The volume is handsomely illustrated and contains musical examples and previously unpublished imagery. It offers readers, both general and specialist, an introduction to, and analysis of, the traditional music of Wales. With musical examples throughout, the book is written in a straightforward, accessible style by an acknowledged authority in the field, who places the material firmly into a social and historical context. Covering the period from medieval times to the present day, this study should appeal to anyone with an interest in the cultural history of the people of Wales. The first chapters examine music in Welsh life from the end of the Roman occupation to medieval times, connecting in particular with the function of poets during the Heroic Age and in later courts of the Welsh princes. The author goes on to discuss the decline of the traditional bardic system and corresponding rise in Anglicisation of the gentry in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries and the impact this had on Welsh folk dance and music. In the second half of the book, among the many different forms of Welsh traditional music discussed are seasonal music (including wassail songs, Christmas and May carols and Plygain carols), folk drama, ballad-singing, the relevance of the eisteddfod and the musical journals of the nineteenth century. It includes a history of song collecting from the eighteenth century to the establishment and ongoing activities of the Welsh Folk-Song Society in the twentieth. Tune names and the transferral of scores to manuscript are also discussed, with both instrumental and vocal traditions examined, as well as the uniquely Welsh tradition of ‘cerdd dant’. This is a work of pioneering scholarship that accounts for Welsh traditional music within the context of a greater Welsh musical tradition. 'The traditional music of Wales is rich and multi-faceted. This book, which has been written in a spirit of appreciation and respect, is a well-deserved acknowledgement of the unique and influential role of that music in the shaping of the Welsh nation.'
