INTRODUCTION
I had the good fortune to be exposed to Wales’ wealth of folk music from an early age. You may be familiar with a few Welsh folk tunes yourself, as many are know worldwide. In writing this book my intention is to give harpists, young and old, the opportunity to enjoy these tunes as they improve their harp technique. Loose translations are provided to give an understanding of the Welsh verses. Additionally, some interesting background notes have been provided by Miss Phyllis Kinney and Dr. Meredydd Evans, two of Wales’ leading authorities on Welsh folk songs. I am extremely grateful to them for their invaluable contribution. I am also indebted to Rhydian Griffiths for tracing the copyright ownership of some of the Welsh verses. Last, but not least, I must thank my husband, Brian, for preparing with enthusiasm this book for publication.
