CD RELEASE: Cerdd Dannau by Gwenan Gibbard

Cerdd Dannau by Gwenan Gibbard

Cerdd dant is essentially the unique and ancient art of singing poetry to harp accompaniment. Its origins date back to the earliest centuries, when the harper would declaim his poetry to his own accompaniment, in praise of his chief or prince. In Wales there has always been a special relationship between music and poetry: there are many references to singing poetry to the accompaniment of the harp in Welsh manuscripts from the middle ages on wards, and this tradition continues to this day.
