Tŷhai: Gwanwyn
Gwanwyn by Tŷhai (www.tyhai.com)
The title track of our debut CD album "Gwanwyn".
In this celebration of the coming of Spring, Raj has taken a traditional melody from The Ancient National Airs of Gwent and Morganwg as the basis for a song setting of a poem by the fourteenth-century poet, Dafydd Ap Gwilym.
The explosive energy of spring is expressed in Rajesh’s melody which brings the piece to a close.
Pan ddel Mai a’i lifrai las
ar irddail i roi’r urddas
aur a dyf ar edafedd
ar y llwyn er mwyn a’i medd.
Teg yw’r pren a gwyrennig
y tyf yr aur tew o’r frig.
Duw a roes, difai yw’r ail,
aur gawod ar y gwiail.
Bid llawen gwen bod llwyn gwydd
o baradwys i brydydd.
Blodau gorau a garwn;
barrug haf ydyw’r brig hwn.
When May comes in its green livery
with ordination for the fresh leaves
then green grows along the threads
of the bush for him who owns it.
Fair is the tree and lively,
from whose branches grow thick gold;
God gave, o faultless structure,
a shower of gold to its stalks.
Let my girl rejoice that a green grove
makes a paradise for a poet.
We love the loveliest flowers,
but these boughs are summer’s frost.
An exciting Indo-Celtic collaboration between three musicians based in Wales:
Rajesh David (Indian vocals), Pete Stacey (saxophone and flute) and Dylan Fowler (guitar).
Their musical adventure travels from the airs and dance melodies of Wales and the Celtic world to the ragas and rhythms of India.
