Cor y Penrhyn - Sanctus - Penrhyn Male Voice Choir

[morrigancrow60]

Lord Penrhyn actually use to own a lot of the slate quarries in Wales, especially in Bethesda which is where this choir is from. Thats where they took their name from I believe. A lot of the Welsh choirs origionally formed in the quarried. Cor Penrhyn major claim to fame (besides being awsome people!) is one of the oldest choirs in Wales

Does anyone know where the name Penrhyn comes from - I understand it's Welsh - but would like to know what it means and where the choir got it's name from - Beautifully sung

I prefer to here Welsh male voice choirs unaccompanied and this is powerfully executed, thank you so much.

In 1946 our (Dutch) choir sang this (and other hymns from The German Mass) in Dutch; later in Maassluis'MV Choir we sang it in the original German language. I really do like the Welsh choir singing it in Welsh.

Very nice.

How did the Penrhyn Choir get it's name - It obviously gets the name from Wales - but what does Penrhyn mean and where does the choir originate from? Any ideas?
