GUEST,Dave Williams Help: Odd old Welsh hymnal music notation (41) RE: Help: Odd old Welsh hymnal music notation 04 Feb 02


All of the above, depending on the word which precedes it (Cymraeg)!!!

There is a $10 registration fee for the National Gymanfa Ganu, Burke. It applies to any or all portions of the event.

A little more detail about mutations (the change in initial letter of Welsh words): the word "cymanfa" means an assembly or gathering. "Cymanfa Ganu" means a singing gathering or singing festival. When the word "y", meaning "the" precedes "cymanfa", the "c" changes (mutates) to a "g". Mutation is not much different than slurring words in any language, such as pronouncing "water" as "wadder", except that it has become formalized.

Sian, the Ontario Welsh Festival is on 26 - 28 April in Kingston. Hotel rates $99 Canadian per night at the Ambassador. Contact Myfanwy Davies, #2 - 3205 Uplands Drive, Ottawa, ON K1V 9T3.
