-Ellis, or Hedd Wyn, won the chair -at the Birkenhead Eisteddfod... | 0:00:14 | 0:00:20 | |
-..but he never returned -to accept his Eisteddfod chair. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:24 | |
-People felt strongly that this -event needed to be remembered... | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
-..in an unique way. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
-Two years ago, -the journey started... | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
-.. to devise one of the most -ambitious opening concerts... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
-..of the National Eisteddfod. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:42 | |
-Four, five years ago, -myself and Gwawr Wyn Roberts... | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
-..were discussing a project -to commemorate the First World War. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
-It was her idea to commission music -to remember the life of Hedd Wyn... | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
-..and other soldiers -from the First World War. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Gwawr asked us -if we were interested... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-..in working together -on a music project about Hedd Wyn. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
-Since 2017 was the centenary year -of his death... | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
-..we were glad we could do -something very different. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-We've been concerned about Hedd Wyn -fatigue over the years. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-With the centenary of the -Black Chair ceremony this year... | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
-..it was decided to present -the work at the National Eisteddfod. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-We wanted to commemorate -Hedd Wyn's life in different ways. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-This was a chance -to do something special. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
-To start the creative process... | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-..a visit to Hedd Wyn's -former home was organised... | 0:01:38 | 0:01:41 | |
-..by project manager -Mari Pritchard. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
-I was eager not to start this -journey without bringing... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-..the Eisteddfod community -to Yr Ysgwrn... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-..to experience -the wonderful atmosphere. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
-The natural starting point was the -school children of Ysgol Bodedern. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
-The school is literally -next door to the Eisteddfod. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-We've been taught about him -in Welsh lessons... | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-..but we don't really know -how he lived. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
-That's been very interesting. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:12 | |
-It was an emotional experience -seeing the Black Chair. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-I can't imagine what it was like -during the ceremony. | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
-We were told how people -started to cry. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-I can't imagine -being in that situation. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-We knew that Hogia Llanbobman -would be part of the finished work. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:33 | |
-They're young lads... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
-..the same age as the soldiers -who left their families. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:40 | |
-We brought members -of the working committee here too. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
-I love this place. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:47 | |
-Being here and being introduced to -the story even though we know it... | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-..by listening to Gerald and -the girls, is such an experience. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
-Gerald is Hedd Wyn's nephew. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-He lived in Yr Ysgwrn -until very recently. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-"He died for freedom and honour." | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-Where's the freedom for a soldier -who's been killed - I don't know. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:10 | |
-I think the room that's full -of chairs is a stunning room. | 0:03:10 | 0:03:15 | |
-So much history, so many stories, -so much heritage in that room. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
-It's such an interesting place. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
-I've heard great things about -Yr Ysgwrn but I've never visited. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
-A lot of the lads -had never been here. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:28 | |
-I'm glad we had the chance -and it didn't disappoint. | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
-We'd heard a lot about Gerald, -the main man. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
-He said that there was something -here and we felt it today. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-Hedd Wyn is important... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-..and more importantly, -he's a symbol of a creator who died. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:49 | |
-He was a poet, a creative creature. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
-The creative creature -was killed by a beast... | 0:03:53 | 0:03:57 | |
-..that killed hundreds -and hundreds of thousands. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
-The centenary of his death... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
-..and the opportunity to do -something during the Eisteddfod... | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
-..gives us the chance to remember. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:10 | |
-He was no more special than anyone -else who died during the war... | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-..but he stands as a symbol -of what happened to many Welsh men. | 0:04:14 | 0:04:18 | |
