Subject: RE: Tune Req: Ffansi Ffarmwr From: sian, west wales Date: 10 Aug 05 - 08:10 AM This isn't a dance or tune that I know (at least, I don't think I do), so I've been asking around. From some comments I've received, it sounds like Ffansi Ffarmwr is the name of the dance, not the tune, but it may have transferred one to the other in popular use. Rhiain Bebb, who plays for two of our better dance teams tells me: "Gellir defnyddio unrhyw jig 32 bar. Mae’r Gymdeithas Ddawns yn awgrymu ‘Nant y Glyn’ allan o‘r llyfr ‘Cadw Twmpath’ fel enghraifft." Thought I'd just give Chris some practice. Translated: "Any 32 bar jig will do. The Dance Society suggests (the tune) 'Nant y Glyn' from the book 'Holding a Twmpath' for example." If I find out more, I'll let you know. siân |

Subject: Tune Req: Ffansi Ffarmwr From: Chris in Wheaton Date: 09 Aug 05 - 02:48 PM We're having a Welsh Family Heritage Day in Oak Park, Illinois in October and I agreed to put together a little group to play while dances are taught to the attendees. I have found all the tunes requested for the dances, except for Ffansi Ffarmwr. I have the Welsh Dance Society cd, so we can know how it generally sounds, but I was hoping that someone could point me to the abc's or other music source. Thanks for any help given, Chris in Wheaton |
