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
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?
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
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.

Is Welsh language different from Breton ?
I don't speak breton neither gallo (the other language of my beautiful country, a roman language)...
As for me, music is the language of Heaven and, of cousre, of Peace...

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