Thread Name: How Green Was My Valley (songs)
Subject: RE: How Green Was My Valley (songs)
Working with the TCM list and listening to clips, I was able to match most of the tunes with where they occur. I could still use help with the remaining bits. Changes shown in bold.
0:05 Rhyfelgyrch Gwyr Harlech (Men of Harlech): Title music 3.50 Cwm Rhondda (Rhondda Valley): Men walking home from mines 12:00 Calon Lan: Wedding: walking up the aisle 13:40 Llwyn on (The Ash Grove): Wedding: procession out of the church 14.10 Hob y derry dando: wedding: bringing out the cake 15.15 Peter O'Pea (Here's a man won't get drunk): wedding celebration 16:00 Mochyn du (The Black Pig): Wedding celebration 34.50 Mentra gwen (The stars in heaven are bright): serenading mother on recovery 36.05 Myfanwy: same scene, mother at door 48:30 God Save the Queen: in church, after receipt of royal invitation 53.10 Penparc: hymn in church 1.05:38 Cwm Rhondda: Angharad's wedding procession (same as an earlier song) 1.20:17 ??: Death of Ivor 1.27:10 Bryn Calfaria: Men walking to mine 1.41:40 Llef (aka "Deus salutis"): hymn 1.52:10 ??: descent into mine after the explosion 1.56:xx ??: ascent from the mine with the body 1.56:45 Myfanwy: ending 1.57.52 ??: film credits
Notes: Calon Lan: Gwyrosydd (lyricist) = Daniel James (1847-1920). Llef: by Griffith Hugh Jones (Gutyn Arfon), Gemau Mawl, 1890; written in memory of his brother Dewi Arfon (David Hugh Jones). I Saw a Tiny Streamlet: Owain Alaw [Pencerdd] = John Owen (1821-1883).
No clue about "The Sixpence" or "I Saw a Tiny Streamlet" (though I suspect this is the music for the end credits).
