0:00:20 > 0:00:24- ..but he never returned - to accept his Eisteddfod chair.
0:00:28 > 0:00:32- People felt strongly that this - event needed to be remembered...
0:00:32 > 0:00:33- ..in an unique way.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36- Two years ago, - the journey started...
0:00:37 > 0:00:40- .. to devise one of the most - ambitious opening concerts...

0:00:45 > 0:00:49- Four, five years ago, - myself and Gwawr Wyn Roberts...
0:00:49 > 0:00:54- ..were discussing a project - to commemorate the First World War.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02- ..and other soldiers - from the First World War.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05- Gwawr asked us - if we were interested...
0:01:06 > 0:01:09- ..in working together - on a music project about Hedd Wyn.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12- Since 2017 was the centenary year - of his death...
0:01:12 > 0:01:15- ..we were glad we could do - something very different.
0:01:15 > 0:01:19- We've been concerned about Hedd Wyn - fatigue over the years.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- With the centenary of the - Black Chair ceremony this year...
0:01:24 > 0:01:27- ..it was decided to present - the work at the National Eisteddfod.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- We wanted to commemorate - Hedd Wyn's life in different ways.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- This was a chance - to do something special.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38- To start the creative process...
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- ..a visit to Hedd Wyn's - former home was organised...
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- ..by project manager - Mari Pritchard.
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- I was eager not to start this - journey without bringing...
0:01:49 > 0:01:52- ..the Eisteddfod community - to Yr Ysgwrn...
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- ..to experience - the wonderful atmosphere.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00- The natural starting point was the - school children of Ysgol Bodedern.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- The school is literally - next door to the Eisteddfod.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- We've been taught about him - in Welsh lessons...
0:02:08 > 0:02:10- ..but we don't really know - how he lived.
0:02:11 > 0:02:12- That's been very interesting.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16- It was an emotional experience - seeing the Black Chair.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- I can't imagine what it was like - during the ceremony.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23- We were told how people - started to cry.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- I can't imagine - being in that situation.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- We knew that Hogia Llanbobman - would be part of the finished work.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36- They're young lads...
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- ..the same age as the soldiers - who left their families.
0:02:40 > 0:02:44- We brought members - of the working committee here too.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47- I love this place.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Being here and being introduced to - the story even though we know it...
0:02:52 > 0:02:55- ..by listening to Gerald and - the girls, is such an experience.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- Gerald is Hedd Wyn's nephew.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02- He lived in Yr Ysgwrn - until very recently.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05- "He died for freedom and honour."
0:03:05 > 0:03:10- Where's the freedom for a soldier - who's been killed - I don't know.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15- I think the room that's full - of chairs is a stunning room.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19- So much history, so many stories, - so much heritage in that room.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22- It's such an interesting place.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- I've heard great things about - Yr Ysgwrn but I've never visited.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28- A lot of the lads - had never been here.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- I'm glad we had the chance - and it didn't disappoint.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36- We'd heard a lot about Gerald, - the main man.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- He said that there was something - here and we felt it today.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Hedd Wyn is important...
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- ..and more importantly, - he's a symbol of a creator who died.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- He was a poet, a creative creature.
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- The creative creature - was killed by a beast...
0:03:57 > 0:04:02- ..that killed hundreds - and hundreds of thousands.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- The centenary of his death...
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- ..and the opportunity to do - something during the Eisteddfod...
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- ..gives us the chance to remember.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14- He was no more special than anyone - else who died during the war...
0:04:14 > 0:04:18- ..but he stands as a symbol - of what happened to many Welsh men.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Originally, we wanted a story - about Trawsfynydd...
0:04:22 > 0:04:26- ..and then we wondered why - we had a story about Trawsfynydd...
0:04:27 > 0:04:29- ..in the Anglesey Eisteddfod.
0:04:29 > 0:04:34- It didn't take us long to realise - that it was our privilege...
