Ffarwél i Aberystwyth - tr. Sioned Webb

Blas o fy sesiwn ar ran y Gymdeithas Alawon Gwerin yn yr Eisteddfod AmGen eleni!
Diolch enfawr i Sam Durrant o Stiwdio Un am y golygu!

Dyma i chi, felly, drefniant arbennig Sioned Webb o'r gân werin 'Ffarwél i Aberystwyth'; cân sy'n sôn am dorcalon llongwr sy'n ffarwelio â bro ei febyd a'i gariad ar ôl iddi ddod â'u perthynas i ben. Codwyd y gân o ganu Dan Evans gan Jennie Williams o Aberystwyth, a'i chynnwys mewn casgliad o ganeuon gwerin a anfonwyd i gystadleuaeth yn Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Caerfyrddin, 1911.

A taste of my session I held on behalf of the Welsh Folk Song Society as a part of the Eisteddfod AmGen!

A massive thanks to Sam Durrant at Stiwdio Un for the editing!

Here is Sioned Webb's arrangement of the folk song 'Farewell to Aberystwyth'. It is sung by a heartbroken sailor who bids farewell to the town of Aberystwyth after being rejected by his lover. The song was first noted by Jennie Williams of Aberystwyth from the singing of Dan Evans, and included in her collection of folk songs for the 1911 National Eisteddfod in Carmarthen.
