.

-We don't make things

-easy for ourselves.

-We'll also play a friendly

-against England.

-against the national team...

-..and one game against the Chiefs.

-Today, we've revealed the finalists

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-The composer, Joseph Parry was the

-most famous Welshman in the world.

-His classic song, Myfanwy is

-still a favourite around the world.

-Rhodri visited his old home

-of 4 Chapel Row, Merthyr...

-..which is now a museum and

-a building of historical importance.

-# Why is it anger, O Myfanwy? #

-There's a number of Welsh cliches

-that eat away at your core...

-..such as male voice choirs,

-industrial sites and terraced homes.

-Yes, we've got them all here.

-They are apt because Joseph Parry's

-story combines all these elements.

-He was born in this house in 1841.

-Joseph Parry was born in 1841,

-in the same year as the census.

-That census teaches us that Merthyr

-was home to about 35,000 people.

-It was our largest town and bigger

-than Swansea and Cardiff combined.

-Some 90% of Merthyr's population was

-Welsh and most were Welsh speakers.

-The living conditions were horrific

-and they faced terrible poverty.

-People survived

-thanks to the chapel and music.

-Parry worked in the mines aged ten

-before entering the ironworks...

-..but his father emigrated

-to America to find a better life.

-Opportunities arose in Danville,

-Pennsylvania as it had an ironworks.

-His father went first and the family

-joined him later.

-Joseph Parry worked in the ironworks

-so he knew his people.

-They lived a Welsh life

-in Danville too.

-Joseph grew and developed his

-musical talent under Welsh teachers.

-He won awards

-at the National Eisteddfod...

-..and returned to be educated

-in London and Cambridge.

-He worked in Aberystwyth and Swansea

-and taught Welsh musicians...

-..but shot to fame

-for his compositions.

-He penned hymn tunes such as

-Aberystwyth and Sirioldeb...

-..but he also wrote operas, cantatas

-and anthems for male voice choirs.

-Myfanwy is still popular as

-it's sentimental yet simple too...

-..but thousands are still moved

-by the music.

-I know as I've conducted the song

-in various parts of the world.

-The effect it has on its listeners

-is quite incredible.

-It moves singers, not just choirs.

-Bryn Terfel, Cerys Matthews and

-John Cale have recorded the song.

-# Give me your hand,

-my sweet Myfanwy

-# But one last time,

-to say "farewell" #

-Joseph Parry's story doesn't end in

-the Valleys or America but Penarth.

-He died in 1903 and is buried in the

-cemetery of St Augustine's Church.

-On a fine day, you can see

-the Welsh Valleys in the distance.

-Elfed took part in the funeral and

-said that you can't bury a musician.

-"You can bury a poet, artist

-or minister but never a musician...

-"..because they live on in

-their country through their music."

-This has all come true.

-It's important to remember Parry

-on the site of his birth.

-At his death, Joseph Parry was the

-most famous Welshman in the world.

-This week, we're celebrating

-the South Wales Valleys...

-..and Joseph Parry connects

-the Valleys with our national music.

-# "Farewell" #
