Cindy Help wanted. Welsh Canu Penillion (9) Help wanted. Welsh Canu Penillion 21 Feb 04


I hope I've spelt that right. Apologies to Welsh speakers if I haven't. I want to see if I can develop some penillion style songs for classical guitar / voice. As I understand it, penillion singing is where the instrument plays a recognisable tune and the voice sings a sort of descant against it. Am I right? Perhaps someone with more knowledge of Welsh culture can help. Can anyone recommend a book / CD or anything else which might point me in the right direction? I read music and tablature and could probably adapt piano / harp music to guitar if necessary, but I can also pick things up by ear. I'm English but speak a little Welsh as I've lived in Wales a long time.
