Invented Part Singing
The Cymw cit took the Eng
lish to call them the "Welsh")
invented part singing. The his
torian Giraldus. writing in 1888,
described their skill in vocal
music, noting that they sang
in parts and not in unison as
. everyone else did at the time.
In the little chapels and
churches dotting the hills and
valleys Of Cambria (Which the
English called Wales), the con-
gregations would attend regu-
lar religious services then re-
main for an hour Of pure song.
Month after month they
would rehearse q small group
Of hymns and q few secular
songs,
Then all the congregations
from q wide area would assem-
bic for q big Gymanfa. or Joint
singing session. The music
they produced has given the
Welsh q worldwide reputation
for community singing.
Since many simple hymns
did not lend themselves to this
complicated four-part treat
ment. Welsh composers wrote
hymns just for the purpose.
On Saturday afternoon. Au-
gust 81. former Ambassador
Joseph Z. Davies win give q
