Cwricwlwm Cymreig

The Cwricwlwm Cymreig day can be adjusted or altered to fit the particular needs of the school.

How It Works
The musicians work with around 30/ 40 children at a time. Each session lasts for 30/40mins. The day will include a selection from the following items.

We will begin by showing the children each instrument in turn and giving it its Welsh name. We will explain its historical use using simple Welsh words and phrases. A short item will be played.

Pibcorn (Horn Pipe) Made from cattle horn and played by shepherds in Wales. They sometimes accompanied themselves dancing over sheep skins. Tune: Machynlleth

Ffidl (Fiddle) We show how the fiddle was played in Wales, displaying the different sounds it makes both in volume and rhythm. Children are encouraged to clap and keep time with the music. Tune: Pant Corlan yr Wyn

Y Delyn (The Harp) The harp in Wales was used both as a dance instrument and for playing airs or tunes. During the 19th. century at the court of Lady Llanofer, in Llanofer, Gwent, a harpist was employed who played at all special occasions. Also all the servants were dressed in traditional costume and would dance the Llanofer Reel to entertain guests. Tune: Ril Llanofer/Taith ar y Ferri

Pib (Pipe or Whistle) We will play a slow air and show the children high and low pitch tones, displaying vibrato and slides. Tune: Alawon Fy Ngwlad.

Music and Dance
Dawns y Glocsen (The Clog Dance) We will show the children a traditional Welsh clog dance with wooden clogs. The children will learn some traditional Welsh stepping.

Dawnsio Gwerin (Folk Dancing) We will teach the children a traditional Welsh folk dance giving each instruction in Welsh and then in English.
