This stirring music first appeared as March of the Men of Harlech in Musical and Poetical Relics of the Welsh Bards (Edward Jones, London 1784). The song was also used in the movie "Zulu" (1964).

    I envy you & your experience. Being in a authentic pub is in itself rewarding, but to hear a Welsh male choir testing the acoustics must have been a wonderful thing!

  • LadyDeirdre

    Thank you for your comment. I'm not surprised to hear there are a variety of different lyrics for this inspiring piece of music. When I created the video I used the first set of lyrics I found on the internet. I was experimenting with video creation & uploading. The piece still gives me goosebumps!

  • Much respect to the Welsh, their courage, bravery, and devotion to duty, is something to be marveled and forever remembered, as soldiers who fight on despite the odds. God bless the Welsh.
