'Seiniau Uchel, Carbon Isel' is a project lead by Bangor Univeristy in partnership with Pontio and M-SParc, and sponsored by the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol. They have organised a musical/video performance that will be streamed live on an AM channel.

As part of the project, pianist and composer Tristian Evans will perform the 30-minute multi-media work ‘Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau’.

Adopting the process of recycling in a creative context, Tristian Evans weaves together old religious tunes, archive visual material, Biblical texts and youth voices in two multimedia works for piano that respond to the climate crisis.

Dŵr, Haul, Gwynt, Golau (Water, Sun, Wind, Light) integrates environmental words and visual materials created by young people that coincide with the piano score. Tir (Creadigaeth/Etifeddiaeth) (Land (Creation/Legacy)) responds to the notion of creation and legacy of the earth with Biblical references, in addition to exploring the pianist’s agricultural roots on Anglesey during the nineteenth century.

The performance will last approximately half an hour on 25 November 2020 (19:30)

This article outlines the valuable contribution made by Annie Ellis (neé Davies) to the folksong revival in Wales and in particular her influence in the Aberystwyth/Cardiganshire district during the early decades of the Twentieth Century. It draws on original correspondence, fieldwork diaries, notated transcriptions, newspaper articles (in Welsh and French) and phonograph recordings from the National Library of Wales, the British Library, Bibliotèque Nationale de France and private collections. The following areas are discussed:

• Annie Ellis’s involvement in folksong related activities at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth, including the establishing of the Canorion Society, folksong collecting competitions and performances of J. Lloyd Williams’s operetta, Aelwyd Angharad (Angharad’s Hearth).
• Six historically significant concerts of traditional Welsh music given by a quartet of undergraduate singers in Paris during March 1911, including performances at Le Lied en Tout Pays and the Richelieu Amphitheatre (Sorbonne). This visit represented the embodiment of the Entente Cordiale established between Britain and France during the years leading up to the First World War. Association with Madame Lucie Barbier (head of vocal studies at the University) and the positive response of the Parisian press.
• Ruth Lewis and Annie Ellis’s three day fieldwork visit to Landyssul, Pencader and the surrounding district in June 1913 and the outcome of their folk song collecting, including an evaluation of the texts and melodies collected.

The article also highlights the role of one Edwardian woman in developing the cultural life of Wales and her attempts to promote Welsh traditional music on an international platform.

Mae'r seren bop Gymreig Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) yn ein tywys ar wibdaith dros sawl cyfandir i ddarganfod ewythr colledig ym Mhatagonia - y gitarydd mewn poncho, René Griffiths. Ym 1880, yn dilyn ras geffylau ddadleuol wnaeth arwain at farwolaeth amheus, rhwygwyd teulu Gruff Rhys pan ymunodd Dafydd Jones a'i deulu ifanc â'r fintai i'r Wladfa Gymreig ym Mhatagonia, De America. Ni fu cysylltiad rhwng y ddwy gangen deuluol am bron i ganrif, tan ddaeth René Griffiths i Gymru ym 1974 i wefreiddio cynulleidfaoedd gyda'i ganeuon serch Hisbaenaidd. Dilyna'r cyfarwyddwr Dylan Goch daith Gruff Rhys trwy theatrau, clybiau nos a thai te Cymru, Brasil ac Andes yr Ariannin, wrth iddo ddarganfod hanes ei deulu, Cymry Patagonia, a'u hetifeddiaeth gerddorol.

This article examines a Welsh choir’s visit to Franco’s Spain at the invitation of the Francoist organisation Educación y Descans (Education and Leisure). At first the invitation sparked a debate in the local press on the principles of travelling to a country that was at the time shunned by the international community. The choir itself came from an area which had provided volunteers for the international brigades, but which was also co-incidentally involved with the establishment of an international music festival in the name of peace and understanding. The article examines the account of the choir’s journey to Spain, and discusses how the image of the Franco regime is portrayed in that account. The article also analyses to what extent the choir’s visit was used as propaganda by Franco as his foreign policy shifted with the advent of the Cold War.
