Hyd Y Frwynen

Dysges i y tiwn ’ma yn gynta yn Llandeilo, Sir Gaerfryddin. Poblogiadd efo cerddorion gwerin ym mhobman yng Nghymru ydy hi, a dwi eu chwarau ar bibau neu ffidil.
Efo pibau, ’rhaid i mi transposio i G minor.

I first learned this tune in Llandeilo, Carmarthenshire. It is popular with folk musicians everywhere in Wales and I play it on pipes and fiddle.
With pipes I have to transpose it to G minor.

Hyd Y Frwynen, X:2

The very first version I learned.

Hyd Y Frwynen, X:3

The way John Tose, the Welsh piper, plays it.