-Originally, we wanted a story -about Trawsfynydd... | 0:04:18 | 0:04:21 | |
-..and then we wondered why -we had a story about Trawsfynydd... | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
-..in the Anglesey Eisteddfod. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:29 | |
-It didn't take us long to realise -that it was our privilege... | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
-..to be able to commemorate -the centenary. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
-The comments and suggestions -of the group... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-..were presented to brothers -Aled and Dafydd Hughes... | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-..who would compose the music -for the concert. | 0:04:46 | 0:04:49 | |
-Writing for a choir -was a whole new experience... | 0:04:49 | 0:04:53 | |
-..for the two members -of Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
-We were looking for an outline. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
-We wanted to come in -with a clear idea... | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-..without it having to be complete. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-As long as we came in -with some kind of vision... | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-..of how to interpret the story... | 0:05:10 | 0:05:13 | |
-Well, that's what we did. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:14 | |
-I don't know how other people do it -but it worked for us. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-I think we had a clear -and definite idea. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
-We had a clear idea -but we were also flexible. | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-We wanted to work with other people -and bring people in. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:29 | |
-We wanted to work with Guto Dafydd. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
-That opportunity came -and he worked a lot on the words. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:40 | |
-I wanted to write something -that was singable. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:44 | |
-The words are simple, there's -nothing highbrow about them. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:47 | |
-I hope people -can understand them easily. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
-They're singable, -they're memorable, I hope. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
-I didn't want to create something... | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-..that was too difficult -to understand. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
-It's a simple story about a man -the same age as myself... | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-..who was killed in battle -before realising one of his dreams. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-I wanted to keep the story -as simple as that. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
-Guto Dafydd deserves the praise -for the narrative and the story. | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
-It's not a show -just about Hedd Wyn... | 0:06:16 | 0:06:19 | |
-..it's a show about the Eisteddfod, -about war... | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
-..and the role of the Eisteddfod, -then and now. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:26 | |
-It's a general story. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:28 | |
-Hedd Wyn is the strand -that runs through it. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
-We're using Hedd Wyn -to represent everyone. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-We've added as many elements -as we can. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
-We looked at the role of women -during that time... | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
-..we looked at the role -of the power brokers... | 0:06:41 | 0:06:45 | |
-..we looked at chapels, fairs -and the rural community. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
-We're trying to portray a picture -of leaving rural Meirionnydd... | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
-..for the horror of war. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:56 | |
-I particularly like the song -that opens the show - Canrif. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
-It's a song about -our attitude to the war today. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
-We think about the fields of battle -as green fields... | 0:07:13 | 0:07:19 | |
-..fields that now look -neat and tidy. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-Part of the challenge for us -was to avoid that image... | 0:07:23 | 0:07:26 | |
-..and return to the filth and horror -of war where people were killed... | 0:07:26 | 0:07:30 | |
-..and flesh was torn from bodies. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
-The music for that song confirms -something that's important to me. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
-It's a celebration, we're paying -homage to their history... | 0:07:39 | 0:07:45 | |
-..by trying to understand... | 0:07:46 | 0:07:48 | |
-..and interpret their feelings -at the time. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-We're trying to depict them -as people, like you and me. | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
-By doing that, -I hope we can do them some justice. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
-The call was heard -across the island. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-Over 180 Anglesey voices -gathered together to form a choir. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
-That's when the vision became alive. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
-I'm looking forward -to presenting two new songs. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:18 | |
-Everyone's so eager and enthusiastic -about the music... | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
-..it's a pleasure to work with them. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
-I'm sure they'll be excited -about the two new songs. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-We had a great response -for the choir. | 0:08:34 | 0:08:36 | |
-Everyone wanted to be -part of the project. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-The places filled up quickly -which was very encouraging. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:44 | |
-What's nice about -the Eisteddfod choir... | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
