Gwobr Arbennig y Prif Weinidog – Syr Karl Jenkins a Dr Mererid Hopwood

Ar 21 Hydref 2016, buom yn cofio hanner can mlynedd ers trychineb Aberfan lle collodd 116 o blant a 28 o oedolion eu bywydau. 

Cafodd Syr Karl Jenkins a’r Dr Mererid Hopwood eu comisiynu gan S4C i gyfansoddi darn corawl newydd i gofio’r drychineb ar gyfer cyngerdd o’r enw Cantata Memoria  a berfformiwyd y tro cyntaf yng Nghanolfan Mileniwm Cymru.

Roedd y gyngerdd yn coffáu cyfnod anodd iawn yn hanes Cymru ond oherwydd natur ei hymdriniaeth, llwyddodd i ennyn cefnogaeth y teuluoedd. Roedd y darn yn synfyfyrio ar boen y golled ond gan edrych yr un pryd tua’r dyfodol. Tipyn o gamp oedd sicrhau’r cydbwysedd hwnnw ond fe lwyddodd, gan roi cyfle i’n gwlad gofio’r diwrnod mewn ffordd sensitif ac urddasol.

Wrth siarad am enillwyr Gwobr Arbennig y Prif Weinidog, dywedodd Carwyn Jones:

**First Minister’s Special Award \- Sir Karl Jenkins and Dr Mererid Hopwood**


The 21 October 2016 marked the 50th Anniversary of the Aberfan disaster, which tragically claimed the lives of 116 children and 28 adults.


Sir Karl Jenkins and Dr Mererid Hopwood were commissioned by S4C to compose a new choral piece in memorial of this disaster for this concert called Cantata Memoria and its world premiere was held at the Wales Millennium Centre.


The concert commemorated a very difficult time in Welsh history but it was handled in such a way that it took the families with it. It reflected the pain of loss while at the same time looked to the future.  It was a very difficult balance to achieve but the piece succeeded and allowed our nation the opportunity to remember the day in a sensitive and dignified way.


Speaking about the First Minister’s Special Award winners, Carwyn Jones said:



> “What Sir Karl and Dr Mererid accomplished was incredible. Through their music, they brought together not only the community, but so many people from Wales and the world to share in this commemoration.”
