On St. David’s Day, here’s a recital of Welsh folk songs, performed by the late Osian Ellis. The cellist is David Ffrangcon Thomas.

For something on a larger scale, check out Arwel Hughes’ oratorio “Dewi Sant” (“Saint David”).

But if you’ve only two minutes, there’s always “Men of Harlech.”

The melody forms the climax of Edward German’s “Welsh Rhapsody.”

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus!
