-I'm full of energy after all that. -I'm so proud of them. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:57 | |
-They've had a witch -teaching them for weeks. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:00 | |
-The witch has been left at home -on Anglesey. Well done. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:04 | |
-Can I ask, -has anyone received the death stare? | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-No death stares? | 0:13:09 | 0:13:11 | |
-You had it? What's it like -to receive the death stare? | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
-Oh, it's horrifying. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
-That's after singing well! -Death stare, Elin? | 0:13:18 | 0:13:21 | |
-No death stares today. -I'm scared of the death stare too. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:26 | |
-I like the sound of this choir. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
-They have a bright, -fresh, young sound... | 0:13:28 | 0:13:31 | |
-..but it's still soft. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:32 | |
-It's possible to give everything -too much 'ah'! Too much ping. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
-This choir produced -a natural and healthy sound. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:42 | |
-They maintained the sound -through every sentence. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
-They also created a great dynamic, -they're very colourful. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
-I like the fact that they were -disciplined right from the start. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:55 | |
-They were uniform in appearance, -how they stood, how they looked. | 0:13:55 | 0:14:00 | |
-You could see the enjoyment -in their faces. | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
-Very strong altos, too. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
-They split many times at the end, -especially at the top... | 0:14:06 | 0:14:10 | |
-..but the mid-section -was also strong. | 0:14:10 | 0:14:12 | |
-My only criticism - work on -the start and end of sentences... | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-..letters like 's' and 't'. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
-I wouldn't want them to be -more hesitant because of that. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-I like how natural they sung, -they had a natural discipline too. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-I'm glad she mentioned their faces. -We worked so hard on that. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
-I couldn't have asked for better. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:36 | |
-The altos were impressive. | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
-The altos were at their best -and we're glad Elin noticed us. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-Congratulation, good luck. -Cor Ieuenctid Mon. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |

-Ysgol Gerdd Ceredigion -has been around since 1993. | 0:15:14 | 0:15:17 | |
-It's as strong now as it ever was. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:20 | |
-We're one family. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
-We rehearse together, -we practically live together. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
-Everyone knows everyone. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:29 | |
-Being here has given us -so many opportunities. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-Cor Cymru, for example. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-Some members of the choir performed -in the Proms at the Albert Hall. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:42 | |
-That was incredible. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
-Different. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
-Islwyn's mellowed with age, -he's more laid-back. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-Islwyn's a legend -because he dances too. | 0:15:53 | 0:15:56 | |
-He tells us to shake our backsides -when we sing. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:01 | |
-There's plenty to pull them away -from choral singing... | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-..but this competition shows that -a lot of youngsters like singing. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:15 | |

-Yr Hogyn Pren by John Daniel. | 0:19:00 | 0:19:03 | |
-It's the story of Pinocchio, -an old story. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:07 | |
-We're hoping to do it justice. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:09 | |
-# His name was Pinocchio | 0:19:10 | 0:19:12 | |
-# And one day to provoke him | 0:19:12 | 0:19:14 | |
-# A large, confident cricket -appeared at the house | 0:19:15 | 0:19:20 | |
-# To argue with Pinocchio | 0:19:21 | 0:19:26 | |
-# Late one night Pinocchio | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |
-# Fell asleep by the fire | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-# And there he lay snoring -on the clean kitchen floor | 0:19:44 | 0:19:51 | |
-# The red flames danced | 0:19:51 | 0:19:56 | |
-# And then roared and roared | 0:19:56 | 0:20:01 | |
-# And there he lay for hours -in front of the fire | 0:20:01 | 0:20:10 | |
-# His two wooden legs turned to ash | 0:20:10 | 0:20:16 | |
-# Burnt to a cinder | 0:20:16 | 0:20:21 | |
-# By the red flames of the fire | 0:20:22 | 0:20:27 | |
-# As he cried and cried | 0:20:27 | 0:20:33 | |
-# On the kitchen floor | 0:20:34 | 0:20:39 | |
-# You can visit the pub | 0:20:44 | 0:20:47 | |
-# Which was run by the red lobster | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
-# Where Pinocchio did sleep | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
-# Once, some time ago | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-# You can read about the prison | 0:20:57 | 0:21:04 | |
-# Before he journeyed -to pastures new | 0:21:05 | 0:21:11 | |
-# And how Pinocchio -was turned into a donkey | 0:21:12 | 0:21:18 | |
-# Before turning back into a boy | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
-# Into a wooden boy | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
-# He was made of wood | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-# From head to toe | 0:21:30 | 0:21:33 | |
-# I'm not sure if paint and water | 0:21:33 | 0:21:36 | |
-# Were used to make his blood | 0:21:36 | 0:21:38 | |
-# I'm sure you'll have fun -reading the story | 0:21:38 | 0:21:43 | |
-# Of the wooden boy # | 0:21:43 | 0:21:47 | |
-We move on -to a relatively simple piece... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:55 | |
-..but it's also exciting - Morokeni. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-It's an arrangement -of a North Namibian melody. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
-It's an opportunity -for the children to move around. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:06 | |
-# Morokeni vakwete, Morokeni | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |

-..to compose four cantatas -on themes from the Bible. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
-One of the stories was Noa. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
-The final song was the light -after the darkness of 40 days. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:44 | |
-# I'll raise my eyes to the heavens | 0:23:45 | 0:23:52 | |
-# Above the land and the sea | 0:23:52 | 0:23:59 | |
-# Behold the colours in the sky | 0:23:59 | 0:24:06 | |
-# There's a rainbow there for me | 0:24:06 | 0:24:13 | |
-# And here, now, -we live for the future | 0:24:15 | 0:24:22 | |
-# Both man and wife -and every creature | 0:24:22 | 0:24:29 | |
-# And life begins its wondrous way, -its wondrous way | 0:24:29 | 0:24:40 | |
-# Just step by step | 0:24:40 | 0:24:44 | |
-# And day by day | 0:24:44 | 0:24:49 | |
-# I raise my eyes to the heavens | 0:24:50 | 0:24:57 | |
-# Above the land and sea | 0:24:58 | 0:25:05 | |

-They create an ambience -using their voices. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
-What's special -with a lot of Islwyn's choirs... | 0:26:30 | 0:26:33 | |
-..but especially today -is the way he matches the sound... | 0:26:33 | 0:26:38 | |
-..to the style of the music -he's performing. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:42 | |
-The Clare Benediction was calm -and they softened their sound. | 0:26:42 | 0:26:46 | |
-With Yr Hogyn Pren, they created -a very different energy. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:51 | |
-More consonants than vowels... | 0:26:51 | 0:26:53 | |
-..and that's incredibly musical. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
-For the future, when you're in full -flow, when you're in the middle... | 0:26:56 | 0:27:01 | |
-..finish the sentence -before taking a breath. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:04 | |
-Sometimes, take an extra second -to breathe before regrouping. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:10 | |
-To be honest, -it was a very polished performance. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:15 | |
-The dancing was great - we had -one singer dancing on crutches. | 0:27:15 | 0:27:19 | |
-I'd also like to see -Islwyn dancing more. | 0:27:19 | 0:27:22 | |
-I was in prime position to enjoy it. | 0:27:22 | 0:27:25 | |
-Here's the singer -dancing on her crutches. | 0:27:28 | 0:27:31 | |
-Was it difficult dancing -on crutches? What have you done? | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
-I fell in school -and twisted my ankle. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
-It didn't stop you -singing beautifully. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
-Just the smallest amount -of criticism about the breathing. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:47 | |
-Do you agree? | 0:27:48 | 0:27:49 | |
-Look at the size -of some of the youngest. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:52 | |
-We need to improve the physique -to improve the breathing. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:57 | |
-That's true of us all! -Good luck. Thank you. | 0:27:57 | 0:28:00 | |

-# With his head under his elbow | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
-# Auntie Gwenno Elin | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |

-# The Sound quietly simmering | 0:36:31 | 0:36:37 | |
-# Auntie Elin Gwenni | 0:36:38 | 0:36:40 | |
-# The seals of the isle of Bardsey | 0:36:40 | 0:36:43 | |
-# Are braying an old song -of the island's saints | 0:36:43 | 0:36:45 | |
-# Shouting out loudly -like my father preaching | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |

-I wrote this song many years ago. | 0:37:11 | 0:37:13 | |
-It's a song about a little hedgehog -searching for a place to sleep. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
-# The land has gone to sleep -and there's snow across the fields | 0:37:18 | 0:37:25 | |
-# The little hedgehog asleep -through the long cold winter | 0:37:25 | 0:37:34 | |
-# He can nestle until spring, -warm beneath the leaves | 0:37:34 | 0:37:41 | |
-# The bed of autumnal colours -will be second to none | 0:37:41 | 0:37:51 | |
-# I need | 0:37:54 | 0:38:00 | |
-# A cosy little home behind a shed | 0:38:01 | 0:38:04 | |
-# A nice dry spot in the hedgerow | 0:38:04 | 0:38:07 | |
-# Anywhere before teatime | 0:38:08 | 0:38:10 | |
-# I'm very tired | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
-# A cosy little home behind a shed | 0:38:13 | 0:38:17 | |
-# A nice dry spot in the hedgerow | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
-# There's nothing along the street | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
-# But withered leaves | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
-# Leaves upon leaves, willow and oak | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
-# Blankets of sycamore | 0:38:30 | 0:38:33 | |
-# Leaves upon leaves, -elder and hazel | 0:38:33 | 0:38:36 | |
-# Beech pillows and ash | 0:38:37 | 0:38:39 | |
-# Leaves upon leaves -as a mattress beneath my feet | 0:38:40 | 0:38:45 | |
-# A bed of autumnal colours | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
-# The best bed there ever was # | 0:38:49 | 0:38:56 | |
-Well, well, welcome to backstage. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
-Can you describe how exciting -it was to sing on Cor Cymru? | 0:39:10 | 0:39:15 | |
-I'm feeling so excited. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
-I sang a lot and I felt it was very -good and the best I'd ever sung. | 0:39:18 | 0:39:23 | |
-Tell me, who's your grandfather? | 0:39:24 | 0:39:27 | |

-They performed from the first -minute and that's lovely to see. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:43 | |
-When they came out, -they were so obedient. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
-If my children were that obedient, -I'd be happy. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:49 | |
-Their faces were animated. | 0:39:49 | 0:39:51 | |
-They were smiling -as they looked at us. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
-They knew where they were, -they knew why they were here. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:58 | |
-They enjoyed themselves. | 0:39:58 | 0:40:01 | |

-They started with something -they knew very well. | 0:40:05 | 0:40:09 | |
-They had a pingy sound. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
-Bright, wonderful -and they told a story. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
-Children are excellent -at telling a story. | 0:40:14 | 0:40:17 | |
-Telling a story through music -is the best thing you can do. | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
-They were also very playful. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
-Mari is playful with them -and she gives them 100%. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:29 | |
-They respond and the same look -is seen from both sides. | 0:40:29 | 0:40:32 | |
-They're a real team. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:34 | |
-I'd like to hear them a capella. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
-I think they could rise -to the challenge... | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
-..of singing without the piano. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:44 | |
-You're impressed. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:45 | |
-You're impressed. - -Most definitely. It's personality. | 0:40:45 | 0:40:48 | |
-I just wanted to give them -a happy experience... | 0:40:48 | 0:40:52 | |
-..that would keep them -with the choir and help them enjoy. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
-I do agree, it would have been nice -to sing a capella. | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
-The greatest thing -is telling a story through music. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
-That's why we chose Hansel -and Gretel and Modryb Elen Enog. | 0:41:04 | 0:41:08 | |
-I hope we showcased -children's choirs at their best. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:13 | |

-When we're together, we're -doing something we love in Welsh. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:08 | |
-I think that's fab. | 0:42:08 | 0:42:09 | |

-So many youngsters -are treated negatively... | 0:42:40 | 0:42:43 | |
-..but this choir -meets every Wednesday and Sunday... | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
-..and give their lives -to this choir. | 0:42:47 | 0:42:51 | |
-My expectations -for this choir are very high. | 0:42:51 | 0:42:54 | |
-We've done so well and Elin and Gav -have shown us the potential we have. | 0:42:55 | 0:43:01 | |

-They can't wait to compete -on the Cor Cymru stage. | 0:43:10 | 0:43:13 | |
-If we push ourselves to the limit, -we'll do well. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |

-Before the break, we heard -Cor y Cwm closing the competition. | 0:53:05 | 0:53:10 | |
-You were the final choir to compete. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
-Were you the best choir to compete? | 0:53:13 | 0:53:15 | |
-Like they say, -"Save the best for last." | 0:53:16 | 0:53:18 | |
-Your first song was Canwn Ynghyd. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:22 | |
-Its message is the world -is a better place when we sing. | 0:53:22 | 0:53:26 | |
-I agree with that. Singing -is the best thing in the world. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:30 | |
-I enjoyed seeing them end -with the West End. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:32 | |
-It's nice to have some excitement -for the choir. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:36 | |
-I like movement, -especially in children's choirs. | 0:53:36 | 0:53:39 | |
-We know how difficult it is -to get them to concentrate. | 0:53:40 | 0:53:43 | |
-Let me mention quickly, -Cor y Cwm are great at doing this. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:48 | |
-It was nice to see them start -with three unaccompanied pieces. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:53 | |
-That shows confidence -in their ability. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:55 | |
-Great tonality, -wonderful pronunciation... | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
-..they sang in unison, -they had bright voices... | 0:53:59 | 0:54:02 | |
-..and there was subtlety -when needed. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:05 | |
-She treats them very sensitively, -she knows how to respond to them... | 0:54:05 | 0:54:11 | |
