0:06:17 > 0:06:18- ..youth clubs...
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- ..and primary schools, - where daily worship is the norm...

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- This is - an ambitious project, Delyth.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Yes, it's enormous...
0:06:30 > 0:06:34- ..when you consider - there are more than 400 songs.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38- Compiling them was hard work - and a lot of thought went into it.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- How the book was going to fit - on the piano was one consideration.
0:06:43 > 0:06:48- We got around that by - publishing the book in two volumes.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- A lot of work goes into producing - a book with so many songs in it.
0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Prominent songwriters - have contributed to the book.

0:07:23 > 0:07:29- What influence is Canu Clod - likely to have on Welsh youngsters?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32- I hope the songs - will stay in the mind...
0:07:32 > 0:07:35- ..especially the children's songs.
0:07:35 > 0:07:40- But there are also songs - that are suitable for young people.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I think songs like that - can inspire...
0:07:44 > 0:07:48- ..and help young people - to reflect on their faith.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51- I hope they'll be inspired - when they sing them.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Our next performer is well suited...
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- ..to contribute to the book.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40- We often associate children's hymns - and choruses with movements.
0:13:40 > 0:13:43- The clapping of hands and dancing.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- Showing you the movements now - doesn't do them justice...
