I Old W els Melodies I — + — BOROUGH MEMBER AND THE CYMANFA. I A very successful cvmanfa ganu was I' held at Carmarthen last week, the con- l ductor being Mr. John Thomas, Llanelly. I Speaking at the evening gathering, Mr. Llewelyn Williams, M.P., dealt with Welsk music, and said that there was nothing to touch the oM Welsh melodies (alawon) although there were some very iino modern compositions. Among the tunes sung at the national cymanfa at Aberystwyth and Birkenhead there were none of greater merit and grandeur than the "alawon Cymreig"—that was the considered opinion of a high authority on music given him some time ago. It was no wonder, therefore, that the melodies were so popular at singing fes- tivals. The "cymanfa" had done a great deal for choral singing in Wales. Referring to Mr. Williams' remarks, Mr. John Thomas said he recalled that, when the Llanelly Royal Choir (of which he was conductor) was touring America their concert audience at a certain town was composed entirely of Dutch people. The choir gave the choruses of some of the great masters, but they all left the audience cold—there was not a spark of enthusiasm among them, and it was only the singing of the Welsh airs "Ar hyd y nos" and "Harlech" that first stirred enthusiasm, and after that it was kept up to the end of the programme.