-..is having a cross-section -of ages and backgrounds. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:51 | |
-They're a group -that's interested in singing... | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
-..but there are new members -who want to sing. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-The generations have come together -and it works well. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:05 | |
-We had a new piece today from -the fair and it was very up tempo. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-That was very different -and it's nice having a contrast... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
-..from the melancholy to the merry. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:22 | |
-We heard on the first night -the plan for the show. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
-We learnt more about the show -as more songs are introduced. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:34 | |
-I'm enjoying it, I didn't think I -would at the start but I really am. | 0:09:35 | 0:09:41 | |
-Mari, Catrin and the team are great. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:47 | |
-People are excited on the island. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:49 | |
-Rehearsals are packed each time. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-There are many singers -in the choir... | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-..which is a reflection -of the excitement. | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |

-With the passing of the seasons, -rehearsals continue... | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
-..as the Eisteddfod approaches. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
-..as the Eisteddfod approaches. - -Getting nervous. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
-We're under pressure -to learn the pieces and the words. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:17 | |
-It's getting exciting -and it's starting to come together. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-We're getting an idea -of how good it'll be. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
-I'm still enjoying it. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:27 | |
-If you're feeling down, being here -on a Saturday will lift the spirits. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:32 | |
-I've enjoyed myself very much -and I'm still enjoying myself. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-What's given me -the most enjoyment... | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
-..is learning about ordinary people -who were part of history. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:47 | |
-It's as if the music -has gone under our skins. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-Initially, I didn't like -some of the music... | 0:10:55 | 0:10:57 | |
-..and all of a sudden, -it grew on me. | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
-The songs Aled, Dafydd and Guto -have written have grabbed us all. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-Our hope is that the audience -will be drawn in after one go. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
-They'll only hear the songs once. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:14 | |
-With the music taking shape, -the creative panel were eager... | 0:11:15 | 0:11:18 | |
-..to include a dramatic element -to the staging. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:21 | |
-Siwan Llynor has years of experience -on stage and backstage. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
-Come and sing. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
-The more I researched the story... | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
-..the more interesting stories -I discovered. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
-I read newspaper articles -about the ceremony. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:44 | |
-There was so much information -in them. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:48 | |
-I wanted to share this information -with others. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-I decided that in terms -of the spoken word... | 0:11:52 | 0:11:58 | |
-..I'd use historical sources... | 0:11:58 | 0:12:02 | |
-..by combining Hedd Wyn's poems -with newspaper articles... | 0:12:02 | 0:12:06 | |
-..and also letters -from Anglesey soldiers. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
-Finding the balance between -the entertainment and the history... | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
-..is difficult, -it's such a fine line. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-You have to show respect. | 0:12:20 | 0:12:22 | |
-My fear is showing disrespect. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:26 | |
-There are moments of sadness -during the concert... | 0:12:27 | 0:12:33 | |
-..but I think it's important -to remember the sacrifice... | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-..of an entire society -a century ago. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:42 | |
-There are a lot of parts -I'm looking forward to seeing. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
-I'm looking forward -to seeing Ewch A Nhw working. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
-That's going to be -a special performance. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-It's something that made us realise -how the mothers must have felt. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:07 | |
-While the choir rehearses, Aled -and Dafydd are releasing a single... | 0:13:13 | 0:13:18 | |
-..of the song Osian Candelas sings -to promote the concert. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
-Today, we're recording the song -I sing in the show. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
-I haven't heard a lot of it, -Aled's only just given it to me. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:31 | |
-It's exciting to record it -as a single... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:33 | |
-..and release it before the show. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-# Mud and blood # | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
-Aled asked me -to be part of the concert. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
-Initially, -I thought it would be nice... | 0:13:47 | 0:13:49 | |
-..to be part -of the Eisteddfod again. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
