A compilation of Welsh folk music. Wonderful performances with lots of nostalgia, love of country, and tradition. Both instrumental and vocal tracks (all vocals in Welsh (track #8 has some spoken word in English as well). Great notes too. Really solid, interesting stuff. *1. Delicate female vocals, downtempo & gently sad. *2. Rich, elegant pipes and & fiddle. Midtempo, like a medieval dance. 3. Slow and sad male vocals & solo harp. Heartbreaking. 4. Slow concertina/flute/guitar instrumental. Emotional and tragic. *5. A capella female vocal. Slow and moving. So beautiful. 6. Flute/fiddle duet. Midtempo and stately w/a regal air. *7. A capella male vocal, rough and atmospheric. Slow, dramatic. *8. Spoken word, solo fiddle slow/mid w/a rich melody. 9. Harp & trumpet. Slow w/delicate touch & rich with tragedy. 10. Voice, fiddle & guitar. Down/midtempo and sweet. *11. Harp & fiddle duet. A bright toe-tapper w/a slight air of sadness. 12. Medley of flute duets. Mid/uptempo w/an unvarnished sweetness. 13. Slow and sweet male vocals, fiddle, harp. Reflective and warm. *14. Slow w/rich, warm female vocals. Lovely harmonies. | ||
