Description

This collection showcases the rhythmic beauty of Welsh traditional dance music through two distinct pieces, each rich in cultural heritage. The first selection, a lively jig known as the Bishop of Bangor's Jig, draws upon melodies from the renowned Playford's Dancing Master, dating back to 1703, capturing the essence of lively Welsh festivities.

The second piece, Tri Hanner-Tôn or Three Half-Tunes, presents a more reflective and nuanced melody from 1784. Arranged by Bryceson Treharne, these compositions invite both dancers and listeners to immerse themselves in the joy and vibrancy of traditional Welsh dance, celebrating the artistry and depth of this musical legacy.