-Last year, -Candelas were fortunate enough... | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-..to have the to pavilion gig -with the orchestra. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-Great to be part of the Eisteddfod -and of the opening concert. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |
-I think this is the largest project -we've ever done... | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |
-..but in some ways, we haven't -done anything like this before. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-It's different -to recording an album. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:18 | |
-I'm looking forward to it. | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
-Today, we're working on a track -with Osian Huw Candelas. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
-Lleuwen is also part of the show. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:29 | |
-I'm excited about seeing them -on the stage with the orchestra. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:34 | |
-I'm only singing one song -during the show so I'm quite lucky. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
-I can then sit back -and watch the show in its entirety. | 0:14:39 | 0:14:44 | |
-I'm good friends -with Aled and Dafydd. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
-It's exciting -that they've written a show. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
-I can watch Casi and Lleuwen -performing the show... | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
-..alongside the choir -and the orchestra. | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-We have a lot of folk and rock -influences in our background. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:02 | |
-We have a full orchestra so we've -written the music with that in mind. | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
-That brings a different slant -to it. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
-Paul Mealor and Grahame Davies have -written a requiem for the middle. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
-The show breaks up -into three thematic parts. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:22 | |
-They've written the part -that's in the middle. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
-# Ac os ddo' i fyth yn ol | 0:15:26 | 0:15:32 | |
-# Bydd rhan ohona i yn dal -i foddi yn y mwd a'r gwaed | 0:15:33 | 0:15:40 | |

-Since the early days -of the project... | 0:15:51 | 0:15:53 | |
-..the choral composer, Paul Mealor -and poet Grahame Davies... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-..had been writing -a new requiem for the concert. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
-As you grow up, especially -if you're involved in the arts... | 0:16:02 | 0:16:05 | |
-..or as a composer -that sets poetry... | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-..you have to be aware -of Hedd Wyn really. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
-I remember when it was -my 30th birthday... | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-..pretty close to the age -Hedd Wyn was when he passed away... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
-..it then becomes real. | 0:16:18 | 0:16:20 | |
-Here I am, at this particular age, -at that point... | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
-..where he was when his life ended. | 0:16:24 | 0:16:27 | |
-It becomes poignant to you -as an artist. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:30 | |
-I was asked to write the meditative -part, the requiem. | 0:16:30 | 0:16:34 | |
-It's a tribute -to Hedd Wyn specifically. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
-With Grahame Davies, -the great poet... | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
-..we put together -a tribute to Hedd Wyn. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-There are different ways -to start something like this. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:48 | |
-Paul had specific ideas -about the structure of the piece. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
-He wanted a requiem. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:53 | |
-He wanted a short requiem -but there were parts within it... | 0:16:56 | 0:17:01 | |
-..he wanted to highlight -and develop. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:04 | |
-That was the starting point. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:06 | |
-It begins with wine glasses -being tuned... | 0:17:06 | 0:17:09 | |
-..to give this pure, -gentle, gorgeous chord... | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-..that runs -throughout the requiem... | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-..as if there's something -that's constant... | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
-..even though life -is in light and darkness. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:22 | |
-The mass in his piece is a part -of a greater musical piece... | 0:17:22 | 0:17:27 | |
-..which has a different style. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:30 | |
-It has to represent something -meditative, something still... | 0:17:30 | 0:17:36 | |
-..and it was an opportunity -to look at the situation... | 0:17:36 | 0:17:42 | |
-..in an elevated manner -which does justice... | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-..to the grandeur of the subject. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:49 | |
-I wanted to create something -that is relevant today... | 0:17:51 | 0:17:57 | |
-..a hundred years later. | 0:17:57 | 0:17:59 | |
-The children sing it - they sing -Sanctus, Sanctus, holy, holy... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:03 | |
-..in the final part of it. | 0:18:03 | 0:18:05 | |
-It's perhaps the most moving part... | 0:18:05 | 0:18:07 | |
-..as we move to the final prayer -of thanksgiving. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-Words are crucial to anything -but the music itself... | 0:18:11 | 0:18:15 | |
-..has to give the emotion, -has to give the heart... | 0:18:15 | 0:18:18 | |
-..to the words' intellect. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
-It's mind and heart together... | 0:18:20 | 0:18:22 | |
-..to create something -touching and poignant. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-I would like people to take away, -particularly from the requiem... | 0:18:25 | 0:18:29 | |
-..it's like there is -in all things dark... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:33 | |
-..there is a sense of inner light. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
