Hell on earth !!! I have lived outside your country for over 45 years... I am 75 years old. If I had the money by golly I would return...Marvellous. Wonderful. Wales...Wales...

[@juliephillips3374]

Oh my Lord. Im a welsh woman whose grandad was in a choir. This is such a huge part of my life. We used to play in the schools playground when they rehearsed. At grandad's funeral his mates stood at the back of the crew and sang. The whole family were in tears. I really believe if I were not born into this tradition and love I would not have become a real Christian. Im actually crying now.

[@turbotek-wj8vc]

Blessings to you Julie from Texas. I am not feeling well at the moment and thought I should look up some of these choirs. I was introduced to these songs on an episode of Midsomer Murders where DCI Jones talks about his family. Lovely.

[@antm64]

I wish more cultures would encourage male voices to sing together! This is so beautiful to hear!! Thank you for posting...much appreciated!

[@paulneal697]

I am convinced beyond a iota of doubt that everyone in Wales has a beautiful voice. No doubt the largest national group that will sing in God's heavenly choir will be Welsh. An admirer from Iowa.

Hope you have found the 1963 Gymanfa Ganu here on KZbin then.... what a nice thing to say Paul :)

[@davidgrieger5327]

I lived in North Wales for 10 months. A good friend was a member of his town's Male Voice Choir. The concerts were fabulous. I also had the chance to hear 1000 Male voices sing in Royal Albert Hall. I have loved Welsh music ever sonce.

@Iza Lloyd Very interesting and good that it is still going this day and age. Well done you. Da iawn chi.

Pray for Wales, I visited Cardiff last week (South Wales) and found almost no person to speak the language and what is worse: a beautiful church called "Corner Stone" is being used for business-events and not anymore for worship. Pray for the university of Cardiff, where people from allover the world are in! .... REVIVAL, spiritual awakening towards Christ, may start there. Even if there are only a few, God can move again like 1904/1905 or mightier. Send your HOLY SPIRIT, LORD, and move again in a mighty way, in Jesus Name, Amen! (from Switzerland)

I don't speak or understand the Welsh language, but in my opinion it is the most beautiful language especially when sung. Thank You for posting. Happy Christmas from Ireland.

This is lovely to hear so many. men In a choir together

[@matthewsykes4814]

There are moments in my life that will forgotten in time, these little events are so tiny to the cosmos so as not even exist. But to me they are as precious as any jewel or rare metal, as priceless as any painting. They are a treasure of the heart, this is superb. There is nothing better than a full voice choir. Wales, your language is bonkers, but your voice is one the whole world knows as the best. Pair your voices with the mining brass bands of Yorkshire......the world will feel it

[@rachaelannandale6002]

That’s a beautiful idea! ❤

[@halmayer6619]

Just yesterday I heard Welch choral music for the first time in a television program called Midsummer Murders and I was immediately captured by this gorgeous sound and the breathtaking views of Wales, of which I had no prior knowledge. Even now at age 86 I am learning wonderful new things about our World..

[@johnjones-ri2lb]

Welsh ,please!

[@Landybandy1]

Hal Mayer well at 86 we’re glad you found us. And even if your way of spelling is Welch we know what you mean. You say such kind words about our country, maybe you’ll be lucky enough to visit us. We’re also very friendly people & love to talk & meet new people. Take care & thank you.

[@dennisking1451]

beautiful tone and quality, something quite distinctive about a Welsh Male Voice Choir

[@beaubarri]

Nothing else like it.

[@scw55]

It's like a wall of comfort crashing down on you.

[@nocoskull44]

As a Scot whose family were all singers (me being the exception!!) I totally agree

[@fightinfetus]

There is something particularly beautiful and wonderful to both the eyes and the ears about a room full of only MEN all singing together. I search for men-only choirs, and the Welsh ones are a treasure to find! While an auditorium is designed to maximize and compliment sound, I also like to envision what they'd sound and look like walking through a forest. The trees, and all of of the forest would be joyful witnesses...

Englishmen. Listen. This is music from the heart. Sacred music as well. Sung by the Cymru but also by all their Celtic brothers and sisters.

[@sovietkaraoke2185]

I am Russian and I appreciate it. I once sang in a small choir myself, when I worked at a state school. I don't really have any musical talent but I loved the experience.

[@jakew7982]

[@davecooper5951]

This goes back many, many generations (and famous battles). It's part of our culture. I'm still working on how to improve my voice though !

[@maisieegger4389]

Growing up in Scotland I was entranced always by the Welsh male voice choirs, especially made up of the coal miners. No other components of the British Isles ever had such wonderful group singing.

Fire the director/conductor! I want my Welsh Choirs untamed... and not Englishified. A tamed lion is not what a lion is all about. You've lost what made you both great and unique in the first place. Or have you forgotten "A Nation Sings"?

[@Ddeuddeg12]

I haven't forgotten. I had those sets of hymns from the 60s on vinyl, back before it became fashionable again, and you could afford it. I had the benefit of growing up with grandparents who would let me tag along to the song festivals that were so popular in the Western NY/Southern Ontario area back then. It's how I learned to sing. You couldn't be more correct: untamed is the best.
