Although all of the songs sung at the Cymanfa Ganu have been published, these records were made to preserve a prominent feature of Welsh community life in Wisconsin.
The meeting of Cymanfa Ganu is held at Penial Chruch, Pickett, Wis. on every fourth Sunday of August. There are three services which consist of the singing of sacred music. The services are at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 7 p.m. Each lasts two hours. The farmers go home to do the chores after the afternoon meeting and return for the evening session. Lunch and supper are served to all who attend.
Hymn found in Cân a mawl #247.
We were told that "Alaw" designates "bard" and indicates that the melody was submitted at a competition.
