I love the choir on the recording.Are there any womens' Welsh choirs?(had to ask,laugh).

We do the lot - women’s choirs, children, youth, mixed - any excuse! At our annual cultural festival, the National Eisteddfod, there are dozens of choral competitions. :-)

Beth, thanks for the tune. What means "Y Delyn Aur" in Welsh?

"Y Delyn Aur' means 'The Golden Harp'. The hymn was a popular part of the repertoire of male voice choirs. My father was a lifelong member of the Morriston Orpheus choir. I remember listening to their version of it as a child on our record player. You can listen to it now on YouTube -

The first verse ends with the words "Ni bydd diwedd byth ar sŵn y delyn aur"  - 'there will never be an end to the sound of the golden harp'.

Thanks for the lovely melodies,Beth.Your dulcimer sounds great.

There is a beautiful solemnity to this tune and you play it beautifully.
