Another Welsh folk song - a farewell song by someone press ganged into joining the dragoons. I’m trying to get to grips with Aeolian mode and using the drones.
The Welsh tunes you've posted sound ever-so-good on mountain dulcimer, Beth!
Thanks so much for your feedback and support Robin! They are much appreciated. I’d already sent off for a noter after having watched some of your videos. The harmonies you create with dulcimer and guitar are exquisite. Many Welsh traditional folk songs are modal, so they lend themselves well to the dulcimer. I’m also so excited to find an instrument I can play without bending my arthritic fingers in directions they’d rather not go. I’ve missed playing the guitar and forgotten how relaxing playing (or trying to play) music can be.
I love your Welsh songs, and would love to visit Wales.
Very nice.
Thank you. :-)