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- ..to be able to commemorate - the centenary.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41- The comments and suggestions - of the group...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- ..were presented to brothers - Aled and Dafydd Hughes...
0:04:46 > 0:04:49- ..who would compose the music - for the concert.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Writing for a choir - was a whole new experience...
0:04:53 > 0:04:57- ..for the two members - of Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00- We were looking for an outline.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- We wanted to come in - with a clear idea...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07- ..without it having to be complete.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- As long as we came in - with some kind of vision...
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- ..of how to interpret the story...
0:05:13 > 0:05:14- Well, that's what we did.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18- I don't know how other people do it - but it worked for us.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22- I think we had a clear - and definite idea.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25- We had a clear idea - but we were also flexible.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- We wanted to work with other people - and bring people in.
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- We wanted to work with Guto Dafydd.
0:05:36 > 0:05:40- That opportunity came - and he worked a lot on the words.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- I wanted to write something - that was singable.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- The words are simple, there's - nothing highbrow about them.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51- I hope people - can understand them easily.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- They're singable, - they're memorable, I hope.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- I didn't want to create something...
0:05:58 > 0:06:01- ..that was too difficult - to understand.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04- It's a simple story about a man - the same age as myself...
0:06:05 > 0:06:08- ..who was killed in battle - before realising one of his dreams.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- I wanted to keep the story - as simple as that.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16- Guto Dafydd deserves the praise - for the narrative and the story.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- It's not a show - just about Hedd Wyn...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23- ..it's a show about the Eisteddfod, - about war...
0:06:23 > 0:06:26- ..and the role of the Eisteddfod, - then and now.
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- It's a general story.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31- Hedd Wyn is the strand - that runs through it.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35- We're using Hedd Wyn - to represent everyone.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- We've added as many elements - as we can.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- We looked at the role of women - during that time...
0:06:41 > 0:06:45- ..we looked at the role - of the power brokers...
0:06:45 > 0:06:50- ..we looked at chapels, fairs - and the rural community.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55- We're trying to portray a picture - of leaving rural Meirionnydd...
0:06:55 > 0:06:56- ..for the horror of war.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- I particularly like the song - that opens the show - Canrif.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13- It's a song about - our attitude to the war today.
0:07:13 > 0:07:19- We think about the fields of battle - as green fields...
0:07:19 > 0:07:22- ..fields that now look - neat and tidy.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- Part of the challenge for us - was to avoid that image...
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- ..and return to the filth and horror - of war where people were killed...
0:07:31 > 0:07:34- ..and flesh was torn from bodies.
0:07:35 > 0:07:38- The music for that song confirms - something that's important to me.
0:07:39 > 0:07:45- It's a celebration, we're paying - homage to their history...
0:07:46 > 0:07:48- ..by trying to understand...
0:07:48 > 0:07:52- ..and interpret their feelings - at the time.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56- We're trying to depict them - as people, like you and me.
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- By doing that, - I hope we can do them some justice.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- The call was heard - across the island.
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Over 180 Anglesey voices - gathered together to form a choir.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- That's when the vision became alive.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- I'm looking forward - to presenting two new songs.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22- Everyone's so eager and enthusiastic - about the music...
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- ..it's a pleasure to work with them.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- I'm sure they'll be excited - about the two new songs.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- We had a great response - for the choir.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40- Everyone wanted to be - part of the project.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- The places filled up quickly - which was very encouraging.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- What's nice about - the Eisteddfod choir...
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- ..is having a cross-section - of ages and backgrounds.
0:08:51 > 0:08:55- They're a group - that's interested in singing...
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- ..but there are new members - who want to sing.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- The generations have come together - and it works well.
0:09:07 > 0:09:12- We had a new piece today from - the fair and it was very up tempo.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16- That was very different - and it's nice having a contrast...
0:09:16 > 0:09:22- ..from the melancholy to the merry.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- We heard on the first night - the plan for the show.
