From BBC 1 TV on 6.7.69, Cymanfa Ganu a hymn singing festival from The Tabernacle Chapel, Morriston, Glamorgan in the presence of H. R. H. The Prince of Wales.

Masses Choirs of South Wales - The Tabernacle Choir, Morriston Orpheus, New Siloh Choir, Swansea Male Voice Choir, Dunvant Male Voice Choir, Morriston Ladies Choir, St. David's Church Singers, Morriston Aelwyd Choir - recorded in the famous Tabernavle Congregational Chapel, Morriston, Glamorgan.

Conductor: Alun John. Organist: Eurfyn John.

Wherever Welshmen congregate, be it at a rugby international match in Cardiff or as a group of exiles in some distant corner of the earth, one thing is certain - there will be singing. Uniquely, the singing will be in harmony and the tunes sung will be hymn-tunes. Such is the grip the 'Cymanfa Ganu' has on the hearts of Welsh people everywhere.

The Welshman's love of song and his natural desire to harmonise, however, may well have sprung from deeper sources than the 'Cymanfa Ganu'. Gerallt Gyrmo (Giraldus Cambrensis) back in the twelfth century stated that 'the Welsh sing in as many parts as there are voices'. He was probably exaggerating. Nevertheless the ability to harmonise spontaneously appears to be as much a part of the Welshman's make-up as his love of song.

The word 'Cymanfa' has long been in the vocabulary of the Welsh. Originally it meant 'a gathering, or an assembly' but by today it has assumed a more religious significance. And, or course, this is what a 'Cymanfa Ganu' really is - a basically religious festival, in which the medium of worship is in the form of song. Its roots are deep in the fertile soil of Welsh non-conformity. The first 'Cymanfa Ganu' was probably held around 1800.

But it was not until 1859 that it really came into its own under the influence of Ieuan Gwyllt and the religious revival which started in the same year. New hymns were written during the revivals and these were sung in the 'Cymanfaoedd Canu' throughout Wales. It is here perhaps that one may become aware of a diffference between 'community singing' and a 'Cymanfa Ganu'. A 'Cymanfa Ganu' consists, naturally, of the singing of hymns, but it is also a devotional service and has a certain dignity peculiar to itself.

The hymns sung on this record include some of the best known of all Welsh hymns, the ones beloved of 'Cwmanfaoedd Canu' in Wales and among the Welsh communities through the World. Some of the hymns have been composed and written by people who had connections with Morriston - such as 'Blaenwern' which was composed by a former conductor of the Tabernacle Choir. Another, 'Yydi a Roddaist', a hymn dear to the heart of every tenor in Wales, was composed by Arwel Hughes, Head of Music, BBC Wales.

One by-product of the 'Cymanfa Ganu' in Wales has been the growth of large choirs and it was fitting that the massed choirs of the Swansea and Morriston areas should have been brought together for a 'Cymanfa Ganu' to be attended by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales where large choirs are more plentiful and flourishing and nowhere have the people been as thoroughly immersed in the great Welsh tradition of hymn-singing.

It is thus appropriate in many ways about this recording should be made in the Tabernacle Congregational Chapel, Morriston, the largest non-conformist church in Wales, and that the conductor should be Alun John, a young man who has done much to promote Welsh music-making on a national and international scale. In great demand as a conductor of these festivals in Wales he has also made a number of appearances in the United States. As conductor of the Tabernacle Augmented Choir he derives immense pleasure from conducting but none so great as from conducting but none so great as from conducting this 'Cymanfa Ganu' before the Prince of Wales.

The act of singing, it is said, is something which fills the singer with great joy and a feeling of well-being. The Welsh people discovered this long ago. And the act of listening, too, especially to such wonderful voices and glorious hymn-tunes as these is a source of deep and long-lasting pleasure.

This 'Cymanfa Ganu' at Morrison was also recorded for BBC television's 'Songs of Praise' on July 6 and thus became one of the many BBC programmes reflecting the great events in Wales during the period of the Investiture of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. Never before has world attention been focuses so closely on the Principality. It was estimated that, through BBC Television, five hundred million people watched he spectacle and pageantry of the Investiture Ceremony at Caernarvon Castle on July 1, with viewers in America, Canada, Australia, Europe and many other countries among the audience. Radio broadcasts embraced the whole world.

In the fierce light that beat upon him at this time it is sincerely hoped that His Royal Highness gained, through the singing at Morriston, an awareness of the special flavour of Welsh life and of the joy the Welsh people derive from raising their voices in song.

As Prince of Wales, it is now his right to share in their life and their joy.