-I want that as a tolling bell. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-It gives you that sense of hope. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:41 | |
-I think I want that to be -something that people take away. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
-Even in the darkest of times, -there is hope for light. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
-I hope that people -will appreciate... | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
-..the paradoxical element -in one of the pieces... | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
-..of the serene wolves -and the invincible lambs. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
-People are invited to see -the unexpected characteristics. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:09 | |
-That's a challenge for us all... | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
-..to search for -unexpected characteristics... | 0:19:16 | 0:19:19 | |
-..in familiar -yet challenging surroundings. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:23 | |
-One of the difficulties in looking -at anything to do with war... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:32 | |
-..is making sure -you don't glorify war. | 0:19:32 | 0:19:34 | |
-It's not about that. -Hedd Wyn's poetry isn't about that. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
-It's about the terror of it. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-It's about reminding each generation -how we cannot do it again. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-When you engage in something -like this... | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-..if you're serious about it, -you have to get hold of the story... | 0:19:46 | 0:19:50 | |
-..and try and say it with as much -power as you can as an artist... | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
-..we cannot do this again... | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
-..this terrible thing that we do -to each other as human beings. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:59 | |
-From the serenity of the mass -to daily rural life. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
-Siwan Llynor wanted to highlight -the role of chapels during the war. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:09 | |
-I'd done a lot of research into -recruitment in the quarry area. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:14 | |
-John Williams Brynsiencyn -was very active at that time. | 0:20:14 | 0:20:19 | |
-Coming from Anglesey, he was such -an influential man during the war... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:25 | |
-..and we had to include the story -of John Williams Brynsiencyn. | 0:20:26 | 0:20:31 | |
-He persuaded so many young men from -Anglesey to join the war effort. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:40 | |
-# Felly, felly, Cymru, -peidiwch bod yn drist | 0:20:40 | 0:20:44 | |
-# Dewch o'r aelwyd fach -i blesio Iesu Grist # | 0:20:44 | 0:20:48 | |
-I sing Can Y Pregethwr. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:50 | |
-I orate a famous speech -of his first... | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
-..and then we sing the song -which is a jazzy number. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:57 | |
-Ministers at that time -were the pop stars of their age. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:03 | |
-He convinced the young men -to become soldiers. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
-The higher the waves, -the smoother the rock will become. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:12 | |
-I've just added something extra... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
-..in Craig Yr Oesoedd, -another Anglesey hymn. | 0:21:16 | 0:21:19 | |
-# Craig safadwy mewn tymhestloedd | 0:21:19 | 0:21:26 | |
-# Craig a ddeil yng ngrym y lli # | 0:21:26 | 0:21:33 | |
-It's nice mixing the hymn into -John Williams Brynsiencyn's song. | 0:21:33 | 0:21:38 | |
-# Felly, felly, Cymru, -peidiwch bod yn drist | 0:21:42 | 0:21:47 | |
-# Dewch o'r aelwyd fach -i blesio Iesu Grist # | 0:21:47 | 0:21:51 | |
-The other hymn they sing, -Bydd Myrdd O Ryfeddodau... | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
-..it was the hymn -sung by the congregation... | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-..after the chairing ceremony. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-# Oll yn eu gynau gwynion # | 0:22:01 | 0:22:08 | |
-The words, "children return -in their white robes"... | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-..it's as if every aspect -of the chairing ceremony... | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
-..was meticulously planned. | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
-I'm not here as the director to say, -"Look, it was all propaganda". | 0:22:24 | 0:22:30 | |
-I'm here to show what happened. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:33 | |
-I'm hoping the audience, -at home and in the pavilion... | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
-..can make up their own mind. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
-With less than a week to go... | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
-..the choir convene for the final -time at Ysgol Y Graig, Llangefni. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:50 | |
-Many of the artists -and the management panel... | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-..have turned up -for a taste of the performance. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-We started by listening -to the community... | 0:22:58 | 0:23:01 | |
-..and it ends with a choir of people -from the Eisteddfod area. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-It's come together superbly. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:07 | |
-I'm certain it will be a feast -for the audience. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
-Completely certain. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:15 | |
-It's great to see years of planning -coming to fruition. | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
-It is so relevant to today. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-There's excitement now, not panic! | 0:23:24 | 0:23:26 | |
-There we are, -the next step is the concert. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-We'll then have the opportunity -to ask the crucial question... | 0:23:31 | 0:23:36 | |
-..A Oes Heddwch? | 0:23:36 | 0:23:37 | |