0:09:28 > 0:09:34- We learnt more about the show - as more songs are introduced.
0:09:35 > 0:09:41- I'm enjoying it, I didn't think I - would at the start but I really am.
0:09:41 > 0:09:47- Mari, Catrin and the team are great.
0:09:47 > 0:09:49- People are excited on the island.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Rehearsals are packed each time.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55- There are many singers - in the choir...
0:09:56 > 0:09:58- ..which is a reflection - of the excitement.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03- .
0:10:04 > 0:10:04- Subtitles
0:10:04 > 0:10:05- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:10:05 > 0:10:09- With the passing of the seasons, - rehearsals continue...
0:10:10 > 0:10:12- ..as the Eisteddfod approaches.
0:10:12 > 0:10:13- ..as the Eisteddfod approaches.- - Getting nervous.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17- We're under pressure - to learn the pieces and the words.
0:10:17 > 0:10:21- It's getting exciting - and it's starting to come together.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23- We're getting an idea - of how good it'll be.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27- I'm still enjoying it.
0:10:27 > 0:10:32- If you're feeling down, being here - on a Saturday will lift the spirits.
0:10:35 > 0:10:39- I've enjoyed myself very much - and I'm still enjoying myself.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42- What's given me - the most enjoyment...
0:10:42 > 0:10:47- ..is learning about ordinary people - who were part of history.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- It's as if the music - has gone under our skins.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- Initially, I didn't like - some of the music...
0:10:58 > 0:11:00- ..and all of a sudden, - it grew on me.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06- The songs Aled, Dafydd and Guto - have written have grabbed us all.
0:11:06 > 0:11:12- Our hope is that the audience - will be drawn in after one go.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14- They'll only hear the songs once.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- With the music taking shape, - the creative panel were eager...
0:11:18 > 0:11:21- ..to include a dramatic element - to the staging.
0:11:21 > 0:11:27- Siwan Llynor has years of experience - on stage and backstage.
0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Come and sing.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33- The more I researched the story...
0:11:33 > 0:11:38- ..the more interesting stories - I discovered.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44- I read newspaper articles - about the ceremony.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- There was so much information - in them.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52- I wanted to share this information - with others.
0:11:52 > 0:11:58- I decided that in terms - of the spoken word...
0:11:58 > 0:12:02- ..I'd use historical sources...
0:12:02 > 0:12:06- ..by combining Hedd Wyn's poems - with newspaper articles...
0:12:06 > 0:12:11- ..and also letters - from Anglesey soldiers.
0:12:11 > 0:12:16- Finding the balance between - the entertainment and the history...
0:12:16 > 0:12:19- ..is difficult, - it's such a fine line.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- You have to show respect.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- My fear is showing disrespect.
0:12:27 > 0:12:33- There are moments of sadness - during the concert...
0:12:34 > 0:12:39- ..but I think it's important - to remember the sacrifice...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- ..of an entire society - a century ago.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51- There are a lot of parts - I'm looking forward to seeing.
0:12:52 > 0:12:55- I'm looking forward - to seeing Ewch A Nhw working.
0:12:57 > 0:13:01- That's going to be - a special performance.
0:13:01 > 0:13:07- It's something that made us realise - how the mothers must have felt.
0:13:13 > 0:13:18- While the choir rehearses, Aled - and Dafydd are releasing a single...
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- ..of the song Osian Candelas sings - to promote the concert.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- Today, we're recording the song - I sing in the show.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31- I haven't heard a lot of it, - Aled's only just given it to me.
0:13:31 > 0:13:33- It's exciting to record it - as a single...
0:13:34 > 0:13:36- ..and release it before the show.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- # Mud and blood #
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- Aled asked me - to be part of the concert.
0:13:47 > 0:13:49- Initially, - I thought it would be nice...
0:13:50 > 0:13:52- ..to be part - of the Eisteddfod again.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Last year, - Candelas were fortunate enough...
