Glantaf

Description "Glantaf"

Originally titled 'Eglwys Glantaf (Glyntaff Church)', and 'Glyntaff' before both were crossed out by the composer, who settled on simply 'Glantaf'. The copyist's manuscript of 'Four Welsh Impressions' sticks with 'Glantaf', placing it second in the 'Four Welsh Impressions'. The pieces from this collection are based on a copyist's version of the score - to give the order of pieces - and from there based on Morfydd's own writing. This piece by the Welsh composer Morfydd Owen is just one of several new editions of Morfydd Owen pieces to be published with Tŷ Cerdd which are based directly on the evidence of manuscripts held at Cardiff University's Special Collections and Archives.

Available as a printed collection here.

As recorded by Brian Ellsbury on the CD Portrait of a Lost Icon.
