Wowww - faultless performance of this lovely piece by Eric Jones. It's a 'show-stopper'. All four parts were very clear and very well disciplined throughout the piece. Quieter passages were equally as lovely as the louder ones and the build-up to the ending was super. Great conductor and accompanist too - it's high up on my favourites list and it's a 'tour-de-force' for this choir. Da iawn pawb!
Waldo Williams was a conscientious objector and pacifist, and when, from some distance, he saw Swansea in flames after the 1941 Blitz he was moved to write his poem Y Tangnefeddwyr/The Peacemakers. It explains that in the midst of the mayhem of WWII, peacemakers are the children of God.
Even more appropriate today a year after I wrote my original message given the situation in Ukraine. Sing on! I listen to this frequently and sing along. A lot of the views have been mine.
Fantastic song and very well sang. Is there an English translation to this song as I am sure that I have heard this before, possibly by the Salvation Army?
***** Many thanks, a really great help and very much appreciated. I have now played this video so many times and enjoy it every time. I wish the choir every success in the future.
It's a "wir" on the end of Tangnefeddwyr and not an "ooor". The exaggeration of the 'w' too long 'oooo' does not create a pleasant sound in my opinion. I realise that a 'w' is an 'oo' in Welsh but it is not always long.
Angel voices from a beautiful land of culture and passion.

WELSH choirs lead the world in melodious harmony. Tengo mucho "hiraeth" viviendo en España.

I love this song and this choir. The song is so appropriate for today
A pleasure to listen to this piece and to hear the choir pronounce the word 'Tangnefeddwyr' correctly. Ardderchog.
Truly beautiful performance
Just the piano introduction melts your heart........wow.

That was beautiful.

My first grade teacher is in this
Beautiful. I noticed that they say "tangneddwyr" differently than Cor Glanaethwy. Is that a north/south thing?
Actually no, Glanaethwy actually pronounce it incorrectly. They say 'Tangnefeddwr', which is the individual pronounciation.
@@shogun2215 Diolch.

The 5 dislikers must be hard to please 😞
have we found the next Welsh National Anthem?