0:13:55 > 0:13:58- ..to have the to pavilion gig - with the orchestra.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- Great to be part of the Eisteddfod - and of the opening concert.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12- I think this is the largest project - we've ever done...
0:14:12 > 0:14:16- ..but in some ways, we haven't - done anything like this before.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18- It's different - to recording an album.
0:14:19 > 0:14:21- I'm looking forward to it.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26- Today, we're working on a track - with Osian Huw Candelas.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Lleuwen is also part of the show.
0:14:29 > 0:14:34- I'm excited about seeing them - on the stage with the orchestra.
0:14:34 > 0:14:38- I'm only singing one song - during the show so I'm quite lucky.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- I can then sit back - and watch the show in its entirety.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- I'm good friends - with Aled and Dafydd.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49- It's exciting - that they've written a show.
0:14:49 > 0:14:52- I can watch Casi and Lleuwen - performing the show...
0:14:52 > 0:14:55- ..alongside the choir - and the orchestra.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- We have a lot of folk and rock - influences in our background.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- We have a full orchestra so we've - written the music with that in mind.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- That brings a different slant - to it.
0:15:10 > 0:15:15- Paul Mealor and Grahame Davies have - written a requiem for the middle.
0:15:16 > 0:15:22- The show breaks up - into three thematic parts.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25- They've written the part - that's in the middle.
0:15:26 > 0:15:32- # Ac os ddo' i fyth yn ol
0:15:33 > 0:15:40- # Bydd rhan ohona i yn dal - i foddi yn y mwd a'r gwaed
0:15:41 > 0:15:47- # Mwd a'r gwaed
0:15:48 > 0:15:50- # Mwd a'r gwaed #
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- Since the early days - of the project...
0:15:54 > 0:15:58- ..the choral composer, Paul Mealor - and poet Grahame Davies...
0:15:58 > 0:16:01- ..had been writing - a new requiem for the concert.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05- As you grow up, especially - if you're involved in the arts...
0:16:05 > 0:16:08- ..or as a composer - that sets poetry...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11- ..you have to be aware - of Hedd Wyn really.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- I remember when it was - my 30th birthday...
0:16:14 > 0:16:18- ..pretty close to the age - Hedd Wyn was when he passed away...
0:16:18 > 0:16:20- ..it then becomes real.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24- Here I am, at this particular age, - at that point...
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- ..where he was when his life ended.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30- It becomes poignant to you - as an artist.
0:16:30 > 0:16:34- I was asked to write the meditative - part, the requiem.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37- It's a tribute - to Hedd Wyn specifically.
0:16:37 > 0:16:40- With Grahame Davies, - the great poet...
0:16:41 > 0:16:43- ..we put together - a tribute to Hedd Wyn.
0:16:44 > 0:16:48- There are different ways - to start something like this.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Paul had specific ideas - about the structure of the piece.
0:16:52 > 0:16:53- He wanted a requiem.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01- He wanted a short requiem - but there were parts within it...
0:17:02 > 0:17:04- ..he wanted to highlight - and develop.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06- That was the starting point.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09- It begins with wine glasses - being tuned...
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- ..to give this pure, - gentle, gorgeous chord...
0:17:13 > 0:17:16- ..that runs - throughout the requiem...
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- ..as if there's something - that's constant...
0:17:19 > 0:17:22- ..even though life - is in light and darkness.
0:17:22 > 0:17:27- The mass in his piece is a part - of a greater musical piece...
0:17:27 > 0:17:30- ..which has a different style.
0:17:30 > 0:17:36- It has to represent something - meditative, something still...
0:17:36 > 0:17:42- ..and it was an opportunity - to look at the situation...
0:17:42 > 0:17:46- ..in an elevated manner - which does justice...
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- ..to the grandeur of the subject.
0:17:51 > 0:17:57- I wanted to create something - that is relevant today...
