Download or read book A History of Welsh Music written by Trevor Herbert and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-09-29 with total page 786 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From early medieval bards to the bands of the 'Cool Cymru' era, this book looks at Welsh musical practices and traditions, the forces that have influenced and directed them, and the ways in which the idea of Wales as a 'musical nation' has been formed and embedded in popular consciousness in Wales and beyond. Beginning with early medieval descriptions of musical life in Wales, the book provides both an overarching study of Welsh music history and detailed consideration of the ideas, beliefs, practices and institutions that shaped it. Topics include the eisteddfod, the church and the chapel, the influence of the Welsh language and Welsh cultural traditions, the scholarship of the Celtic Revival and the folk song movement, the impacts of industrialization and digitization, and exposure to broader trends in popular culture, including commercial popular music and sport.

Download or read book The Welsh Language written by Janet Davies and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2014-01-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The existence of the Welsh-language can come as a surprise to those who assume that English is the foundation language of Britain. However, J. R. R. Tolkien described Welsh as the 'senior language of the men of Britain'. Visitors from outside Wales may be intrigued by the existence of Welsh and will want to find out how a language which has, for at least fifteen hundred years, been the closest neighbour of English, enjoys such vibrancy, bearing in mind that English has obliterated languages thousands of miles from the coasts of England. This book offers a broad historical survey of Welsh-language culture from sixth-century heroic poetry to television and pop culture in the early twenty-first century. The public status of the language is considered and the role of Welsh is compared with the roles of other of the non-state languages of Europe. This new edition of The Welsh Language offers a full assessment of the implications of the linguistic statistics produced by the 2011 Census. The volume contains maps and plans showing the demographic and geographic spread of Welsh over the ages, charts examining the links between words in Welsh and those in other Indo-European languages, and illustrations of key publications and figures in the history of the language. It concludes with brief guides to the pronunciation, the dialects and the grammar of Welsh.

Download or read book Hunangofiant John Davies Fy Hanes I written by John Davies and published by Y Lolfa. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dyma hanes John Davies, Bwlch-llan, yn ei eiriau ei hun - dyn sydd wedi gwneud cyfraniad aruthrol i fywyd, hanes a diwylliant Cymru ers dros hanner cnarif. Mae yma gofnod gwerthfawr o hanes Rhondda'r 1940au, bywyd cefn gwlad Ceredigion yn y 1950au a thwf cenedlaetholdeb a sefydlu Cymdeithas yr Iaith yn y 1960au hyd at sefydlu'r Cynulliad. Cawn ddarllen am ei berthynas â myfyrwyr Pantycelyn yn ystod ei gyfnod fel Warden yno, ac am lafur blynyddoedd o waith ar gyfrolau megis "Hanes Cymru", "Gwyddoniadur Cymru yr Academi Gymreig" a "Cymru: 100 lle i'w gweld cyn marw". Ond mae'r gyfrol yn dangos ochr arall i'r ffigwr cyhoeddus, yr hanesydd gwybodus a'r darlithydd craff. Bu'n rhaid iddo oresgyn rhagfarnau cymdeithasol a dygymod ag anawsterau yn ei fywyd personol. Ac eto, mae ffraethineb yn y straeon, yn enwedig yn hanes ei deithiau tramor i wledydd fel India a'r Unol Daleithiau, Ffrainc a'r Almaen. Dyma ddyn teulu annwyl, wedi gwirioni ar ei blant a'i wyrion, a dyn sydd wrth ei fodd yn yr ardd.

Mae cyfraniad nodedig Meic i ddwy lenyddiaeth Cymru wedi'i gydnabod yn eang, ac yntau wedi ysgrifennu, cyfieithu neu olygu tua 170 o gyfrolau. Gweithiodd yn ddiflino dros ddegawdau lawer, ac er ei fod bellach wedi cyrraedd oed yr addewid mae ei ddiwydrwydd yn parhau. Trodd yn ddiweddar at farddoni yn Wenhwyseg, a daeth o fewn trwch blewyn i gipio Coron yr Eisteddfod