0:17:57 > 0:17:59- ..a hundred years later.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03- The children sing it - they sing - Sanctus, Sanctus, holy, holy...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- ..in the final part of it.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- It's perhaps the most moving part...
0:18:07 > 0:18:10- ..as we move to the final prayer - of thanksgiving.
0:18:11 > 0:18:15- Words are crucial to anything - but the music itself...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- ..has to give the emotion, - has to give the heart...
0:18:18 > 0:18:20- ..to the words' intellect.
0:18:20 > 0:18:22- It's mind and heart together...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ..to create something - touching and poignant.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- I would like people to take away, - particularly from the requiem...
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- ..it's like there is - in all things dark...
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- ..there is a sense of inner light.
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- I want that as a tolling bell.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41- It gives you that sense of hope.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45- I think I want that to be - something that people take away.

0:18:56 > 0:19:00- ..the paradoxical element - in one of the pieces...
0:19:01 > 0:19:05- ..of the serene wolves - and the invincible lambs.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- People are invited to see - the unexpected characteristics.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15- That's a challenge for us all...
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- ..to search for - unexpected characteristics...
0:19:19 > 0:19:23- ..in familiar - yet challenging surroundings.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32- One of the difficulties in looking - at anything to do with war...
0:19:32 > 0:19:34- ..is making sure - you don't glorify war.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- It's not about that. - Hedd Wyn's poetry isn't about that.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- It's about the terror of it.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- It's about reminding each generation - how we cannot do it again.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46- When you engage in something - like this...
0:19:46 > 0:19:50- ..if you're serious about it, - you have to get hold of the story...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- ..and try and say it with as much - power as you can as an artist...
0:19:54 > 0:19:56- ..we cannot do this again...
0:19:56 > 0:19:59- ..this terrible thing that we do - to each other as human beings.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03- From the serenity of the mass - to daily rural life.
0:20:03 > 0:20:09- Siwan Llynor wanted to highlight - the role of chapels during the war.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14- I'd done a lot of research into - recruitment in the quarry area.
0:20:14 > 0:20:19- John Williams Brynsiencyn - was very active at that time.
0:20:19 > 0:20:25- Coming from Anglesey, he was such - an influential man during the war...
0:20:26 > 0:20:31- ..and we had to include the story - of John Williams Brynsiencyn.
0:20:34 > 0:20:40- He persuaded so many young men from - Anglesey to join the war effort.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- # Felly, felly, Cymru, - peidiwch bod yn drist
0:20:44 > 0:20:48- # Dewch o'r aelwyd fach - i blesio Iesu Grist #
0:20:49 > 0:20:50- I sing Can Y Pregethwr.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- I orate a famous speech - of his first...
0:20:54 > 0:20:57- ..and then we sing the song - which is a jazzy number.
0:20:57 > 0:21:03- Ministers at that time - were the pop stars of their age.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06- He convinced the young men - to become soldiers.
0:21:07 > 0:21:12- The higher the waves, - the smoother the rock will become.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15- I've just added something extra...
0:21:16 > 0:21:19- ..in Craig Yr Oesoedd, - another Anglesey hymn.
0:21:19 > 0:21:26- # Craig safadwy mewn tymhestloedd
0:21:26 > 0:21:33- # Craig a ddeil yng ngrym y lli #
0:21:33 > 0:21:38- It's nice mixing the hymn into - John Williams Brynsiencyn's song.
0:21:42 > 0:21:47- # Felly, felly, Cymru, - peidiwch bod yn drist
0:21:47 > 0:21:51- # Dewch o'r aelwyd fach - i blesio Iesu Grist #
0:21:51 > 0:21:54- The other hymn they sing, - Bydd Myrdd O Ryfeddodau...
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- ..it was the hymn - sung by the congregation...
0:21:58 > 0:22:01- ..after the chairing ceremony.
0:22:01 > 0:22:08- # Oll yn eu gynau gwynion #
